About Oman

Travellers often rush to the Middle East for the glamour of Dubai or the ancient stories of Egypt, while Oman rarely receives the attention it deserves. Oman, however, deserves a place at the very top of any traveller’s bucket list. Dramatic mountain ranges fade into vast arid terrain, turning the country into a truly dreamlike destination. 

The country borders the United Arab Emirates and is frequently praised as one of the safest and cleanest places in the world, yet it remains largely unknown to many travellers. According to Oman’s tourism data, nearly 3.15 million travellers visited the country during the first ten months of 2025.

Planning a trip to Oman? Places to visit, travel months, local food, and practical tips are outlined here to help when choosing Oman tour packages.

Who Should Travel To Oman

Travellers often choose Oman for its calm atmosphere, cultural sites, and natural scenery in one trip. Ancient forts stand near beaches, and desert roads lead to mountain views. Oman holiday packages help people focus on the trip by enjoying the sights, the culture and the experiences without the stress of planning everything. 

Here are the types of travellers who will enjoy Oman the most:

  • Adventure Seekers

Oman stands out as a top choice for adventure lovers drawn to untamed landscapes and wide open trails. Four-wheel drives climb rugged mountains, wadis invite long swims, deserts open up for treks, and islands suit diving. People who like to go with the flow and find new places will find that Oman is great for ended adventures and discoveries. 

  • Road Trippers

Oman is good for people who like road trips, people who love drives, and changing views. The highways are smooth and go through the Hajar Mountains, the Wahiba Sands and the coastal wadis. The weather is nice, which makes the drives comfortable. 

  • Solo Female Travellers

Oman is seen as one of the most welcoming countries in the Middle East, which makes it a comfortable place for women who travel alone. Oman has low crime rates, the people are considerate, and the locals are friendly, which helps people feel at ease. Solo road trips in Oman are also smooth, enjoyable and safe, with routes that're easy to follow and get to. 

  • Cultural Enthusiasts

People who love culture will really like Oman because of its heritage sites, seventeenth-century forts, and the way the Bedouin people live. You can go to the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque and Nizwa Fort to see what daily life is like and learn about the customs. These places are very special. You can visit them in a way that is respectful. 

  • Nature Lovers

Nature lovers will enjoy Oman for its mountains, wadis, coastline, wildlife, and striking rock formations. Mountain trails meet hidden valleys and quiet shores. For easier access to remote spots, renting a 4x4 through Oman tour packages is highly recommended.

Famous Cities in Oman

Oman’s cities bring together rugged scenery, deep-rooted traditions, and thoughtful modern growth. Located by the Arabian Sea and surrounded by the Al Hajar Mountains, these cities are marked by forts and busy souqs. Travellers often include these stops alongside Yemen trip packages for a richer regional journey.

These are the top cities of Oman:  

  • Muscat

Muscat is the capital of Oman, located between rugged mountains and the Gulf of Oman. The city features Al Jalali Fort and Al Mirani Fort, plus mosques, traditional souqs, and buildings showing Arab, Portuguese, and Indian influences.

  • Salalah

Salalah is the capital of Oman’s Dhofar region and the country’s third-largest city. Known for the Khareef season from June to September, mist and rain turn the surrounding landscape green. White sand beaches, ancient sites, and a strong frankincense history offer a refreshing escape from the desert heat.

  • Nizwa

Nizwa served as Oman’s capital during the sixth and seventh centuries and is located near the Hajar Mountains. It is known as the “Pearl of Islam”. The seventeenth-century Nizwa Fort, built in 1668 by Imam Sultan bin Saif Al Ya’arubi, features a massive cylindrical tower and a strong defensive design. The old souq sells pottery, silver jewellery, and hosts a busy Friday goat market. Nizwa is included in many Oman tour packages for its falaj water channels and historic mosques.

  • Sohar

Sohar is located along the Gulf of Oman, roughly halfway between Muscat and the UAE border. Linked to the legend of Sinbad the Sailor, the city carries a strong historical past alongside modern expansion. The thirteenth-century Sohar Fort rises close to active ports, open beaches, and long-standing local souqs.

  • Sur

Sur is a historic coastal city in north-eastern Oman and the 2024 Arab Tourism Capital. Known for hand-built dhows, old forts, and a scenic corniche, it sits near the Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve along the Gulf of Oman.

  • Bahla

Bahla is a UNESCO-listed town in Ad Dakhiliyah and was once the capital of the Banu Nebhan tribe. The thirteenth-century Bahla Fort rises above a vast oasis and mud brick walls stretching twelve kilometres. Known for pottery, falaj channels, weekly cattle markets, and jinn legends, the town lies close to Jabreen Castle.

  • Al Buraimi

Al Buraimi is a strategic oasis city in north-western Oman, bordering Al Ain in the UAE and lying about 343 kilometres from Muscat. Once called Tawam, it thrived as an ancient trade centre. Known for Al Khandaq Fort, Al Hilla Fort, Wadi Kitnah, traditional souqs, and Al Buraimi Park, the city reflects a link between desert life, oases, commerce, and shared Omani-Emirati culture.

  • Sama’il

Sama’il is a historic wilayat in Ad Dakhiliyah and the first Arab land to accept Islam. Located about fifty kilometres from Muscat, it sits among the Al Hajar Mountains along the Samail Gap route. The Mazin bin Ghadoubah Mosque, founded in 627 CE, is Oman’s oldest mosque. Over one hundred fifteen forts, palm-filled oases, one hundred ninety-four aflaj systems, and Samail Industrial City reflect its blend of history, nature, and growth.

  • Sarfayt

Sarfayt is a remote mountain settlement in Oman’s Dhofar Governorate, close to the Yemeni border along the Arabian Sea. High cliffs, deep wadis, limestone ridges, and frankincense trees define the landscape. The winding Sarfayt Road climbs nearly one thousand metres from coastal plains to fog-covered heights, especially during the khareef season. After completing their main itinerary, some travellers choose to extend their plans by adding nearby destinations such as Yemen or selecting dubai trip packages.

Best Time to Visit Oman

Choosing the right season makes a real difference when visiting Oman. Each month in Oman is a bit different. So what you want to see and do will help you plan your trip. People often plan their Oman trips around the weather. That way, they can enjoy sightseeing, doing things outside and long drives without much trouble. Oman holiday packages are often arranged around favourable weather to make sightseeing and activities more comfortable.

Nizwa Fort stands as one of Oman’s oldest national monuments in Nizwa. Built in the seventeenth century by Imam Sultan bin Saif Al Ya’rubi, its large round tower rises thirty-four metres.

  • Al Mughsail Beach

Al Mughsail Beach near Salalah stretches for six kilometres along Oman’s Dhofar coast and is known for white sand, high cliffs, and bright blue water. Natural blowholes near Marneef Cave send seawater into the air during high tide, especially in the khareef season from July to September. Frankincense trees grow along the hills, and the area offers picnic shelters, cafés, and parking. Waves can be strong here, so visitors should take care if they plan to swim.
