Oman is one of the safest countries in the Middle East for tourists. The crime rate is very low, and the local population is known for their hospitality and friendliness. Most tourists experience a smooth and enjoyable stay. However, it’s always a good idea to exercise caution, particularly in more remote areas.
Oman is considered a very secure destination, with little to no political unrest or major security concerns. The main risks for travelers are related to natural elements such as extreme heat in the summer or dangerous driving conditions in desert regions. Always follow local advice and stay updated on weather conditions.
Although Oman is very safe, it’s recommended to register with your embassy, especially if you plan on traveling to remote or less-populated areas. This allows your embassy to contact you in case of an emergency or provide assistance if needed.
Oman is a great destination for solo travelers, including women. The country is known for its safe and respectful environment, and many solo female travelers report feeling comfortable exploring the cities and surrounding nature. As with any destination, basic precautions like avoiding isolated areas at night and dressing modestly are always a good idea.
Visa Requirements
Most travelers visiting Oman will need a tourist visa, which is simple to obtain. The standard tourist visa costs around $50 USD and is valid for 30 days. You can get your visa upon arrival at major international airports in Oman or apply in advance through Oman’s official e-Visa portal. We recommend applying online to save time and avoid delays at the airport. Nationals from certain countries may have specific entry requirements, so it’s always best to check the latest visa information before your trip. At EgyVacations, we’re happy to assist you with the latest visa updates to ensure a smooth arrival.
Currency & Payments
The local currency is the Omani Rial (OMR), but U.S. dollars are also widely accepted in tourist areas. While credit cards are commonly accepted in hotels, large shops, and restaurants, cash is still the preferred method of payment in markets and smaller establishments. It’s a good idea to keep some local currency on hand for tips and small purchases. ATMs are widely available in cities, but we recommend notifying your bank before you travel. At EgyVacations, we advise guests to carry a combination of local currency and small U.S. bills to ensure easy transactions during your trip.
Tipping Culture
Tipping, known locally as “baksheesh,” is a customary practice in Oman, and it’s greatly appreciated by service staff. For small services, such as carrying luggage or providing minor assistance, 1–2 OMR is typical. In restaurants, a 10% tip is generally expected if service is not included in the bill. For guides, drivers, and hotel staff, tipping is highly appreciated—consider budgeting around $5–7 USD per day for your driver and $10–15 USD per day for your guide. At EgyVacations, we provide clear and helpful tipping guidelines to ensure you navigate Oman’s tipping customs with ease.
The best time to visit Oman is during the cooler months, from October to April, when temperatures are more comfortable for sightseeing and outdoor activities. The summer months (May to September) can be extremely hot, especially in the desert and coastal areas. If you’re planning to explore Oman’s stunning mountains and beaches, the weather is more pleasant in the winter months.
When packing for Oman, it’s important to consider the climate and culture. Light, breathable clothing is ideal for the day, but make sure to cover your shoulders and knees as a sign of respect. If you plan to visit mosques, bring long sleeves and a scarf. Don’t forget sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect yourself from the sun. Comfortable shoes for walking and hiking are a must if you’re exploring natural sites, and a swimsuit is essential for enjoying Oman’s beautiful beaches and pools.
Apart from your passport and travel documents, there are a few essentials to pack for Oman:
Adapters: Oman uses the British-style Type G plug, so make sure you bring a suitable adapter.
Medication: Carry any personal medications, as pharmacies may not always stock specific international brands.
Camera: Oman’s landscapes are incredibly scenic, so make sure you bring a camera to capture the beauty of its mountains, beaches, and deserts.
Cash: While credit cards are widely accepted, having some Omani Rial (OMR) on hand for small purchases and tips is always helpful.

The best way to experience Oman is to explore its diverse landscapes, from the serene beaches of Salalah to the rugged mountains of Jebel Akhdar. A guided tour can enhance your experience, especially in historic sites like Nizwa Fort and the Grand Mosque in Muscat. Don’t miss the chance to visit the Wahiba Sands for a desert adventure or go dolphin-watching in the coastal waters of Musandam. For a unique experience, consider camping under the stars in the desert or taking a boat ride through the Khareef season in Salalah.
Visit Muscat: Explore the vibrant capital city with its beautiful Mutrah Corniche and the majestic Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque.
Wadi Bani Khalid: Hike to one of Oman’s most picturesque wadis, with its clear blue pools perfect for swimming.
Jebel Akhdar: Trek through the Green Mountain for panoramic views and lush terraced farms.
Snorkeling or Diving: Explore the rich marine life in the waters around Daymaniyat Islands.
Explore the desert: Spend a night in the Wahiba Sands for a truly authentic desert experience.
A trip to Oman can range from 5 to 7 days depending on how much of the country you wish to explore. If you’re focusing on the main attractions like Muscat, Nizwa, and the beaches, 5 days would suffice. However, to truly immerse yourself in the culture, nature, and adventure activities, 7 days will give you a deeper experience, especially if you plan to visit the desert or the more remote regions.
