Our list of tips will help any traveler get the most out of their trip to culturally rich and ultra-hospitable Oman © Emily_M_Wilson / Getty Images
In Oman , visitors find pristine desert landscapes and nature experiences , all in a modern Gulf country with a vibrant cultural heritage.
This heritage is apparent in the many languages spoken in the country, forts and archeological sites along ancient trading routes, and traditional practices such as rosewater distillation.
Today, warm and welcoming Omanis still live by their classic societal values of humility, kindness and hospitality. They’ll invite visitors to share a meal, or go out of their way to guide a lost traveler.
To make your trip a truly memorable exercise in cultural exchange and mutual respect, here are some things to know before head to to Oman.
![tenzing travel oman Two people swimming in the turqoise waters of Wadi Shab, Oman](https://lp-cms-production.imgix.net/2022-03/GettyRF_595140202.jpg?w=1920&auto=format&q=75)
![](http://playon.fun/777/templates/cheerup/res/banner1.gif)
1. Dress modestly, even when swimming
Female visitors do not need to wear a hijab in Oman, but dressing generally modestly is recommended. While Omanis will be too polite to say anything, clothes that don’t appear respectful to the culture will certainly affect the quality of your interactions.
Women should wear clothing that covers their shoulders and reaches below the knees (and also covers their arms and ankles, when visiting a mosque). Avoid low-cut tops, short skirts, shorts and dresses, and garment that’s transparent or clings to the body. Women must wear a headscarf (they can bring their own) while visiting a mosque.
Men should avoid tank tops and instead wear shirts or t-shirts with trousers or shorts that are at least knee-length. While visiting mosques, men must wear full-length jeans or pants.
Outside of swimming pools located in international resorts and hotels in Muscat , swimsuits and bikinis are inappropriate. This is true for natural pools located in the wadis (valleys) that you might come across while hiking in places like Wadi Tiwi and on public beaches around fishing villages.
Even the sight of foreigners in skimpy bathing suits h increasingly common to see foreigners in skimpy bathing suits, it’s wise to remember that these places are also frequented by Omanis. You might notice Omani men swimming in t-shirts and shorts – this should give you an idea of how important modesty is in the culture.
While swimming on public beaches visited by Omani families and pools close to villages, women will appear more considerate when they’re wearing a long t-shirt and shorts over their swimsuits.

2. English is widely spoken in cities
Oman’s official language is Arabic, and English is widely spoken in the cities and to a good extent in areas that have tourism infrastructure, such as the villages of Jebel Akhdar . Other than Arabic, you might hear such languages such as Kumzari, Baluchi, Swahili and, thanks to a large immigrant population, perhaps Hindi, Malayalam and Urdu, too.
3. A few local greetings will get you far
Omanis are friendly, hospitable and courteous, and these qualities are likely to permeate every interaction that you’ll have as a visitor. In Oman, conversations, however brief, and whether between strangers or friends, always begin with a proper greeting, usually “ as salam alaykum ” which translates to “peace be upon you.”
In some parts of the country, you might find yourself the subject of much curiosity, apparent from glances in your direction every few minutes or questions about where you’re from. Don’t be alarmed: Omanis take a genuine interest in visitors and want to make them feel welcome.
As such, it’s nice to greet people appropriately. Some useful phrases to know (in addition to the essential “as salam alaykum” and “walaykum as salam,” said in reply to the former), are “sabah al khayr” (good morning), “misa al khayr” (good evening) and “shukran” (thank you).
![tenzing travel oman A man serves qahwa, traditional coffee, from a thermos, Oman, Middle East](https://lp-cms-production.imgix.net/2024-02/shutterstock540695065.jpg?w=1920&auto=format&q=75)
4. For a richer experience, don’t hesitate to accept invitations
Omanis are incredibly friendly and welcoming of visitors, and it’s not unusual for visitors to receive a few invitations during their time in the country. Whether it’s an invitation to someone’s home for a chat over qahwa (Arabic coffee) and dates, a group of friends paying for your meal at a restaurant or a meal brought over by a family camping nearby, accepting such generosity will only make your trip more memorable.
Offering a guest coffee is a respect toward them, and accepting indicates that you reciprocate. In Oman, coffee is ground with spices like cardamom and cinnamon, and qahwa is brewed with saffron and rosewater and served alongside dates.
Don’t be surprised if your cup of qahwa continues to be refilled each time you return it to your host. If you’ve had enough, indicate this by tilting your cup gently from side to side before you hand it to them. A bowl of water might be placed before you: dip the fingers of your right hand in it to wash them before you pick a date or begin a meal.
The traditional way of eating is with the fingers of the right hand while seated on the floor. As a guest, wait for the host to begin and then follow their example. Don’t attempt to do this with your left hand – in Omani culture (and much of the world) that is your toileting hand.
If you find yourself visiting an Omani home, take your shoes off before you enter. Any host will deeply appreciate even the smallest of gifts, such as a box of dates, nuts or sweets from the souq (market).
![tenzing travel oman Children at a toy market on Eid al Fitr, Nizwa, Oman](https://lp-cms-production.imgix.net/2024-02/shutterstock668225605.jpg?w=1920&auto=format&q=75)
5. Ask permission before you photograph people or their homes
Whether you find yourself captivated by the scene of a vendor selling handmade silver jewelry at the Mutrah Souq , admire a group of Omani men wearing beautiful kumma (traditional patterned or embroidered caps) sipping coffee by the sea or are invited into a traditional village home, resist the urge to point your lens without asking for permission first.
Omanis deeply respect their privacy, and a stranger taking your photo without permission is considered intrusive. A quick, simple greeting in Arabic helps break the ice; local men will generally oblige.
In general, you should refrain from photographing women, especially those wearing an abaya (traditional long black robe). Under absolutely no circumstances should you attempt a photograph without first obtaining explicit permission (this is easier if you’re a woman yourself).

6. Look forward to spending time outdoors
The most enjoyable experiences in Oman take place out of doors, from gentle walks through palm plantations and watching nesting turtles on the beach to scuba diving in thriving marine reserves.
Any visitor to Oman should expect to spend a significant amount of time on road trips to get to historic medieval forts, charming fishing towns, picturesque tidal lagoons and freshwater pools hidden away in the valleys.
Wild camping is allowed, and opportunities to do so abound around the country. Be sure to pack comfortable clothing suitable for the outdoors, a tent and a sleeping bag.
7. Keep an eye on weather warnings
Low-lying valleys, beaches and wadis are prone to flash floods after heavy rainfall. It’s safer to camp on high ground and to check the weather forecast and warnings before you go.
As a result of rising ocean temperatures, tropical cyclones (most originating in the Arabian Sea) are an increasing risk leading to ocean surges, destructive winds, flooding and landfall. Pay close attention to cyclone and storm alerts and check the official website of Oman’s Directorate General of Meteorology.
![tenzing travel oman A man explores the mountains during a storm, Al Hamra, Oman](https://lp-cms-production.imgix.net/2024-02/shutterstock1810951924.jpg?w=1920&auto=format&q=75)
8. Don’t underestimate hiking routes
If you plan on hiking independently, weigh the length and difficulty of the trail against your fitness level and experience in the mountains. If you’re inexperienced with harsh environments, do not hike alone. Ensure you are carrying at least three liters of water, and always wear proper hiking shoes and a sun hat.
Trekking guides not only safely guide you around the peaks and valleys, but they can also share information on the geology of an area and the opportunity to interact with communities where English is not widely spoken.
In the peak of summer, the heat can get intense in the Hajar Mountains causing dehydration and fatigue very quickly. We don’t recommend this season for hiking.
![tenzing travel oman Men and boys at a habta Ramadan market, Nizwa, Oman](https://lp-cms-production.imgix.net/2024-02/shutterstock675033703.jpg?w=1920&auto=format&q=75)
9. Be aware of the rules during Ramadan
If you’re visiting Oman during the holy month of Ramadan , when Muslims fast from dawn to sunset, remember that non-Muslim tourists are not allowed to eat, drink, smoke, play loud music or dance in public places during the day.
Once the fast is broken after the prayers at sundown and Muslims sit down for iftar (the evening meal), it’s fine to eat outside. During the month of Ramadan, it’s even more important than usual to dress modestly.
10. When meeting a member of the opposite sex, wait for them to offer their hand
While handshakes among men are common, don’t offer your hand to initiate a handshake when you’re greeting an Omani of the opposite sex. Physical contact between members of the opposite sex does not occur, unless they are related or deeply familiar. To see whether your counterpart is comfortable and want to be greeted that way, wait for them to offer their hand first. You must always shake hands only with your right hand.
![tenzing travel oman Worker rests in the shade in the Sultans Palace in Muscat, Oman](https://lp-cms-production.imgix.net/2022-03/GettyRF_111288228.jpg?w=1920&auto=format&q=75)
11. Steer clear of inappropriate topics of conversation
Oman is a monarchy, and Omanis have deep respect not only for their country and culture but also for the leadership of the sultan. Any politically charged questions or discussions that might even obliquely criticize the ruler or the government are considered inappropriate. In any case, locals are unlikely to share their opinions on such topics with an outsider.
Rumor-mongering is punishable by law and can result in both fines and imprisonment. In the same vein, never say anything that disrespects Islam (or any other religion), or attempts to challenge religious beliefs or practices.
Foreigners might be surprised to know that it is also inappropriate for a man to ask an Omani man about the women in his family (even to inquire about his wife or daughters). It’s best to stay broad, by wishing good health to him and his family – and leave it at that.
12. Don’t drink alcohol in public or exhibit drunken behavior
Alcohol should only be consumed in licensed restaurants and bars, most of which are in international hotels. It’s illegal to drink in public (outside of such establishments) – and anyone exhibiting overly drunken behavior or being extremely loud under the influence might face legal action. Oman has zero tolerance for drug use, and possession of even small amounts can result in fines, deportation and even imprisonment.
![tenzing travel oman Men in traditional dress playing pipes, singing and dancing around in a ceremony, Nizwa, Oman](https://lp-cms-production.imgix.net/2024-02/shutterstock1940235550.jpg?w=1920&auto=format&q=75)
13. Don’t swear or make rude gestures
Swearing loudly and making offensive hand gestures are illegal and can result in legal action should the recipient register a complaint.
14. Don’t photograph government buildings or military checkpoints
In Oman, you’re prohibited from photographing and filming some government buildings, military sites and checkpoints, and military vehicles. Nor may you post photos and videos of these on social media. Doing so can attract fines and even imprisonment. If you’re unsure whether something is covered by this policy, or even unsure of what you might be photographing, err on the side of caution.
15. Make note of emergency numbers
In case of emergencies and the need for rescue, evacuation or urgent medical assistance, contact the Royal Oman Police on 9999.

Discover Oman's Hidden Treasures with Nomad Tours
Nomad Tours is a premier tour operator specializing in providing unique and authentic travel experiences in the Sultanate of Oman.
About Nomad Tours
We have been operating in the Sultanate of Oman since 2006. Nomad in Arabic is Al Rahal which means Bedouin. It’s the Bedouin love of the outdoors and their world famous hospitality that we have tried to emulate at Nomad Tours. Our ambition is to enable our guests to enjoy this beautiful country as much as we have and to leave with a feeling that they have not been ripped off and that they cannot wait to come again.
Oman is an outdoor enthusiast’s dreamland it has to have some of the best camping in the world. With wonderful camp sites high in the Jebel (mountains) on majestic beaches with white sand that stretches for miles and beautiful Wadis with lush date plantations.
On top of all that the Omanis are some of the most hospitable people on this planet.
I am an Expat who has lived in Oman for over 27 years I am still absolutely in love with the place.
To be honest, we would like to have kept this little known secret jewel of the Middle East to ourselves but when the Government decided to open up the country for Tourism we decided we better be part of it.
![Nomad 1 Camels in Desert Nomad Tours](https://nomadtours.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Camels-in-Desert-Nomad-Tours.webp)
As we watched mountain tops being leveled and beaches barricaded off to build huge 5 star hotels it was of course with mixed feelings. I guess the 5 star decadence appeals to some but not us at Nomads. Our objective is to enable people to explore this beautiful country without breaking the bank.
It is widely publicized that the goal of the Ministry of Tourism is to target the affluent Tourist I have argued vociferously that this will not be sustainable in the long term and that Oman should be encouraging tourists whatever their Budget.
There is absolutely no doubt that the best way to explore Oman is to hire a 4WD car and camping gear and head off for an adventure of a lifetime. You really do need as much time as possible there is so much natural beauty to blow your mind away. And on a budget a fraction of what the affluent are spending in the 5 star hotels you are going to see so much more
When I get inquiries from those only planning to visit for a few days, asking me what they should do … I am at a loss, there is so much to do…. I have been doing it for 27 years and still I want more!
Come to Oman , with the kids, if possible and enjoy the Jewel in the Middle East.

Solo Travel in Oman

Types of Girl about the Globe (GatG) – Desert, Historical, Nature, Ocean GatG
Oman in the Middle East is one of my favourite countries! It is really safe, the scenery is mind-blowing and the hospitality is outstanding. Tour guides and staff in accommodations speak English and the country is easy to navigate its way around. If you’re planning a solo trip to Oman, this guide covers what to see and do in Oman and how to get around Oman.
N.b. For every booking made through this article, I donate money to projects helping vulnerable girls about the globe. Thank you for helping to make a difference to their lives.
![tenzing travel oman](https://www.girlabouttheglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/IMG_4839-718x538.jpeg)
Muscat is the capital of Oman and an ideal place to begin exploring the country. The capital has been designed to retain its connection to the desert and nature. No building in Muscat is more than a few stories high so you can see the deserts or the sea with minarets from the mosque piercing the sky.
Muscat has manicured lawns, bright flowerbeds and fountains along the roadside. You honestly feel as though you have stepped into another world especially if you’re down by the port.
If you start at the port, you can watch the fishermen as they bring in the local catch for the day at Muttrah Fish Market. Inside this white covered market you can find all types of fish from red mullet to kingfish and tuna. There are even live crabs! Plus you get to buy any types of dates that you can imagine within the fruit and vegetable section.
![tenzing travel oman](https://www.girlabouttheglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/IMG_4791-718x539.jpeg)
Just a few steps from the fish market along the Mutrah corniche (the waterside area) is the Mutrah Souk, one of the oldest souks in the Arab world (it dates back 200 years). It is one of the attractions in Oman with its winding alleyways of gold and silver and traditional garments and trinkets from Oman. Its within this inside market that you can buy Omani silver, incense and Arabian scents. You don’t get hassled either. Local sellers may say hi or try to get you to into their shops but it’s all friendly so keep walking by if you don’t intend to buy anything.
If you keep following the corniche along the promenade you’ll reach the giant Frankincense Monument on the hillside, representing the Frankincense history of Oman that is an integral part of its heritage.
![tenzing travel oman](https://www.girlabouttheglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/IMG_4780-581x718.jpeg)
You can learn more about Oman’s history at the Bait Al Zubair Museum. Oman is ruled by one of the oldest dynasties in the Middle East and displays its cultural heritage within this museum that was opened in 1998. Inside you’ll find weaponry, old costumes, jewellery and coins from the past. It’s an interesting insight into the culture.
Also along the coastline are two of the forts in Oman. Al-Mirani Fort and Al-Jalali Fort are two forts that look out over the Gulf of Oman. Both of these forts were built by the Portuguese in the 16th century.
![tenzing travel oman](https://www.girlabouttheglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/IMG_4696-718x539.jpeg)
One of the biggest Muscat attractions is one of the most important Oman places in the city. The Qaboos Grand Mosque is open to visitors and is free to enter. Inside you’ll find marble courtyards and a women’s and men’s prayer hall. The men’s section has intricate musical art with a Persian carpet that took several years to complete. It really is breathtaking inside and be sure to look up at the giant crystal chandelier. Remember to take your shoes off before entering.
In the evenings, one of the places to visit in Muscat is the stunning Opera House. Located on Sultan Qaboos Street, the Royal Opera House Muscat was the first Opera House in Arabia. Inside it contains the largest mobile pipe organ in the world. You can take tours or watch an opera or a concert. Even the exterior is beautifully lit up at night.
![tenzing travel oman](https://www.girlabouttheglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/IMG_4940-718x538.jpeg)
From Muscat, you can take a day trip to Nizwa. Nizwa is an ancient city that used to be Oman’s capital during the 6th and 7th centuries. The Nizwa Fort is one of the oldest forts in the country and one of the places to see in Oman.
Inside you can learn more about the history of the fort, watch traditional crafts, buy pottery, coffee and dates and climb the steps to the top for a spectacular view of Nizwa. Visit here on a Friday morning and you can witness the cattle market too.
![tenzing travel oman](https://www.girlabouttheglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/IMG_4980-718x539.jpeg)
Jebel Shams
Jebel Shams is Oman’s highest peak. At more than 3000 metres high, it is described as Oman’s Grand Canyon. Jebel Shams is one of the Oman tourist attractions you really shouldn’t miss. You can just visit it for a day or arrange hikes into the canyon, stopping at local villages along the way. If you do a day tour here from Muscat you’ll stop at Al Hambra, an abandoned village which dates back to 400 years old. Some of the locals still live here and you can visit the local museum to find out more.
![tenzing travel oman](https://www.girlabouttheglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/IMG_5075-718x539.jpeg)
Wadi Shab & The Bimmah Sinkhole
If you are travelling onto Sur, you can visit two other Oman famous places that are both reachable on a day tour from Muscat. Wadi Shab and the Bimmah Sinkhole are both stunning.
Wadi Shab is an impressive canyon with crystal clear water that you can swim in. When you arrive at the entrance of the Wadi, you take a short boat ride across the water to begin the hike (less than a minute’s ride!) If you’re brave enough there’s a small gap when you reach the end of the hike that takes you into a beautiful cave. This area is so safe that you can even leave your valuables outside the cave.
![tenzing travel oman](https://www.girlabouttheglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/IMG_5119-718x539.jpeg)
Bimmah Sinkhole
When you see the Bimmah Sinkhole you’re sure to say “wow.” This natural wonder is a 65-foot deep natural sinkhole situated just off the road in between Dihab and Bimmah (hence the name). You can walk down the steps to get there and swim in its waters to cool off from the midday heat. If you’re lucky you may see other swimmers jumping from the cliffs into the sinkhole. The sinkhole resembles a cenote in Mexico.
![tenzing travel oman](https://www.girlabouttheglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/IMG_5202-718x539.jpeg)
Wadi Bani Khalid
Wadi Bani Khalid is another must-see and one of the most beautiful places in Oman. This oasis is dotted with palm trees and it’s easy to see why it’s the most visited wadi in the country. When you’re swimming here you do need to keep your clothes on as swimwear isn’t acceptable. Swim in a t-shirt and leggings if you can as you need to be covered from your neck to your knees. You soon dry off afterwards.
Wadi Bani Khalid is also near Wahiba Sands. This stunning reddish desert is home to Oman’s Bedouin heritage and you can stay overnight in a desert camp or go dune bashing in a 4×4.
If you’re into maritime history, Sur should be on your Oman itinerary. This port city was once famous for dhow-building and you can visit the Dhow factory and see workers building dhows. Even if you’re not a boat lover, it’s worth a visit as it’s only 2 Omani Rials to enter. Like everywhere in Oman, Sur has a charm to it. You can walk along the Sur corniche and admire the murals that the locals create along its wall.
Al Ayjah is a lovely area too. This traditional neighbourhood was once cut off from Sur but is now connected by the suspension bridge. Walk up the steps of the Al Ayjah lighthouse for good views or for an even better vantage point of the surrounding area, the watch tower of Al Ayjah is the perfect place to climb for dusk.
Oman is home to several turtle species and one of the places to see them is at Ras al Jinz Turtle Reserve, visitable from Sur. If you love wildlife this reserve offers turtle viewing at night. July to October is the best time to see the Green Turtle that migrates through this area. Ras Al Jinz beach is renown for watching the nesting process of the turtles and is only a 45 minute drive from Sur.

Everywhere in Oman is stunning but there is something so special about the city of Salalah, the capital of the country’s Dhofar province. Located in the south, this area is the greenest area in the country.
Every year the monsoon turns it into lush terrain meaning that it attracts visitors from the Middle East who come to escape the desert heat and enjoy the cooler temperatures that it offers. It also has a historical significance being home of the Frankincense tree and you can learn more and see one of the trees at the Frankincense Museum.
Just a 35 minute drive from Salalah is Khor Rori. The ancient city of Sumhuram was once part of the Frankincense route and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city overlooks a lagoon and was enclosed by city walls. The ruins date back to the 4th century BC and you can wander around the old city to see the Temple of Sin, one of the important structures here. Take a look inside the museum to see artefacts that were excavated from this region. The entrance fee is 2 Omani Rials.
Because of the monsoon, depending on which time of year you travel here, you can see many waterfalls. Wadi Darbat waterfalls are easy to see any time of the year and are on the way to Darbat. Other waterfalls are Ayn Khor, and Ayn Athum. Darbat Park is near Salalah and is popular on the weekends. You can take a boat ride along the canal of the Wadi Darbat for 3 Omani Rial for a 30 minute ride. On the way to Darbat Park you pass donkeys and goats too!
Being on the coast means that Salalah also has beaches and one of the most popular in the city is A’Dahariz Beach (especially on Fridays). On this beautiful stretch of sandy beach you’ll find coffee shops and restaurants. Walk along the white sands or go horse riding at dusk along the water’s edge. As well as having an abundance of wildlife you can also spot flamingos here too.
Salalah Gardens is a lovely place to spend the evenings. The fountain lights up and you can sit at one of the cafes or restaurants and people watch or venture inside the mall and window shop. Make sure to look at the gold souk which is down a small corridor.
![tenzing travel oman](https://www.girlabouttheglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/IMG_4785-1-718x539.jpeg)
Oman is one of my favourite countries. If you were feeling apprehensive about travelling here, I hope that this guide has reassured you how safe and beautiful this destination is. It really is a mystical place to visit and an ideal starting place for solo female travellers who want to see the Middle East.
Tours in Oman
Unless you have a car and can drive yourself around the sites, taking tours in Oman can be expensive especially if you are solo travelling here and have to book tours for one person. Even though the country is incredibly safe, it can be easier for solos to take group tours especially if you don’t drive. That way you can really explore the country instead of having to take day tours from different cities and travel with like-minded others too.
G Adventures offer group tours to Oman. Their 8-day Highlights of Oman tour starts and ends in Muscat. You stay overnight in the Wahiba Sands and visit the Ras al Jinz Turtle Reserve and Grand Canyon of Oman. The tour is a mix of public and private transport. I have personally used G Adventures and recommend them as a solo female friendly company.

Day Tours – Get Your Guide helps you to find top-rated activities and day tours in Oman and they use local companies. Although some of the tours require a minimum of two people, there are several to choose from where you can join as one person, including a day trip from Muscat to Wadi Shab & the Bimmah Sinkhole, and a Dimaniyat Islands snorkelling tour. Just check the reviews, price and availability then book online.

![tenzing travel oman](https://www.girlabouttheglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/IMG_5499-718x538.jpeg)
Accommodation in Oman
Oman doesn’t really do budget accommodation. You can camp here if you’re here on a budget as it is safe but if you don’t feel comfortable you can choose from one of the hotels instead. Hotels generally have a gym and a pool and some have a sauna and steam room too.
When you book accommodation in Oman, bear in mind that the accommodation prices you see may not reflect the actual price. Several taxes are added to the accommodation so it isn’t the price that it is advertised at. But, the level of accommodation is superb. A 3-star property feels like a 4-star and the hospitality is fantastic here.
In the Middle East, it also seems customary to play music on the floors of the hotel from the morning to the evening. Ask for a room away from the elevator if you are a light sleeper. To find the best accommodation for solos, click on the link below and read the reviews from solo travellers.

Muscat – Citadines Al Ghubrah Muscat
For those looking for an apartment within the capital, the Citadines are an ideal option. I loved the design of this aparthotel and my room had everything I needed including a desk and a kitchenette. The staff are really welcoming and friendly too. There’s a pool and a gym and a good restaurant on site and they also arrange airport transfers. Plus the supermarket is a 10-minute walk away (with an ATM). Tours can pick you up from here. Choose from a studio deluxe, a studio premier or a one-bedroom executive or premier.
- Prices from £92 / $115 per night for a studio deluxe
- To book, check prices or availability for Citadines Al Ghubrah Muscat
Muscat – Swiss-Belinn Muscat Oman
The Swiss-Belinn is a new hotel in Oman. If you don’t have a car, this 3-star hotel is perfect. I love this place, especially the motivational messages around the hotel and in the rooms. The interior design is stunning, the rooms are spacious with lots of light and the view is fab too. There are cafes and restaurants walking distance away and a public beach just 15 minutes on foot. The staff are amazing and the food in the restaurant is fantastic quality. The hotel is nearer the airport than the port. Choose from a superior or deluxe king room or a king room with a sea view. You can even upgrade to a suite.
- Prices from £50 / $63 per night for a deluxe room
- To book, check prices or availability for Swiss-Belinn Muscat Oman
Salalah – Salalah Gardens Hotel
I love this hotel! The customer service is amazing and the hotel is just stunning. Salalah Gardens Hotel is a 4-star hotel in Salalah that is set in its own complex. There’s a large pool with a separate sauna and steam room for women and the breakfast hall is just stunning. Dinner is served in the ‘Waves’ restaurant and there is a supermarket and huge mall just steps away from the hotel. The gardens are beautiful with a colourful fountain at night and you’ll find the ‘Salalah’ sign here too! Choose from a deluxe room or an executive suite
- Prices from £63 / $79 per night for a deluxe room
- To book, check prices or availability for Salalah Gardens Hotel
Sur – Sur Hotel
Sur Hotel is a good hotel centrally located in Sur. The staff here were really welcoming and friendly and even met me from the bus stop when my bus arrived (less than 5 minutes walk away). Reception is open 24 hours and there are restaurants nearby. It is a one-star hotel and the rooms are a bit outdated so don’t expect too much but the staff definitely make up for it.
- To book, check prices or availability for Sur Hotel
Travelling Around Oman
Travelling around Oman is easy if you hire a car but there is public transport if you don’t want to drive yourself around. The infrastructure is good to drive but you may need a 4×4 to drive off-road to certain destinations such as the road to Jebel Shams. You also need to be careful of camels crossing the road in Salalah.
Intercity buses run from Muscat to other cities. You can take the bus from Muscat to Sur in less than 5 hours. Bear in mind that the buses are cold with air-conditioning so take a cardigan or fleece with you on the bus.
Buses leave from Burj Sahwa Bus Station, near the roundabout with the big clock. I took the number 36 bus which left Muscat at 14:30 and arrived in Sur at 18:50. The cost was only 4.50 Omani rial. There are USB chargers on the bus.
From Sur to Muscat my bus was due to leave at 8:30 am but it came at 9 am so expect them to be a bit late. Buses also leave from Mwasalat and then go to Burj Sahwa before heading to Sur.
Orange and white taxis operate in the country and apparently by the port, they will ask you if you need a taxi. They also honk at you if you’re walking along the road so it’s easy to flag one down. For an easier way to use taxis, there is an app called oTaxi. It’s really easy to use (similar to Uber) and it’s also cheap. You can’t use it from a 4 or 5-star hotel as they expect you to use the hotel taxi instead.
![tenzing travel oman](https://www.girlabouttheglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/FAQs-3-718x288.jpg)
- Can I drink the water? Yes, it’s drinkable but you may prefer to take a water filter with you.
- Is tipping expected? Tipping is always appreciated here. The customer service and hospitality are amazing. Tip at least 10% if you can.
- Fixed price or barter? You can barter in the souks.
- Any ATMs? Yes, you’ll find them in the main areas such as Muscat, Salalah and Sur. Look for them at the banks and supermarkets.
- Which side of the road do they drive? The right-hand side.
- Good for vegetarians? Yes. You can find vegetarian restaurants in Muscat, Sohar, Salalah and Sur. Muscat has the greatest number of vegetarian restaurants .
- Any Seven Wonders of the World? No, but Oman has stunning places to visit!

- Avontuurlijk Oman
De meeste mensen denken bij Oman vooral aan de woestijn, maar onze reizigers Lianne en Michel ontdekten dat het Sultanaat nog veel meer te bieden heeft. Ze vertellen over hun reis door prachtige gebergtes, authentieke steden, de woestijn en Ras al Jinz, waar ze op zoek gingen naar groene reuzenschildpadden.
Als je aan Tanzania en Kenia denkt, dan denk je al snel aan de Grote Trek, ook wel de migratie genoemd. Een indrukwekkend schouwspel van zo'n 2 miljoen wildebeesten, zebra's en gazellen die zich tegelijkertijd over de uitgestrekte vlaktes verplaatsen. Wil je weten hoe de migratie precies werkt en hoe je de kans vergroot op het zien van dit unieke spektakel? Reisspecialist Lody zocht het voor je uit!
Met de 4-WD door het Hajar-gebergte
Met de 4-WD rijden we de Wadi Bani Awf in; hier begint onze avontuurlijke tocht over het Hajar-gebergte. Na een tijdje stopt de verharde weg en gaan we off road. De weg omhoog gaat over gravel en zand, het is meteen duidelijk waarom een 4-WD een vereiste is bij een rondreis door Oman! We stoppen bij de Snake Canyon, waar de hoge rotswanden ons nietig doen voelen. Als we een stuk de kloof in zijn gelopen, komen we een jong herdertje met een kudde geiten tegen. Prachtig! Daarna vervolgen we onze weg: er volgen er meer diepe afgronden, haarspeldbochten en steile beklimmingen en afdalingen. Na een tocht die de hele middag in beslag neemt, staan we dan toch op het hoogste punt. Het zicht over het Hajar-gebergte op deze hoogte is subliem en adembenemend. Deze tocht is niet voor watjes, maar oh zo mooi!
![tenzing travel oman Hajar-gebergte](https://media.travelnauts.nl/wordpress/fullwebp/oman-hajar-gebergte-reizigers-bosch.webp)
Het dorpse leven in de omgeving van Nizwa
De komende dagen verblijven we in Nizwa en bezoeken we een aantal plekken in de omgeving. Zo zien we in het dorpje Al Ayn de eeuwenoude beehive tombs , eeuwenoude graftombes in de vorm van bijenkorven. Gelegen tegen de dramatische achtergrond van het Hajar-gebergte vormt het een prachtig plaatje. Ook bezoeken we verschillende dorpjes, zoals Al Hamra en Birkat Al Mawz, waar we kennis maken met het eenvoudige dorpse leven en de vriendelijke bewoners. Overal stoppen we voor een met kardemom gekruid kopje koffie en wat zoete dadels. Haasten doen we niet, in Oman neem je de tijd.
![tenzing travel oman De 'beehive tombs' in Al Ayn](https://media.travelnauts.nl/wordpress/fullwebp/oman-al-ayn-beehives-reizigers-bosch.webp)
De geitenmarkt in Nizwa, een prachtig schouwspel
In Nizwa zelf is ons bezoek aan de wekelijkse geitenmarkt (alleen op vrijdag) het hoogtepunt. We gaan vroeg ons bed uit en staan nog voor 7 uur ’s ochtends op de markt. Bedoeïenen uit de omgeving lopen rondjes met geiten, klaar om ze te verhandelen. Er wordt aan de beestjes gevoeld, er worden gebitten bekeken en er wordt druk onderhandeld over de prijs. De mannen met verweerde gezichten lopen er in dishdashas (hagelwitte gewaden) en met tulbanden op, de kleine jongens volgen hun voorbeeld. De bedoeïenenvrouwen dragen hun snavelmaskers. Het geheel vormt een prachtig schouwspel. Deze authentieke markt is een must tijdens een reis door Oman.
![tenzing travel oman Geitenmarkt in Nizwa](https://media.travelnauts.nl/wordpress/fullwebp/oman-nizwa-geitenmarkt-locals-reizigers-bosch.webp)
Avontuurlijke tocht in de Jebel Akhdar
Na een aantal ‘rustige’ dagen is het tijd voor een nieuwe avontuurlijke onderneming: de Balcony Walk. Dit is een bekende wandeltocht over de Jebel Shams, onderdeel van het bergmassief Jebel Akhdar. Het startpunt wordt aangegeven door witte, rode en gele verfstrepen op een stel rotsblokken. We lopen over een smalle richel zonder afrasteringen en kijken uit op de Wadi Nakhr, die duizelingwekkend diep blijkt te zijn. Door de toppen van wel 3000 meter en spectaculaire kloven wordt dit ook wel de Grand Canyon van Oman genoemd. Het is een prachtige tocht en zonder twijfel een hoogtepunt van onze reis.
![tenzing travel oman Reiziger Michel bij de Jebel Akhdar](https://media.travelnauts.nl/wordpress/fullwebp/oman-jebel-akhdar-reizigers-bosch.webp)
A room with a view in het Alila Jebel Akhdar hotel
Na dit avontuur komen we bij in het Alila Jebel Akhdar, wat ook in de Jebel Akhdar is gelegen. Het is een prachtig hotel dat helemaal opgaat in de natuur. We verblijven in een suite met uitzicht op de bergen, een regendouche en natuurstenen bad. Het handgeschreven welkomstkaartje maakt het helemaal af. We zwemmen er in de infinity pool en genieten van de waanzinnige zonsondergang. Alleen al een verblijf in dit luxe hotel is een reis naar Oman waard!
![tenzing travel oman Alila Jebel Akhdar](https://media.travelnauts.nl/wordpress/fullwebp/oman-jebel-akhdar-alila-reizigers-bosch.webp)
Crossen door de woestijn
We vervolgen onze weg, richting Ras al Jinz. Onderweg stoppen we nog in het dorp al Wasil, het startpunt voor ons bezoek aan de woestijn van Sharqiya Sands. In een van de woestijnkampen drinken we een kopje thee en worden dan blij verrast door een onverwacht aanbod: of we willen dunebashen ? Daar zeggen we geen nee tegen! In een grote Landcruiser crossen we met de eigenaar van het kamp door het zand. Onderweg zien we het landschap dat we bij Oman verwacht hadden: zand, woestijn en rode duinen. Op de hoogste duin stappen we uit en schieten een aantal foto’s. Onverwachte momenten zoals deze maken reizen zo leuk!
![tenzing travel oman Reizigers Lianne en Michel in Sharqiya Sands](https://media.travelnauts.nl/wordpress/fullwebp/oman-sharqiya-sands-reizigers-bosch.webp)
Schildpadden spotten in Ras al Jinz
Aan het einde van deze dag vol indrukken komen we in Ras al Jinz aan, dat bekend staat om de groene reuzenschildpadden die er ’s nachts hun eieren leggen. Die avond begeven we ons dan ook naar het strand. Na een uitgebreide uitleg over wat wel en niet mag (er is veel respect voor de dieren) is het dan zover: op zoek naar de schildpadden! En we hebben geluk, we zien er twee hun nest dichtgooien en terugkeren naar zee. Magische momenten! De tour van de volgende ochtend is echter nog indrukwekkender. Terwijl iedereen nog slaapt (we zijn slechts met tien vroege vogels, de echte natuurliefhebbers), zien we nog een schildpad haar nest vol zand gooien en richting de zee trekken. Net op tijd voor de zonsopgang, waar wij zelf even later nog van genieten voordat we weer verder reizen.
