Located on the Arabian Peninsula and home to one of the most eclectic terrains, walking holidays in Oman encompass everything from desert to riverbed oases and expansive coastlines along the Arabian Gulf. The dunes of Wahiba Sands stretch from the mountains to the sea, making for a diverse and scenic holiday.
Begin your walking holiday in Muscat, the country’s capital city, surrounded by mountains and desert. With a vast history that dates back to antiquity, it is also home to a wide range of upmarket shopping malls, making it the ideal place to soak up Oman’s culture and pick up keepsakes.
The famous dunes of Wahiba Sands span the eastern Al Hajar Mountains to the Arabian Sea, meaning there is a colourful and varied terrain to be explored during your time in Oman. This picturesque setting is the perfect spot to see the sun go down over the magnificent sand dunes.
Venture to the Al Hajar mountain range to uncover the mighty Jebel Akhdar, which is populated by fruit orchards and provides stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

It is safe to hike in Oman because of the low crime rate and well-maintained walking trails. However, we recommend proper preparation, as the terrain can, at times, be challenging and temperatures very hot. Ensure you always have water with you and wear suitable clothing. Enjoy further peace of mind as guided walking holidays ensure extra safety along the best routes.
To really enjoy the best of Oman, we recommend spending at least a week or up to nine days. This will allow you to fully explore all that the country has to offer, discovering its ancient cities, scenic trails, and unique experiences. Our Discover Oman walking tour lasts for nine days and includes a carefully planned itinerary to ensure you see the best of Oman.
The best time to visit Oman is between November and March. This is when temperatures are cooler, ranging between 17°C and 30°C. Visiting Oman during these months will offer pleasant weather for exploring scenic trails, rugged mountains, and wadis. We recommend avoiding the summer due to Oman’s extreme heat, which can make hiking uncomfortable.
As a tourist in Oman, wear lightweight, breathable clothing that covers your shoulders and knees out of respect for local customs. When walking Oman’s scenic trails, wear comfortable clothes, sturdy shoes, and a wide-brimmed hat. You can consider packing a scarf or shawl for added sun protection and when visiting cultural sites where modest clothing is vital.
