Dress code in Oman

Oman is a beautiful country that blends rich tradition with modern vibes. While it’s generally more conservative than some other destinations, you’ll find a relaxed atmosphere in tourist areas.
Here’s a quick guide to dressing for an amazing Omani adventure:

Think Comfy-Chic: Aim for loose-fitting, breathable clothing that keeps you cool in the sunshine. Opt for natural fabrics like cotton or linen, perfect for exploring bustling souqs or relaxing on pristine beaches.

Respectful Style: When visiting religious sites like mosques, it’s best to cover your shoulders and knees. A light scarf or sarong can easily do the trick, and you might even be offered a traditional robe for the occasion!

Beach Bum Chic: Pack your swimsuit, the sun is up all winter long!

Most importantly, Oman is a welcoming place. The key is to be respectful of the culture and comfortable for your adventures!
