Safety:Very safe

Oman is known for its warm hospitality and rich culture, making it a welcoming place for solo female travelers. Omani people are traditionally respectful and are known to go out of their way to help tourists. The crime rate in Oman is generally low. However, like any country, it's important to maintain caution, especially during night hours. It's also recommended to respect the local dress code and traditions.

Transport:Easy

Oman is relatively easy to navigate, with roads and infrastructure being well maintained. Language can sometimes be a barrier but people are mostly friendly and willing to help. However, understanding regional cultural nuances is important, and cautious driving is recommended due to local traffic laws and driving habits.

Things to do:Interesting

Oman is a vibrant and unique country, providing an endless array of experiences. The landscape ranges from mountainous terrain to beautiful pristine beaches, vast deserts, and lush wadis. Adventurous travelers can hike, go dune bashing, or track down the majestic turtles on the beaches. History lovers can visit the many forts, castles, and traditional markets. Its capital, Muscat, boasts a captivating blend of old and new, with luxurious hotels and shopping centers. A traveler can also immerse herself in the rich culture and the local cuisine. The Omani people are also known for their incredible hospitality and kindness to locals and foreigners alike.

Food:Above average

Oman's cuisine reflects a rich culinary heritage, offering a unique blend of flavors and recipes. The traditional dishes like shuwa, majboos, and harees testify to Oman's historic connections with Indian, Persian, and African cuisines. While fish and rice constitute most meals, a wide assortment of aromatic spices, herbs, and marinades augment the taste. The street food is definitely a must-try, with exotic varieties like halwa and the refreshing Omani coffee. Despite the lack of a vibrant vegetarian food scene, the overall dining experience is excellent in Oman.

Budget:Moderate

Oman offers a moderate budget-friendly experience with a varied range of options. Accommodation, transportation, and food prices are reasonable. You might need to pay for some premium experiences like luxurious desert camps and high-end dining. However, there are plenty of cost-effective activities such as visiting the local souks and beaches, hiking in the mountains, and exploring numerous historical sites.

Couple travel experience

Oman is one of the safest countries I've been so far. However, the best way to go around is renting a car! There were also solo women travellers who were driving alone - budget: a bit expensive, cheap gas/oil but accommodation same like Europe, coffee price like Europe - lots of outdoor activities such as hiking, diving etc. - Nice coffee culture - Main attractions: wadis, Jebel shams, Mutrah, the beach in the east, the desert - People are kind and hospitable - All signs and info are in english and arabic

Solo travel experience

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.
