Oman Tours & Vacations

Wide view of the Grand Mosque in Muscat, Oman, with mountains in background

Less affluent than many of its oil-rich and decidedly showy neighbors, Oman’s modern development has been comparatively slow-paced with a laidback affability the country’s pay-off.

Crumbling Portuguese forts and tranquil fishing villages line the coast’s secluded shorelines, magnificent desert dunes and oases mottle the interior and traditionally garbed Bedouins can be spied drifting through the spice-filled souqs. Best of all, with their chunk of the Arabian Gulf having long served as a stopover point to centuries of merchant traders and explorers, the Omanis make for consummate hosts, ever keen to show off their country’s wares.

Best time to visit oman.

When it comes to the country’s weather, Oman is often divided into two regions – north and south – to account for two very different climates. Mid October to mid-March, when the weather is pleasantly warm, the mountain scenery clear and the rains light, is the best time to visit the more crowd-drawing north. Throughout the remainder of the year, the heat and humidity can be really quite oppressive – particularly along the coast. This being said, southern Oman receives some respite during the khareef (the monsoon that lasts from mid-May to mid-August) that transforms Dhofar (the local name for the south) into a stunning plot of greenery.

History and government

Early history.

Oman’s colossal history (archaeological evidence suggests that parts of the country have been inhabited since the Stone Age) tracks from eras of remarkable prosperity and regional influence to self-imposed isolation, civil strife, foreign occupation and pretty much everything in between.  From as far back as 5000 BC, the land amassed great wealth due to its trade in frankincense, myrrh and, later on, copper. With this wealth, however, came foreign interest, and between the 6th century BC and the 7th century AD the country fell under the control of three Persian dynasties – the Achaemenids, Parthians and Sassanids – before becoming totally enamored with Islam. Introduced by Amr ibn al-As, a disciple of the Prophet Mohammed, the faith flourished under the Bani Nabhan dynasty for 500 years.

Recent History

At the beginning of the 16th century, keen to exploit the disunity that had spread through the country and expand their own trade routes, the Portuguese arrived. Largely content with commanding coastal sentry points and building forts (many of which still stand), they made few ventures into the interior and, as a result, were eventually ousted by conspiring inland tribes. Oman then challenged the Portuguese in East Africa and West Asia and gained numerous coastal forts and a foothold in the lucrative slave and spice trades. This allowed Oman to rebuild its wealth to great success. The Al Said dynasty assumed power in 1749 and, despite centuries of interfamilial squabbling, still holds it today.  In July 1970, having ousted his father from power in a bloodless coup, Qaboos bin Said al Said dismissed the conservative isolationist policies that had characterized his father’s rule and set the country on course for modernization and economic reform. Oman’s society has since found a balance of having a deep respect for tradition, a practical regard for technological progress and enviable health care and education systems.

Top 5 Omani souvenirs

Like the rest of the Arabian Gulf, coffee drinking is an integral part of everyday life in Oman. Notably thicker and spicier than the typical western blend, this refreshment is always offered to guests upon arrival and customarily served in graceful, long-bodied pots called dallahs. Traditionally fashioned from silver in Nizwa, bronze models are more standard these days, though no less elegant. Some really old dallahs also contain small pebbles inside the lid, which both announce the boiling of water and alert company to anyone lifting the lid to add poison! Bring back one of these as the perfect kitchen addition for those who regularly suspect their friends of plotting to kill them.

Ever had dinner guests who have stayed on long after you want to go to bed? If so, you may also like to acquire yourself an Omani incense burner – or majmar. Ornately carved silver orbs used primarily for burning frankincense, a majmar is produced when the final round of coffee has been served and – rather unsubtly – wafted around a guest’s body to signal that their departure is desired. Think of it as the equivalent of yawning loudly and saying: ‘so, should I call you a cab then?’

3. Khanjars

In times past, when it was forbidden for Omani men to wear jewelry, the shrewd among them got around this by taking to having their weaponry decorated. The result is khanjar, the curved silver daggers that now stand as the nation’s most iconic emblem. Featured on both the national flag and the one rial note, khanjars are these days mostly worn at symbolic occasions. Unsheathing it does still signify that you are seeking revenge or would like to assassinate somebody however - so don’t just whip it out to spread the garlic sauce more evenly across your kebab.

4. Henna tattoo

Henna tattooing is common among Omani women and can make for some very beautiful – and temporary – bodily decoration. The designs generally fade after five days or so, though make sure you go to a reputable artist who uses a traditional henna recipe. Some modern hennas have had chemicals and dyes added to hasten the drying process, which can result in stinging, scarring and even health risks. Be particularly wary of black henna.

5. Frankincense

If it was a good enough gift for baby Jesus, it should be good enough for Aunt Mildred.

The 6 Best Oman Tours For Unforgettable Adventures That Are Achievable & Affordable

Expert travel storyteller Jordan Adkins, founder of InspiredByMaps.com, brings a decade of adventures across 101 countries and 450+ UNESCO sites into rich, off-the-beaten-path narratives, melding ecological expertise with genuine, seasoned travel insights. His full bio can be found here.

Oman is a Middle Eastern country located on the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula and is bordered to the northwest by the United Arab Emirates, to the west by Saudi Arabia, and the southwest by Yemen.

This is not your usual country, and you will see why we say so as we dive deeper into the article. We will talk about the six best tours to discover the best of Oman easily, but before that, let’s get a glimpse of auspicious Oman. 

A bit about its diverse landscape and natural beauty: Oman has unbelievable natural treasures ranging from the rugged Hajar Mountains in the north to the rolling dunes of the Empty Quarter in the south to its very diverse bird collection that seems to have come from three different continents, Europe, Asia, and Africa. It is a secret paradise for bird lovers and watchers looking for new species now and then. 

But one of its best natural treasures is undoubtedly its people; Omanis are one of the most peaceful people in the world, and this is evident in the silent nature of most cities in the country, if not all of them. Do not be surprised when you are greeted with a bowl of fresh dates and an archy smile upon your arrival at your hotel.

Unlike many other Arab countries, Oman is gifted with miles of pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and dramatic desert landscapes. It is like a perfect combination of the dunes of Dubai, the marvelous beaches of Mexico and the giant mountains of Japan. That’s a full package and even more! 

In its capital city of Muscat, you will find charming Old Towns, with winding alleys and historic buildings, as well as a bustling market that sells everything from spices and textiles to gold and silver jewelry. 

One of Oman’s most famous attractions that you will find so interesting and soothing to watch is the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in the heart of its capital city. This mosque is one of the largest in the world, with a capacity of over 20,000 worshippers. Well, this, to some extent, is not a surprise for a country that has 85% of its 5 million population as Muslims. 

With all that we have said so far, we have not yet touched the history and culture of Oman. This ship-makers country is believed to have been one of the oldest habitats of mankind, with archaeological proof dating 100,000 years ago.

Yep, didn’t we tell you this is not your usual country? You can explore the city’s many museums and art galleries, including the Bait Al Zubair Museum and the Oman National Museum, to learn more about the history of the country in much detail. 

And we can go on and on and on… 

But we will leave the rest for your discovery and encounter. How about that? 

For now, let’s tell you the biggest secret sauce to getting the most out of your trip to this tranquil country. The best way to get Oman’s deepest and most authentic experiences is to get on a group tour with friends and family, a partner, or even alone. 

Experienced tour guides will lead your way to the best places, eventually giving you the best experiences you might have missed otherwise. From trouble-free preparations to comfortable explorations with your highly knowledgeable guides leading the way, you will surely have an epic time in Oman. 

Without further ado, here are the six best tours to discover Oman with ease.

One of the highlights of your trip will be a visit to the Grand Mosque, located at the heart of the capital city, where you will witness the breathtaking beauty of this architectural marvel. Modesty is mandatory for everyone who visits the mosque, so men must wear long pants and shirts that cover their shoulders.

Women must be fully covered, including their heads, arms, and legs, and the dressing must not be tight, revealing the figure.

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt im Oman, obwohl das Wetter nicht so gut war und einige Stätten aufgrund des starken Regens nicht zugänglich waren. Unser Guide Yacoob war hervorragend und hatte immer Alternativen bereit, so dass wir trotzdem viel vom Oman gesehen haben. Speziell der Aufenthalt in der Wüste war sehr eindrucksvoll. Die Unterkünfte und das Essen haben keine Wünsche offen gelassen. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder in den Oman mit seinen freundlichen Menschen und beeindruckenden Naturlandschaften.

Highlights of Oman

Had a good time saw lots.. our guide Qais was very knowledgeable when asked questions, the transportation was comfortable, as were the accommodations. I think Hisham will make a very good and personable guide. I very much enjoyed Oman.

Incredible Oman Tour

Incredible Oman

I went on this adventure with my best friend in February this year and it was amazing! We absolutely loved it. Our guide, Abdulaziz was beyond knowledgeable and took so much time answering all of our group‘s questions and explaining a lot about the history of Oman. It is such a wonderful adventure because you experience so many different sceneries - From strolling through Muscat city, on to Wadi Shab and sleeping in the desert, Misfat Al abriyeen (a village in the mountains) etc. I honestly can only recommend this adventure to anyone that visits Oman, we would 100% do it again.

Excellent guide Hussein. 60 % of the positive expérience of the tour. In general I was satisfy by the tour. Well organized. Probably too short though to cover well the destination. Fortunately I extend alone 3 more nights in Muscat at the end. The negative points were: 1. too long answers to my questions before my decision to take prt on the program. it made me in the position of booking the flights at the last minute, increasing my costs. 2. The fact that I wasn not informed in advance that I joined a group that have already made the UAE tour before mine only on Oman. 3. The bus used was much too old with no suffisant climation at 35C.

Mountains, Deserts and Coast of Oman Tour

Mountains, Deserts and Coast of Oman

This tour is a good way to see Oman beyond Muscat. Lots of time in cars, but some of this, such as driving through the desert and the canyon are part of the experience - it isn't just let's drive from A to B. There was downtime/own exploring time built in which was great as you can take advantage of the beaches or pools at the different locations - very welcome as it was so hot!

Treasures of Oman 6 Days – Oman Tour Package Tour

Treasures of Oman 6 Days – Oman Tour Package

We really enjoyed the trip overall. We saw and experienced a lot and could ask the guides anything we wanted. They were very eager and flexible to meet our needs. We had two different guides for each of the three days. With the first one we had to organize and pay for all entrance fees and drinks ourselves. This is contrary to the agreed terms. We have spent so total safe again 55 Rial extra. The program was not really known to both guides and it was sometimes positive and sometimes negative deviated from it. So we had no Dune bashing and had to pay for the Dolphin watching (which was not organized at all) and the Camel ride. The trip was not planned wisely. For example, we arrived at the market in Nizwa when everything was over. The short city tour in Muscat on Saturday did not take place at all. Thus we never saw the big mosque. This would have been one of our highlights, which we really wanted to see! The second guide was much better educated, explained more and could answer our questions precisely. Thus, we learned much more about the country and its people. We learned from this that it is not good to book a trip through two agencies involved. We also advise against changing guides during such a short trip.

We had a great time on the Pearl of Arabia tour. The tour contained a good mix between culture, nature, landscape and sights. Our guide and driver Said showed us the best spots and took us to the most delicious restaurants. He gave us detailed information about the country, culture, cities and the sights. It was a very pleasant tour with Said with nice experiences. We can highly recommend the tour for everybody that likes pre-booked tours and want to explore Oman.

What people love about fully guided tours in oman.

If you only have a few days to discover Northern Oman, it is a great choice. You'll see many parts of the country, let it be the 400 years old towns, desert with high dunes, or swimming with sea turtles in their natural habitat. Special thanks to our private guide, Aziz, who was a very nice travel partner for the last days! He knows everything about the country and its culture.
The Highlights of Oman tour was a perfect combination of beautiful landscapes, historic sites and cultural insights. Our tour leader was excellent and very knowledgeable.

A small group tour to Oman is the best way of combining breathtaking natural beauty with a well-preserved cultural heritage. Peaceful and tranquil, Oman occupies the south-eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula, where it has long been an important gateway for trade between Africa and Asia. Our group tours and adventure holidays in Oman are one of the best ways to explore what is arguably the Middle East’s most underrated destination.

A land of ancient seafarers and home to the legendary Sinbad, historically Oman was closed off to the outside world and, even today still exudes a captivating aura of myth and mystery. A compelling blend of the old and the new, its impeccably maintained capital, Muscat, combines traditional Arabic and Islamic styles with ancient fortifications and architectural treasures that sets it apart from many other oil-rich modern cities in the Middle East.

Outside the cities, visitors can immerse themselves in Oman’s spectacular desert scenery, riddled with rugged mountains, hidden oases and a coastline of quite staggering beauty. Perhaps surprisingly, Oman is home to the world’s largest population of loggerhead turtles and the endangered green turtle.

Heading north, travellers might be surprised to come across fjord-like enclaves of the Musandam Peninsula, a small area separated from the main body of Oman by the UAE. Towards the east sits the ancient town of Nizwa, once the capital of the Imamate of Oman which grew rich from its position on the nearby trade routes. Nizwa Fort, an impressive 17th-century fortification, dominates the town and is definitely worth a visit.

To the south, beyond the Qara Mountains, lies the city of Salalah, a surprisingly lush Eden, whose waterfalls and frankincense trees benefit from the annual fruits of the monsoon rains. In a country that is 80% desert, Salalah is a real treat and every trip to Oman is completed by the hospitality of its welcoming people, who are visibly proud of their unique country.

Today, Oman enjoys a reputation as a forward-thinking Arabic country with luxury hotels and a stable government, but it still manages to retain much of its old desert traditions and proud history – something we endeavour to showcase on all of our Oman tours or Tailor-Made  Oman holidays

SUGGESTED ITINERARIES

Highlights of oman, best experiences.

Surf the dunes on 4WD at sunset

Surf the dunes on 4WD at sunset

The Empty Quarter offers the iconic rolling dunes you'd expect of the desert. For those who like to get the adrenalin pumping, take your 4WD 'off-road' and surf the sand until you find your own isolated spot to enjoy the setting sun over the dunes.

Seek out dolphins in Muscat Bay

Seek out dolphins in Muscat Bay

You will hopefully see some of the many dolphins that live in and around Muscat Bay during a morning boat tour where it’s possible to see spinner, bottlenose and common dolphins. Then travel to Bandar Khiran bay, one of the best snorkeling spots in Oman.

Enjoy a homecooked meal with locals

Enjoy a homecooked meal with locals

Connect with local Omanis through the most ancient of pastimes, eating! Be welcomed into the home of a Muscat local for a delicious homecooked meal and cultural exchange experience. This supports families who wish to show visitors daily Omani life.

Camp under the stars

Camp under the stars

One of the country’s most isolated desert areas where majestic wind-blown dunes tower above the desert floor and the sun turns them a multitude of ever changing hues. This is a fantastic place to go to camp in the silent beauty of the desert.

Experience Wadi Ghul

Experience Wadi Ghul

Wadi Ghul, located at Jebel Shams, is colloquially known as 'Oman's Grand Canyon' and for very good reason. The 1000m sheer drops are not for the faint of heart, but those okay with heights will be rewarded with breathtaking views and truly memorable walks.

Discover the mysteries of Bahla Fort

Discover the mysteries of Bahla Fort

Believed to be the home of genies, Bahla is steeped in legend and witchcraft. The UNESCO World Heritage Site is set within the oasis town of Bahla, flanked by high mountains, and was built by the Banu Nebhan tribe in the 12th century.

Admire the Hajar Mountains

Admire the Hajar Mountains

Rising over 2000 metres above the surrounding countryside, the Hajar Mountains hide within them a rugged network of wadi channels that have carved an array of dramatic canyons and caves, some of which have cliff dwellings along the canyon rim.

Discover a beautiful desert oasis

Discover a beautiful desert oasis

A short drive from the heart of the desert brings you to Wadi Bani Khalid. A picture perfect oasis located in a canyon, surrounded by date palms and crystal clear natural swimming pools. Have a wander or do some canyonning if you're feeling more adventurous.

Discover the Lost City of Ubar

Discover the Lost City of Ubar

Visit the 'Atlantis of the Desert' that caught the attention of great explorers like Betram, Lawrence and Thesinger. There is not a great deal to see here, but the reality of being able to visit a place so shrouded in mystery makes it quite an exciting visit.

USEFUL INFORMATION

Health and Vaccinations  

  There are no mandatory immunisations for travellers to Oman though you should be up-to-date with Typhoid, Tetanus, Polio and Hepatitis A. We recommend you seek advice from your local GP or travel centre as to the correct immunisations and preventative treatments. 

  Currency  

In Oman the official unit of currency is the Omani Rial (OMR). 

To check out the latest exchange rate for the places that you are visiting you can go to www.oanda.com . 

Cultural Sensitivity  

  On our tours you will frequently interact with local people, each with their own distinct customs and traditions. We therefore ask you to be considerate and to treat them with respect. Your tour-leaders and guides will always be able to advise you accordingly.  

Oman is a Muslim country, and it is important that, as guests of the country, we respect the local customs. When in Muscat we will visit the grand mosque of Sultan Quaboos. While at the mosque, both ladies and gentlemen will need to dress conservatively. Ladies will need to cover their heads with a scarf and wear a loose fitting, long sleeved shirt that covers arms as well as long skirt or trousers. Gentlemen are asked to wear a long-sleeved collared shirt with long trousers.  

Language & Religion  

Arabic is the official language of Oman, and English and Asian languages such as Hindi, Urdu, and Baluchi are also widely spoken. Swahili is spoken by some, a legacy of Oman´s former East African presence. English is widely used in business. 

  Islam is the official religion, although other religions are tolerated under the country´s Basic Law. Muslims make up 86 percent of the population. Three-fourths of the Muslims are Ibadis, a minority sect dating from the 8th century. Most of the remainder adhere to Sunni Islam and the rest to Shia Islam. Indian Hindus account for 13 percent of the population. There are also small numbers of non-Omani Christians. 

Time  

Oman is 4 hours ahead of GMT. 

A useful website to check the time zone differences is www.worldtimezone.com .   

Food and drink  

The food is mainly Arabic, Lebanese, Turkish, and Indian. Many Omanis make a distinction between "Arabic" food and "Omani" food, with the former being the description of the standard dishes found throughout the Arabian Peninsula.  

Omani food tends to be less spicy and served in quite large portions - whole fish are not uncommon at lunch in some local restaurants. As benefits of a country with a long coastline, seafood is quite a common dish, particularly shark, which is surprisingly tasty.  

Travelling Solo In Oman

All of our   small group tours   are designed to cater for   solo travellers : the number of solo travellers will vary from tour to tour, but usually over half will be travelling alone. Get all of the excitement of discovering new places combined with the security of travelling with an organised group, with like minded people.

Ancient history combines with memorable landscapes

A country of volcanic mountain ranges, shifting golden deserts, cities that span centuries, breathtaking fjords and beautiful waterfalls – Oman is a truly memorable destination. One of the oldest human-inhabited places on Earth, the country offers a fascinating combination of ancient history, incredible landscapes, mesmerising wildlife and welcoming people.

The country’s port capital of Muscat has a blend of historic buildings and modern architecture, combined with vibrant souks as well as numerous mosques and ancient sites. In the north of Oman, the ancient city of Nizwa is another highlight if you are interested in history, and the Hajar Mountains in the northeast are fantastic for hiking and discovering some of the country’s endemic wildlife.  

The quaint fishing town of Salalah not only invites you to while away the days on sun-toasted sands, but also explore the surrounding mountains and learn about the frankincense trade and how it shaped the region. It’s also the perfect departure point for exploring the astounding ‘empty quarter’ – Rub al Khali. The ever-changing desert is a photographer’s dream as the light shifts through the day and into night.

Cut off from the rest of the country by the United Arab Emirates, the Musandam Peninsula may not be as popular as the rest of Oman, but is one of the most beautiful regions. Cruise along the stunning fjords past towering cliffs, explore Khasab Fort and visit small villages. 

Head away from the towns and cities into the Wahiba Sands for a truly memorable experience of Bedouin life. A few nights in a desert camp reward you with astounding night skies and wholesome Omani cuisine. 

And finally, at Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve you can have the opportunity to observe the fascinating nesting behaviours of endangered turtles, knowing that your visit is helping to preserve them for future generations.

See the second largest hand-woven carpet in the world at the impressive Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Muscat .

Visit the petroglyphs and follow the serpentine tracks of Wadi Bani Awf valley to discover the beauty of the Hajar Mountains .

Spend a full day aboard a traditional Omani wooden dhow in Salalah , getting to know the underwater world of the Indian Ocean while snorkelling.
