Oman

Oman has emerged from its hermit shell, revealing a land of friendly people and dramatic landscapes peppered with forts. Although it remains, in many ways, the most traditional country in the region, it's often more outward looking than it's given credit for.

Oman Weather


Its varied geography means Oman has a wide variety of climatic conditions. Muscat is fiercely hot and humid from mid-March until October and pleasantly warm from October to March. Indeed, during June unwavering humidity and average day-to-day 31-38°C (88-100°F) temperatures make for seriously dangerous conditions. In the Dhofar region in the south of the country, the weather is more temperate with temperatures of 30°C (90°F) all year round. The Salalah area is affected by the khareef, a drizzling rain, from June to September which turns the local mountains green.
