Oman packs remarkable variety into a single trip — you might swim in a wadi, trek a mountain and camp in the desert within days. Layered, modest clothing works best across all regions.
For wadis and the coast, pack swimwear, water shoes and reef-safe sunscreen. Mountain trips above 2,000m need a light jacket even in winter. Desert safaris call for closed shoes, a hat and a warm layer for starlit evenings.
Respect local customs with shoulders and knees covered when visiting mosques and villages. A reusable water bottle, power adapter (Type G) and a modest scarf are always useful companions.
