Top Oman Tours & Holidays

An Oman tour includes what its itinerary lists: your guide, hotel nights, transfers by private vehicle, the entrance fees named in the programme and the meals specified. Our Oman tours are private by default, so it is your party, your guide, your vehicle and your pace. International flights are not included, but we can help you book them.

Our Oman day tours start from $85 per person for the Muscat City Tour. Multi-day Oman tours start from $650 for the 3 Days Short Break in Oman and go up to $1,800 for the 8 Days Private Tour in Oman, with the 5 Days Oman Private Tour Package at $1,100 and the 7 Days Oman Private Tour Package at $1,550. Hotels, season and group size set the final price.

Five to seven days is the right length for most Oman tours. Five days covers Muscat, Nizwa and the coast; seven days adds the desert and the mountains at a relaxed pace. With less time, the 3 Days Short Break in Oman or the 4 Days Muscat Tour Package works well, and the 8 Days Private Tour in Oman gives the fullest picture.

Oman tours combine the capital, Muscat, with its Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque and Mutrah Corniche; the historic town of Nizwa and its fort; the mountains of Jebel Akhdar and Jebel Shams; the turquoise pools of Wadi Bani Khalid; and a night in the dunes of the Wahiba Sands. Snorkelling around the Daymaniyat Islands and Salalah in the far south can be added.

Yes. Our Oman day tours are the Muscat City Tour (5 hours, from $85), the Nizwa and Jebel Shams Adventure (11 hours, from $120) and the Wahiba Sands and Wadi Bani Khalid Tour (8 hours, from $110). They are private like our multi-day tours, and you can take one on its own or add it to any Oman itinerary.

The best time to visit Oman is October to April, when temperatures are comfortable for sightseeing, the desert and the mountains. May to September is extremely hot, especially in the desert and along the coast, so a summer trip needs early starts and more time indoors. Tell us your month and your consultant will plan the days around the weather.

Most travellers on an Oman tour need a tourist visa, which can be obtained online through Oman's official e-Visa portal or on arrival at the major international airports; applying online saves time at the airport. Rules and fees depend on your nationality and can change, so your consultant confirms the current requirements for your passport when we plan your trip.

Oman's currency is the Omani Rial (OMR), and US dollars are widely accepted in tourist areas. Cards work in hotels, larger shops and restaurants, while cash is preferred in markets. Tipping is appreciated: around 10% in restaurants if service is not included, 1 to 2 OMR for small services, about $5 to $7 per day for your driver and $10 to $15 per day for your guide.

Yes. Oman is one of the safest countries in the Middle East for tourists, with a very low crime rate and a reputation for hospitality, and many solo female travellers feel comfortable exploring the cities and nature. The main risks are natural ones, such as summer heat and desert driving, which your guide and driver handle. Dress modestly and follow local advice, as anywhere.

Booking is by enquiry, not online checkout. Send your dates and group size through the form or on WhatsApp, and a consultant replies, usually within a few hours, with a free day-by-day itinerary and a full price that you can change as often as you like. A deposit as low as 30% confirms it (50% over Christmas, New Year and Easter), and the balance is due two days before arrival or in cash on arrival.
