The beautiful Gulf country
In Oman, travelers come across sweeping sand dunes, hidden mountain oases, and bustling souks—all within a rapidly modernizing nation rich in age-old traditions and warm hospitality.
Respect religious practices
During the holy month of Ramadan, avoid eating, drinking, or smoking in public during daylight hours.
It's also respectful to be quiet and reserved during prayer times.
Photography etiquettes
Always ask for permission before taking photos of people, especially women.
Avoid photographing government buildings, military sites, and airports.
Dress modestly
Both men and women should wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees.
Decent swimwear is also acceptable at pools and beaches but should not be worn in public areas.
Public behaviour
Public displays of affection are frowned upon. Holding hands is generally acceptable for married couples, but hugging in public should be avoided.
Alcohol consumption
Alcohol is available in licensed hotels and restaurants but is not permitted in public places. It's illegal to drink and drive, and public intoxication is a serious offense.
Tipping practices
Tipping is not obligatory but is appreciated. In restaurants, a 10% tip is customary if a service charge isn't included.
Language
Arabic is the official language, but English is widely spoken in urban areas and tourist destinations.
Learning a few basic Arabic phrases can be helpful and appreciated.
Environmental responsibility
Littering is illegal and can result in fines. Always dispose of trash properly and respect the natural environment, especially in protected areas.
Cultural sensitivity
Omanis are known for their hospitality. It's polite to accept offers of coffee or dates when visiting someone's home.
Always use your right hand for eating and greeting.
Driving laws
Driving is on the right side of the road. Seat belts are mandatory, and using a mobile phone while driving is prohibited unless you have a hands-free system.
