Summary

As far as rich petro-states go oman is probably the only great one. Rather than going the glitzy luxury fake route they decided to go for a more modest, comfortable and enriching feeling fo their nation.

Getting around Oman is such a lovely therapeutic experience, it feels almost like meditating to drive along the 4 lane silky smooth highways with not a soul in sight.

If you want a Middle East experience that feels like it came from a disney movie, this is it.

Official Travel Advice

From the Australian DFAT Smartraveller

Exercise normal safety precautions

Challenges

getting around by public transport is honestly an un-fun miserable experience, I highly recommend hiring a car.

Do

Try hiking in a wadi. It's combines a mix of shallow swimming and walking, just dont forget to bring plenty of drinking water.

Stay in a dome along the desert, its a relatively affordable and peaceful experience.
