However, you are free to wear the attire of your choice at other places.
Getting around in Oman
With incredible infrastructure facilities and affordable fuel, Oman is one of the best destinations in the world to get around by yourself.

Best time to Visit
Oman is best visited during winter, during the months running from October to March. With temperatures lasting between 20 to 30 degrees, the pleasant weather conditions will prevent you from getting a heat stroke.
