Tips for your travel to the Sultanate of Oman
There’s so much to know when travelling to foreign countries. Here are some recommendations from us to make your stay in Oman an unforgettable experience. We believe it is really important to encounter the Omani people in a kind way. The Sultanate of Oman is a muslim country and many tourists are insecure about how to react to Omani men and women wearing a veil. However, the heartwarming hospitality will make you feel as an appreciated guest in no time.
Being respectful is going to prevent you of being provocative or missing a chance to meet interesting locals. Clothing with long sleeves and trousers should always be within reach in case you get invited by an Omani family. Especially when visiting the Grand Mosque in Muscat it is really important to meet the rules regarding your clothing.
