Hospitable, pristine and adventurous

Oman, the pearl of the Middle East

Oman is such a destination that you may not immediately have on your list, but that will absolutely surprise you. Authentic, welcoming, adventurous, breathtaking: This beautiful country is it all!

Oman’s charm is in the perfect mix of old and new. It is modern and neat, but at the same time wonderfully traditional. And the people? Incredibly hospitable! Omani receive you with open arms and proudly show their beautiful country.

Best of all, you share these spectacular places with just a handful of other travelers. Oman has not (yet) been discovered by mass tourism, making it a perfect destination for those who love adventure, culture and pure beauty.

Information about Oman

A roadtrip is the best way to explore Oman. Rent a car and hit the road. Drive on empty highways along tropical wadis, rugged mountains and vast deserts. Along the way you will encounter donkeys, goats and dromedaries, and before you know it you will be at an ancient fortress or impressive palace.

FAQ about Oman

Yes, Oman is a very safe and peaceful country to travel. People are friendly and helpful, and tourists are received with open arms.
You can easily drive a rental car or your own car from the UAE to Oman. The most famous border crossing is between Al Ain (VAE) and Al Buraimi (Oman). Make sure you arrange a visa, a permit for Oman and good car insurance that is also valid in Oman.
Many travellers can visit Oman without a visa for short stays, often up to 14 days depending on their nationality. If you plan to stay longer, you may need to apply for a visa online before traveling. Because entry requirements vary by nationality and may change, it’s always a good idea to check the latest rules before your trip.
Yes, driving yourself is a great way to discover Oman. The roads are good and quiet. With a 4×4 you can also go into the mountains and desert. Note: some mountain roads are steep and require driving experience.
