Overview

Wadis with green water between rock walls, camels on the beach, scent of frankincense in the lanes: Oman is the dream destination for travellers who want to get to know Arabia without haste. The best travel season runs from October to March. In the north lies Musandam, the peninsula with fjords that you discover from a dhow. Jabal Akhdar in the Hajar Mountains offers terraced fields, rose harvest and cool air at over 2,000 metres, a good place to celebrate a milestone in life in stillness.

Salalah in the south is a contrast with coconut palms and frankincense trees, and in summer the monsoon falls there and turns the landscape green. Shoulders and knees stay covered in public and in mosques, which is regarded as a sign of respect. Cards are accepted in hotels and larger restaurants, while at markets and in the interior cash counts. A tip of 5 to 10 % for good service is usual.

Because the distances are large, you plan several days per region. In the video call you discuss which of the three landscapes suits your occasion.
