The Best Time To Visit

The best time to visit Oman is from October to April, when the weather is cooler and more pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 25°C to 30°C (77°F to 86°F). This is ideal for outdoor activities, sightseeing, and exploring Oman’s natural beauty, especially in desert areas and the mountains. Avoid the summer months, as temperatures can soar above 40°C (104°F), making travel less comfortable.
