Why visit
Simple, respectful tips for markets, mosques, clothing, greetings, and photography.
Dress modestly in towns, souqs, villages, and religious sites; swimwear belongs at pools, beaches, and resort areas.
Ask before photographing people, especially in traditional markets and rural communities.
Hospitality is central to Omani culture, so accept coffee or dates graciously when offered and keep interactions unhurried.
CAR RENTAL
Compare popular vehicle categories and choose a rental car that fits your route, luggage, and travel style.
