Oman is probably one of the best place I have visited in my life. My friend and I booked our flight not even a day in advance and we spend around a week travelling along the eat coast. Oman's nature is breathtaking and we only got to see a small part of it. The country is super safe and the people are incredibly welcoming. Definitely recommend it for female travellers!

I’ve drove around 1.300 km, by myself, and i felt safe 100% of the time. The country is amazing, with stunning landscapes. Food was also great. It was not hard to communicate in english. The diversity of landscape was much higher than i expected.

I traveled to a tropical region with stunning beaches and sea (Salalah) and to its capital (Muscat), situated between two dry mountain ranges and typical white buildings. I fell in love with this country. I adored their architecture, order and safety. Moreover, people were very friendly and surprised when they saw a woman traveling alone.

Safe day and night, even for female solo travelers. 99.9% of locals are nice and welcoming and willing to help to best of their abilities but I would be weary of taking random lifts while hitchhiking.

Oman has become one of my go-to destinations whenever I want to have a short getaway. The country is vast and diverse in nature, I never felt unsafe, and I always take a tour guide as the good places are difficult to reach by yourself. Nobody will approach you, but you might get sideyed if you are not dressed appropriately or if people recognize that you are a tourist. I also suggest that you bargain on the prices, especially at the souq, cause you might end up with a good deal.

It's the safest place I have ever seen. People are so kind and rules are so strong. They have womens back and the police is easily available. You don't have to be worried about and also you can wear what ever u like

Oman is an incredibly safe country, with a very low crime rate and virtually no violent or petty crime. The people are warm, friendly, and welcoming, especially towards foreigners, and all religions are respected. While walking around, you can feel safe even at night, though. There has been instances where i have been catcalled or followed but without any harm or interaction. However, these occurrences are rare and do not diminish the overall sense of security in the country. It is one of the most peaceful countries in the world.
