Oman Tours & Vacations
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.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards
From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).
However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.
Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.
Is tipping customary in Oman?
Many restaurants will add a service charge, though tipping beyond that is rarely expected. For exceptional service however, a 5% gratuity will be favourably received.
What is the internet access like in Oman?
Major Omani cities tend to have a handful of internet cafes, and Wi-Fi is becoming available in many cafes and public places.
Can I use my cell phone while in Oman?
Cell roaming connections are in place with many international phone companies, though coverage isn’t all that reliable in rural areas.
What are the toilets like in Oman?
Squat toilets are the norm throughout Oman, though Western-style toilets can often also be found in shopping centres, hotels and restaurants. Toilet paper is rarely provided, however, so keep your own supply handy. Hand sanitizer is also a good idea, as soap won’t always be at the sink.
What will it cost for a...?
Can of coke = USD 0.50 Cappuccino = USD 3.50 Meal at an inexpensive restaurant = USD 4 Meal for two at a mid-range restaurant = USD 23
Can I drink the water in Oman?
The tap water in Oman (desalinated) is considered safe to drink, though bottled water is safer. If you don’t like the idea of drinking the tap water, we’d advise bringing water purification tablets or asking your leader where filtered water can be found so as to cut down on unnecessary landfill.
Are credit cards accepted widely in Oman?
The major credit card brands are commonly accepted in substantial hotels and restaurants.
Do I need to purchase travel insurance before traveling?
Absolutely. All passengers traveling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

Best Time to Visit OMAN
Your weather guide to pick the best season for your tour..
Season : January and February is “winter” in Oman, and is usually considered the best time to visit. The weather around Muscat can be comfortably crisp and sunny, while the temperatures down south near Salalah are pleasantly warm, with clear skies and calm seas.
Rainfall : Rain is possible in the north these months, but occurs only rarely with less than 1 inch per month and lots of sunny days in between. However, rain is almost unheard of this time of year in the south.
Availability : January and February are peak travel months! Make sure you book a few months in advance to get preferred accommodations.
Season : Apart from Spring Break, March and April are considered a shoulder season as temperatures and humidity begin to slowly climb up, and crowds diminish.
Rainfall : Rain is possible in the north, but unlikely, with just over half an inch per month. Sunny weather can be expected every day in the south.
Availability : Apart from Spring break week (in both Europe and America), this is a wonderful time to see Oman while the weather is comfortable, rooms are at a reduced price, and most sites are uncrowded.
Keep in mind : If you want to observe the rose harvest, and rosewater distillation process in Jebel Akhdar, the last few weeks of April are usually the best time to come.
Season : Oman is mostly desert, so it makes sense that the summers are warm! Up north around Muscat and Musandam, the temperatures soar well-above what most consider comfortable, humidity is high, and crowds disappear. Down south, however, summer is an entirely different experience, as mists from the sea transform the rolling hills into something more akin to Ireland than what most imagine to be Arabia. Expect lush, dripping foliage, a fair amount of mud, and amazing springs and waterfalls. Tourists from many countries come to experience the season which means festivals and other activities abound .
Rainfall : There is the chance of rainfall in May in the areas surrounding Muscat, but almost no chance of rain at all in June or July. If you’re traveling south though, expect wet weather from the end of June to about mid August.
Availability : With the sweltering heat, you can pretty much guarantee there will always be space in the hotels up north, and at the best prices you will find all year. However, over half a million travelers (mostly from Oman and surrounding countries) descend on Salalah Jun-August each year to experience the cooler weather, and green landscape, so book early if you want to come south this season.
Keep in mind : If you choose to take advantage of the summer prices up north, be sure to practice good hydration and sun protection.
Season : September and October are considered a shoulder season as temperatures begin to slowly cool down up north, and the weather dries up down south.
Rainfall : Rain is almost unheard of this time of year across the country.
Availability : This is a wonderful time to see Oman while the weather is comfortable, rooms are at a reduced price, and most sites are uncrowded.
Keep in mind : If you want to see any of the 500 bird species spotted in Oman, October is one of the best times to see many species on migration.
Season : The weather this time of year is comfortably warm, and dry across the country, and nights can get a bit chilly in the desert, and mountains.
Rainfall : Wet weather is very unlikely, though possible, as less than half an inch per month of rain lands on Oman this time of year.
Availability : This can be a busier in time to visit Oman, especially during holidays at the end of November and December. Be sure to book early to ensure you get your preferred accommodations.

- Packing Info
- What to Wear
- Food Allergies
- Plugs & Outlets
Pack travel documents and any medication you take. We suggest packing comfortable outfits that are ideal for walking around and sightseeing. You will also want to bring one or two nicer outfits for dinners out, or at your hotel. Pack comfortable walking shoes and a swimming suit. Winter specific: Bring a light jacket, long underwear, layering clothes, a scarf and warms socks for deserts and mountains. Summer specific: Bring light clothing, sunglasses and sandals.
Read our full packing list on the 3 Things to Pack for Your Trip to Oman blog post for our more detailed itemized packing recommendations.
You are visiting a land and culture where the people place great stress on modesty, particularly in the way women dress. While they are accustomed to many types of visitors, we would desire that your sensitivity and modesty would result in an enhanced level of acceptance and better communication with the people in whose land you are to be a guest.
For women, we recommend you avoid revealing or sleeveless tops. We also recommend you bring the option of loose, longer-than-the-knee pants or skirts. For men we recommend a few collared shirts and some long pants be included.
The easiest way to get local currency is to bring a bank card and withdraw cash as needed. You will be able to find Banks and ATMs in every major city. Oman is a partly cash-based society. Hotels, larger restaurants, supermarkets, and some more touristy businesses in Oman’s main tourist cities will accept major credit cards, but most smaller stores do not.
We recommend that you keep a ready supply of cash, including small change for taxi fare when desired and miscellaneous tipping on hand during your stay in Oman. If you do pay by credit card, we recommend that you double check the receipt before signing, as working in an unfamiliar currency can allow you to be charged more than you may expect, either intentionally or inadvertently.
Please let us know if you have any allergies or dietary restrictions! We will do our best to serve you and will certainly communicate your dietary needs to your driver and hotels. However, we also want you to be aware of a few things:
- We have no control over “traces” of nuts or any other allergens in containers, or bags, or kitchens.
- Oman has good food standards, but they are not the same as the United States, or European countries.
- If you have a member of your tour who has a serious condition, you may want to bring food with you based on the seriousness of the allergies.
- We also have no control over what insects you may come into contact with.
Be sure to exercise appropriate caution if you are in any circumstances that may affect your allergies.
Please let us know if you have any allergies or dietary restrictions! Here is helpful information for vegans and vegetarians . We will do our best to serve you and will certainly communicate this to your driver and hotels. However, we also want you to be aware of a few things. We have no control over “traces” of nuts or any other allergens in containers, or bags, or kitchens. Morocco does not have the same food standards as the United States and other countries. If you have a member of your tour who has a serious condition, you may want to bring food with you based on the seriousness of the allergies. We also have no control over what insects you may come into contact with. If you are in any questionable circumstances, you will want to be extra careful.
There is a difference between a tour guide, and a driver in Oman. Tour guides are licensed to give historical and cultural tours of Oman while drivers simply get you where you need to go! For our tours, however, your driver will also act as your guide throughout Oman. All our excellent drivers are licensed by the Oman Ministry of Tourism for guiding services. They act as your personal cultural ambassador and are very knowledgeable about the sights and history of the country. All of the drivers that we work with speak English, and will be able to communicate well with you. Please let us know if you need a driver to speak another language, as some options are available.
Coming to Oman during Ramadan will affect your trip. There will be less options for restaurants during lunch, as most restaurants are closed during the day. Alcohol will not be served. Shops will open up later in the day with people sleeping later after staying up to break the fast. While tourists are not expected to fast, eating and drinking in public is illegal in Oman during Ramadan. Non-Muslim guests can enjoy meals in their hotels, in certain restaurants, or out in nature away from the view of local people. For more about how Ramadan affects your tour, read our post about travel to Oman during Ramadan.
Oman uses the UK 3-pin electrical sockets (Type G) and outlets are 220–240 volts, so be sure to pack the necessary plug adaptors for your mobile phone, camera, laptop, or any other electronics you may travel with.
PLEASE NOTE: Travel plug adapters do not change the voltage, so the electricity coming through the adapter will still be the same 220-240 volts the socket is supplying. North American sockets supply electricity at between 110 and 120 volts, far lower than in most of the rest of the world. This being the case, North American appliances are generally built for 110-120 volts. That doesn’t mean that your specific appliance isn’t already compatible with the higher voltage or that you won’t be able to use your appliance in Oman…you will just need to make sure that your appliance will be able to facilitate 220-240 volts and that you have the appropriate adapter plug.

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

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.

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.

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.
Incredible Oman
We really enjoyed our tour with GidOman. The city tour with Salim was very interesting but disappointingly was only a half day tour. We then had 3 days with Aziz which were truly unforgettable, Aziz went out of his way to ensure we had a good time. The first day we visited the Bimmah Sinkhole, hiked and swam in Wadi Shab (here Aziz made sure we were safe and helped us over the slippery tricky parts when on the water part of the hike), took us to a fabulous camp in the desert where we went on a dune drive and watched the sunset in the dunes. The second day we visited Nizwa castle, fort and Souk, the ancient village of Al Hamra and finally to our guesthouse in Misfat Al Abriyyin. Aziz took us for a walk through the terraced plantations and explained the Falaj irrigation system. The final day we visited Bahla Fort and Jabreen Castle. Each day we were treated to a delicious local lunch. We are so grateful to have had such a brilliant tour guide who felt like a friend. Thank you Aziz. Our only comment to the organisers at GidOman is that it would have helped to have had better communication about what the schedule was for each day and what we needed to bring, this needs to be sent on confirmation of a place on the tour. For example water or reef shoes would have made the hike in the Wadi easier and information of what is the dress code for the Mosque etc. It would also have been nice to have had some sort of briefing or a written schedule on the first day when we were picked up by the driver and taken to our hotel. Finally please note this is not a 5 day tour as advertised on Tour Radar it is a 3 1/2 day tour.
The Oman Complete - Escorted Tour in 4* Hotels – Full Board Plan
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.

The tour guide was great
Mountains, Deserts and Coast of Oman
This was an excellent holiday with a good mix of history (forts, ruined villages, dhows), outdoors (sand dunes, sea swimming, desert camping), and life (livestock market, talking to guides, …). Our guide Kais was excellent and put in a lot of effort to make sure we were looked after. Our driver Motasim was the best - both as a guide and as an expert at sand dune driving. Oman has spectacular and diverse scenery which is different from other countries in the Middle East so is highly recommended. A couple of points: the trip requires arrival by 10am on the first day or otherwise you miss the Muscat tour - realistically this means almost everyone has to arrive the day before and pay for an extra night in a hotel + transfer. It would be better if this was part of the tour. Also, I did this tour in the last week of May and it was really hot (camping in 40+ degrees was an experience!) so worth being aware of this when planning.

Tour Dina | 5 Days Package
Oman is Great. So are the people. The tour touched relevant areas in Oman and gave a good overview of the country. Unfortunately the guide told us little information.after the tour I read things about our stops that would have been great to learn while we were there. Mostly probably because his English had serious limitations. He hardly understood questions. I would have wanted more time in the desert. Just over night was too short. And the mentioned dune bashing was not on offer. Tips on what to bring would have been helpful. E.g. wet shoes to wear in the Wadi Shab Trip. There were a lot of painful pebbles to walk over.
City, Wadis and Desert
The City, Wadis and Desert Tour has been amazing thanks to our outstanding tour guide Aziz! From the start, Aziz took excellent care of us, arriving early, making sure we packed the appropriate attire for each day, providing water and excellent knowledge on the sights and Omani traditions and being very flexible every step of the tour based on our interests and energy. Aziz stood with us every step of the way which was especially necessary while walking through the wadis. The path can be very tricky and he also joined us in the water to tell us exactly where to step at the slippery underground and how to get the best out of experiencing the amazing nature! We saw other tourists trying to battle this on their own, so this was really exceptional! But what really drove home was the outstanding kindness and helpfulness Aziz showed not only to us but to every lost or hurt tourist around us. Thank you Aziz for this amazing experience and for truly showing us the best of Omani kindness!
Oman Adventure (Private tour)
GidOman has done a great job of curating a tour that takes travellers around some of the key highlights of Oman; starting out from Muscat and then moving all around the country, one gets to see the rich cultural heritage and stunning landscapes of the country.
Undiscovered Oman: People & landscapes
Wadis,Desert and Mountains (Private tour)
The tour was very well organized by GidOman. All the activities were booked as we had requested (we changed the tour slightly with two nights in the desert and two nights in the mountains). GidOman was always easy to reach via WhatsApp and responded quickly to questions and concerns. At the Turtle Reserve, we even got an upgrade to the Turtle Beach Resort instead of Sama Ras Al Jinz. We are very satisfied with GidOman and can recommend them without reservation. Every pick up by GidOman was always on time. My sister and I have celiac disease, which means that we have to eat gluten-free. This condition is not well known in Oman, but together with Aziz (our guide) we found a large selection of gluten-free bread in an organic supermarket in Muscat (Al fair) and GidOman also took care of it. The heart of our trip was our guide Aziz. We always felt very comfortable and safe with him and he really enriched the trip with his pleasant and funny demeanor. He knows the best photo spots and knows exactly when it's best to be at which activity. This allowed us to relax and unwind. Aziz was always on time, always friendly, and always well prepared for the activities (water, flashlight, waterproof cell phone case,...). He answered a lot of questions about Omani culture. Our impression is also that we were accompanied by an Omani, so we were even closer to the Omani culture. We were able to gain a lot of insights into this great country! The car was very well equipped, very comfortable and was up to all requirements from desert to mountains. Thank you very much for this great vacation!

Experience Oman (Private tour)
What an excellent way to see not just Muscat, but also the incredibly interesting heritage and geography of Oman. Our guide/driver Khalil was excellent in all respects, speaking and conversing in excellent English, sharing his extensive knowledge of Oman and its history, and readily able to answer all our many questions, regardless of topic. The standard of accommodation was first class, but varied from modern luxury hotels in Muscat, to most interesting heritage hotels and resorts/camps in the mountains and desert. Our 8 day tour had a well thought out and executed itinerary, with our luxury 4WD (a must in the desert, and in mountains). Khalil accommodated our tour interests and priorities. We found Oman to be our preferred Middle East experience, with not just extensive modern high standard infrastructure, but also a lot of heritage history and villages, and a very varied geography, of rugged mountain ranges, wadis and coast line. The local Omani people were always very friendly and helpful.
What people love about Oman Tours from Muscat
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.

The Sultanate is the oldest independent state in the Arab world and is peppered with traces of the past. The remains of protohistoric settlements pinpoint the earliest trading places. The striking fortresses recall a time when rivals tussled for territory. The ancient irrigation channels reveal the ingenuity of the Sultanate’s ancestors. The open waters and vast, untamed wilderness will have you itching to explore -on foot, by boat, on two wheels, or four.
