Arriving in Muscat

Muscat, Oman’s capital, is actually a fusion of three individual towns. Muscat itself is the "walled city", and the site of the royal palaces, while Matrah (Matruh), which was originally a fishing village and is now the location of the remarkable Matrah Souq. The third part of this complex location is Ruwi, the commercial and diplomatic centre of the city. Book a flight to Muscat with Qatar Airways and you’ll discover a remarkable city that offers both tourists and business visitors a warm welcome. A blend of traditional values and a modern, forward-thinking city makes this an eclectic destination full of intrigue and mystery. Tourist attractions Al Jalali Fort and Al Mirani fort in Qasr Al Alam Street are magnificent, imposing structures that are well worth a photo opportunity. The forts were built as prisons in 1580 and are now museums. These two citadels stand guard over Qasr Al Alam Royal Palace, which although not open to the public is still worth seeing from the outside. The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is the third-largest mosque in the world, and a truly special place of contemplation and devotion. It’s also home to some spectacular artefacts, including a dazzling Swarovski crystal chandelier, and the second largest hand made Persian carpet in the world. Muscat has plenty of open spaces too, and one in particular is popular with visitors. The Qurum National Park is also known as the Rose Gardens, and has spectacular displays of fragrant blooms all year round, as well as a man-made waterfall and lake. A journey of 100km will bring you to Wadi Shab, a journey that is well worth making to see this natural wonder. Emerald green pools and dramatic caves make this an unexpected and beautiful excursion from the hustle and bustle of Muscat city. Travel Considerations Flights to Muscat with Qatar Airways land at Muscat International Airport, the largest airport in Oman. Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure.

Oman vs. Qatar

Choosing a travel destination is never an easy task, especially when you have Oman and Qatar on your list. Each country has its unique set of offerings that make them special in their own right. The real question is: What are you looking to get out of your journey? So go ahead, dig deeper into this comparison to find out which destination aligns more with your travel aspirations.

History & Culture

Let’s start by talking about something we all find interesting: history and culture. This is the heartbeat of any country and tells us a lot about what to expect when we visit. Now, when it comes to Oman and Qatar, you’ll find that both nations have unique histories and vibrant cultures.

Oman has a long and storied history dating back thousands of years. The country was an essential player in ancient maritime trade routes, making it a melting pot of various cultures.

You’ll find influences from Persia, India, and even Africa here. Traditional music, art, and crafts like pottery and weaving are highly valued. The locals, called Omanis, are known for their hospitality and preserving their ancestral customs.

Switch gears to Qatar, and you’ll see a nation that has rapidly modernized over the last few decades, thanks in part to its rich oil reserves. However, Qataris also take immense pride in their heritage.

The country has invested heavily in museums and cultural initiatives to preserve its history and traditions. Here, the culture is a mix of Bedouin roots and modern global influences, which is evident in their architecture and art scenes.

Comparing the two, Oman offers a more rustic and traditional cultural experience. The country has not embraced modernity as quickly as Qatar and has managed to keep its historical roots intact. It’s the kind of place where you can genuinely feel like you’ve stepped back in time.

On the other hand, Qatar provides a blend of old and new. The government has pushed for a modern, cosmopolitan society while still retaining elements of its past. Think high-tech museums next to traditional souks, or marketplaces. It’s a place where you can experience rapid progress without losing sight of its roots.

To sum it up, if you’re a history buff with a love for authentic, traditional experiences, Oman is your go-to destination. But if you appreciate a more dynamic blend of the past and the present, you may find Qatar more to your liking. Either way, you can’t go wrong; it’s all about what you want your journey to include.

Attractions & Activities

One of the key factors that make a vacation unforgettable is the assortment of attractions and activities available. Oman and Qatar both offer unique experiences that can make your trip worthwhile. But what are the specifics? Let’s dive in and compare.

Oman is renowned for its natural wonders. One must-visit spot is the Wadi Shab, a river gorge surrounded by cliffs and palm trees. It offers hiking opportunities and a chance to see waterfalls.

You can also go off-roading in the Al Hajar Mountains, a thrilling experience that showcases Oman’s dramatic landscapes. Caving is another fascinating activity; the Al Hoota Cave is a natural marvel with its limestone formations.

Flip the script to Qatar, and you’ll encounter more urban-centered activities. The Museum of Islamic Art in Doha is an architectural marvel that houses one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of Islamic artifacts.

For something more adventurous, you can try dune bashing in the Qatari desert, an exhilarating experience in a 4×4 vehicle. The Aspire Zone offers some excellent outdoor athletic activities like running and biking.

If you’re passionate about history and architecture, Oman will captivate your senses. Its forts, such as the Nakhal Fort and Bahla Fort, offer breathtaking panoramic views and insights into the country’s past. These structures blend effortlessly with the natural landscapes, adding an extra layer of charm.

Qatar, on the other hand, has an edge in modern architecture and art. The Doha Corniche is a must-visit, featuring numerous sculptures and an iconic view of the city’s skyline. Also, don’t miss the Katara Cultural Village, which features art installations and amphitheaters for performances.

In conclusion, both countries offer a range of activities but they cater to different tastes. Oman is your playground if you’re a nature and history enthusiast. On the flip side, if you’re into modern art and architecture, then Qatar will be your haven. Choose based on what experiences you want to collect, and you’re sure to have a memorable trip.

When it comes to soaking up the sun and enjoying the sea, the beaches are often a major draw. Both Oman and Qatar boast stunning shorelines, but what sets them apart? Let’s compare to help you decide.

Oman offers an array of secluded beaches like Tiwi Beach, where you can snorkel in crystal-clear waters. The coastline here stretches for about 1,700 miles (approximately 2,736 kilometers). Beaches like Ras al-Jinz even offer the opportunity to watch sea turtles nesting, an experience that’s both educational and awe-inspiring.

Switch to Qatar, and you’ll find beaches that are more developed and accessible, given the country’s smaller size. The coastline here is approximately 350 miles long (about 563 kilometers). The beaches, such as Katara Beach in Doha, often come with amenities like loungers and water sports facilities.

While Oman’s beaches offer a more natural experience, focusing on conservation and sustainability, Qatar’s beaches are designed for convenience and comfort. Here, you can easily find a place to rent jet skis or go parasailing, adding an extra layer of excitement to your beach day.

In Oman, the topography varies widely, adding more character to its beaches. You’ll find everything from rocky coves to sandy expanses. This allows for a broader range of water-based activities like kayaking and paddleboarding.

In summary, if you’re looking for a beach experience that’s closer to nature, Oman is the destination for you. However, if you prefer beaches with modern amenities and activities, Qatar will meet your needs. The choice depends on what kind of beach experience you’re seeking; both countries have their unique offerings that are worth considering.

Eating, Drinking & Nightlife

When you travel, indulging in local cuisine and experiencing the nightlife are often highlights of the journey. Between Oman and Qatar, you’ll find differing tastes and styles when it comes to food, drinks, and after-hours activities. Let’s see how they stack up against each other.

In Oman, food is deeply connected to the country’s history and culture. You’ll find a lot of seafood, meats, and dishes spiced with cardamom, saffron, and turmeric. Popular items include shuwa, a slow-cooked lamb dish, and mashuai, a type of fish served with rice. Oman offers a more traditional dining experience, with less international influence compared to Qatar.

Qatar, being a more cosmopolitan society, has a broader range of food options. Alongside traditional Qatari dishes like machboos (a fragrant rice dish), you’ll find a vibrant scene of international cuisine. Restaurants in Doha serve everything from sushi to Italian pasta, making it a food lover’s paradise.

When it comes to drinking, Oman is more conservative. Alcohol is available but usually only in hotels and private clubs. You won’t find many public bars or pubs, and the culture around drinking is low-key.

In contrast, Qatar has a more relaxed approach to alcohol. Hotels and licensed venues serve a variety of alcoholic beverages, including cocktails and international brands of beer and wine.

Nightlife in Oman is quiet compared to Qatar. The focus is more on family gatherings and cultural events. However, there are some cafes where you can enjoy live music.

Qatar offers a livelier nightlife with various options like clubs, bars, and lounges. Doha, in particular, is bustling after dark, with places to go for music, dancing, and socializing.

To sum it up, Oman gives you a traditional and cultural eating experience with a calm nightlife, while Qatar offers more variety in food and a bustling social scene. Your choice between the two would depend on whether you’re looking for an authentic local experience or a mix of local and international flavors, complemented by an active nightlife.

Shopping can be another enjoyable aspect of any trip, providing a chance to bring home unique souvenirs and gifts. Oman and Qatar have different offerings that reflect their individual cultures and histories. Let’s dig into the details.

Oman is the place to go if you’re interested in traditional crafts. From beautiful Omani silver jewelry to intricately designed carpets, you’ll find something special to take home. The Nizwa Souk is one of the oldest marketplaces in Oman, famous for its silver crafts and spices. There’s also the Mutrah Souk in Muscat, where you can find antiques, textiles, and perfumes.

Qatar is a blend of the old and the new when it comes to shopping. The Souq Waqif in Doha offers traditional items like spices, textiles, and handicrafts. However, Qatar also has ultramodern shopping malls like the Villaggio Mall, where you can find international brands and luxury goods.

Omani marketplaces are generally open-air, offering a different experience compared to the air-conditioned malls in Qatar. Plus, bargaining is more commonly accepted in Oman, giving you a chance to haggle for a good deal.

Qatar offers a more streamlined shopping experience with fixed prices, especially in the malls. However, you can still bargain in the traditional souks if you’re up for the challenge.

In conclusion, Oman offers a more rustic and traditional shopping experience, ideal for unique crafts and souvenirs. Qatar provides a mix of traditional and modern shopping venues, catering to a broader range of preferences. Your choice will depend on what you’re looking to bring back from your journey.

Accommodation

Choosing the right place to stay can make or break your trip. Both Oman and Qatar offer a range of accommodations, each with its unique blend of comfort and cultural experience. Let’s explore your options in these Middle Eastern gems.

Oman offers a range of accommodations from five-star hotels in Muscat to eco-friendly desert camps in Wahiba Sands. Luxury hotels like Al Bustan Palace and Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah provide opulent experiences, complete with ocean views and exceptional amenities.

For those looking for something different, Oman also offers boutique hotels that focus on traditional Omani architecture and hospitality.

Qatar, particularly in its capital Doha, is home to some of the world’s most luxurious hotels like the Marsa Malaz Kempinski and the Ritz-Carlton. Modern architecture and lavish amenities are the norms here. Qatar also offers budget-friendly options, mainly located near Souq Waqif and Al Corniche, providing you easy access to key city attractions.

If you’re on a budget, Oman provides more low-cost options like guesthouses and hostels, especially in cities like Salalah and Nizwa. These places usually include basic amenities and can be a great way to experience local culture.

In Qatar, budget accommodations are available but generally more expensive than those in Oman. The focus here is more on mid-range to luxury stays, offering top-notch services and facilities.

In summary, Oman offers a diverse range of stays from luxurious hotels to eco-camps, with more budget-friendly options. Qatar leans more towards luxury and modern comforts but also has a decent range of mid-range options. Your pick will hinge on what kind of experience you’re after.

Family-Friendliness & Children’s Activities

When traveling with family, it’s crucial to find destinations that everyone, especially the kids, can enjoy. Oman and Qatar have a lot to offer in this department, but their approaches are different.

Oman focuses more on outdoor and educational activities for children. Families can enjoy hiking in the Al Hajar Mountains, where there are trails suitable for kids. You can also take them to the Omani Aquarium and Maritime Museum to learn about marine life.

Qatar, on the other hand, has more structured activities and entertainment centers for children. Places like the Museum of Illusions in Doha or the Aqua Park Qatar offer a variety of activities that are both fun and engaging for kids.

In Oman, many hotels offer family-friendly amenities like kids’ pools and playgrounds, but these are generally less extravagant than what you’d find in Qatar.

Qatar’s luxury hotels often come with full-fledged kids’ clubs, complete with a range of activities and caretakers to keep your little ones entertained while you relax.

In summary, if you’re looking for outdoor, educational activities for your family, Oman could be your go-to. If you prefer more structured, indoor activities and luxuriously equipped family-friendly hotels, Qatar would be more up your alley.

Getting There & Getting Around

Whether it’s your first trip to the Middle East or you’re a seasoned traveler, knowing how to get to and around Oman and Qatar can save you time and stress. So, how do these two destinations compare?

Getting to Oman usually involves flying into Muscat International Airport, located about 16 km (about 10 miles) from the city center. Flights from Europe, Asia, and other parts of the Middle East are frequent.

Qatar is primarily accessed through Hamad International Airport in Doha, which is about 13 km (about 8 miles) from the city. This airport is a major international hub, offering more frequent flights from a broader range of locations.

Once in Oman, your primary modes of transportation will be taxis and rental cars. Public transport isn’t extensive, so driving is often the most convenient option. Oman’s roads are well-maintained, making it easier for you to explore places like Salalah or Nizwa.

Qatar offers a more developed public transportation system. The Doha Metro is efficient and connects key parts of the city. Taxis and ride-sharing services are also readily available and reasonably priced.

To sum up, getting to Qatar might offer more flight options due to its international hub status. Oman offers less in the way of public transport, making a rental car more necessary. On the other hand, Qatar provides a robust public transport system, making it easier to get around without a personal vehicle. Your choice would depend on your travel preferences and needs.

When choosing between Oman and Qatar, the weather can be a deciding factor for many travelers. Both countries experience typical Middle Eastern climates, but there are notable differences that could influence your plans.

Oman has a more varied climate due to its diverse topography. Muscat, the capital, has hot summers with temperatures reaching up to 104°F (40°C), particularly from May to September. Winters are milder, with temperatures ranging from 60°F to 75°F (15°C to 24°C) between November and March.

In contrast, the city of Salalah in southern Oman experiences a monsoon season (Khareef) from June to September, bringing cooler weather and green landscapes.

Qatar is generally hotter and more humid, especially in the summer months from June to September, with temperatures reaching up to 110°F (43°C). Winters are cooler and more bearable, with temperatures ranging from 57°F to 70°F (14°C to 21°C), making it an ideal time to visit.

If you’re planning outdoor activities, Oman offers a bit more flexibility due to its varied climate. Activities like hiking in the Al Hajar Mountains are more pleasant during the cooler months.

On the other hand, if you’re looking for constant hot and sunny weather, Qatar will meet those expectations, particularly in the summer. Just make sure you’re prepared for the heat!

In summary, Oman offers a more diverse weather pattern that can accommodate various activities, while Qatar gives you a consistently hot and sunny experience. Your ideal destination will depend on how important weather is to your overall experience.

Safety is a top priority when selecting a travel destination. Both Oman and Qatar are considered safe countries, but let’s dig into the details to see how they compare.

Oman is known for its low crime rates and warm, welcoming locals. Violent crimes are extremely rare, and petty crimes like pickpocketing are not common either. The police force is reliable and efficient.

Similarly, Qatar is also a safe destination with low crime rates. The country has stringent laws, and the police are visible and accessible. However, it’s worth noting that Qatar has stricter rules on dress codes and public behavior, particularly for women.

As for unique non-crime topics, Oman offers an exceptional healthcare system that is accessible to tourists. Emergency medical services are excellent and widely available.

In Qatar, road safety is an evergreen topic. While the country has modern roads, driving behavior can be aggressive, so it’s crucial to be extra cautious if you choose to drive.

In summary, both Oman and Qatar offer a safe travel environment. Oman is more relaxed regarding dress codes and public behavior, whereas Qatar is stricter but still very secure. Your choice would depend on what level of social rules and regulations you’re comfortable with.

Budget is often a critical factor in choosing a destination. So how do Oman and Qatar stack up when it comes to cost?

Oman offers a range of prices, particularly for food. Local eateries can provide a meal for around 3 Omani Rials (approximately 7.80 USD), while a dinner at a mid-range restaurant might cost you around 15 Omani Rials (approximately 38.85 USD).

Accommodation is varied, with guesthouses priced at about 20 Omani Rials per night (approximately 51.80 USD) and luxury hotels going up to 100 Omani Rials or more at peak times (approximately 259 USD).

In Qatar, dining is generally more expensive. A meal at a local restaurant would cost around 40 Qatari Riyals (approximately 11 USD), and a more lavish experience can go up to 200 Qatari Riyals (approximately 55 USD).

Accommodations are on the higher end, with budget hotels starting at around 200 Qatari Riyals (approximately 55 USD) and luxury options at 1000 Qatari Riyals (approximately 275 USD).

Transportation in Oman is relatively less expensive if you’re renting a car, which can cost around 15 Omani Rials per day (approximately 38.85 USD). In Qatar, the public transportation system is efficient and relatively cheap, with metro tickets costing around 2 Qatari Riyals (approximately 0.55 USD).

In summary, Oman offers more budget-friendly options for food and lodging, while Qatar tends to be more expensive but offers a robust public transport system. Your choice will largely depend on what kind of amenities and experiences you’re willing to pay for.

Which Is Better – Oman or Qatar?

You’ve read about the various factors that might influence your decision between visiting Oman and Qatar. Now let’s wrap it up by summarizing what each destination has to offer, so you can make an informed choice.

Oman’s rich history and diverse culture make it a fascinating destination for those who love to dig deep into the past and enjoy a variety of landscapes. Whether it’s hiking in the Al Hajar Mountains or experiencing the unique monsoon season in Salalah, Oman offers a dynamic climate that accommodates different activities.

On the safety front, Oman has low crime rates and is more relaxed regarding dress codes and public behavior. If you’re budget-conscious, Oman provides more affordable options, especially in food and accommodation.

Qatar, on the other hand, is a go-to spot for those who seek modern architecture and luxury experiences. Its weather is consistently hot and sunny, which might be perfect for some.

As for safety, Qatar is a secure destination, although it does have stricter rules on public behavior and dress codes. On the cost side, it’s generally more expensive than in Oman, especially when it comes to dining and accommodations.

When it comes to family-friendliness and children’s activities, both destinations offer a variety of options. However, Oman’s diverse climate and landscapes may offer a broader range of family-oriented activities. In terms of getting there and getting around, Qatar has a more efficient public transport system, while Oman might require a rental car for more extensive exploration.

So, when should you choose Oman over Qatar? Oman is ideal if you are looking for a destination that offers both historical depth and diverse climatic experiences. It’s also the better option for travelers on a budget and those looking for a more relaxed atmosphere in terms of social rules.

Qatar would be your choice if you’re looking for modern luxuries and high-end shopping, and are willing to comply with stricter social norms. It’s also better for those who prefer a more organized public transportation system and don’t mind the higher costs associated with the destination.

In the end, both Oman and Qatar have unique offerings that cater to different types of travelers. Your ideal destination will depend on what you value most: whether it’s history, culture, activities, budget, or something else entirely. Make your list, check it twice, and then take your pick!

Travel requirements for Oman nationals to enter Qatar

The next trip to Qatar will be amazing! But you’ll need to know all information about the documents to go from Oman to Qatar. Once Oman is part of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates), the rules are a little bit flexible for Qatar entry, also the COVID-19 travel restrictions.

Applying for the Hayya Card

Travelers going from Oman to Qatar have to apply for the Hayya Card . This card is a tourist identification document, mandatory for all visitors going to Qatar during the FIFA competition. It’ll give access to stadiums and public transport, but is also a travel document that holds the visitor's personal information.

The Qatar visa for Oman citizens

Safety and Security

Terrorism: Terrorist groups and those inspired by such organizations are intent on attacking U.S. citizens abroad. Terrorists are increasingly using less sophisticated methods of attack – including knives, firearms, and vehicles – to more effectively target crowds. Frequently, their aim is unprotected or vulnerable targets, such as:

High-profile public events (sporting contests, political rallies, demonstrations, holiday events, celebratory gatherings, etc.)
Hotels, clubs, and restaurants frequented by tourists
Places of worship
Schools
Parks
Shopping malls and markets
Public transportation systems (including subways, buses, trains, and scheduled commercial flights)

For more information, see our Terrorism page.

MARAD Report: According to the United States Maritime Administration (MARAD), U.S. flag vessels in the Gulf of Oman, North Arabian Sea, Gulf of Aden, and the Bab el Mandeb regions face an elevated risk of attacks by violent extremists.

Emergency hotlines are mostly Arabic-speaking. The U.S. Embassy has received reports from U.S. citizens who were unable to receive assistance due to language barriers. Contact the U.S. Embassy at +968 2464-3400. Remember that local authorities are responsible for investigating and prosecuting crimes.

Domestic Violence: U.S. citizen victims of domestic violence are encouraged to contact the U.S. Embassy for assistance. The law in Oman does not specifically address domestic violence. However, charges may be brought under other statutes. Victims of domestic violence may file a complaint with the police, and reports indicate that police respond promptly and professionally. The government operates a domestic violence hotline and a shelter for victims.

For additional information please see Oman’s Penal Code and our Human Rights Report for Oman .

Dial 1100 to reach the government-operated domestic violence hotline.

Tourism : The tourism industry is generally well-regulated and rules with regard to best practices and safety inspections are regularly enforced. Hazardous areas/activities are identified with appropriate signage, and professional staff is typically on hand in support of organized activities. In the event of an injury, appropriate medical treatment is widely available throughout the country. Outside of a major metropolitan center, it may take more time for first responders and medical professionals to stabilize a patient and provide life-saving assistance. U.S. citizens are encouraged to purchase medical evacuation insurance .

Local Laws & Special Circumstances

Criminal Penalties: You are subject to local laws. If you violate local laws, even unknowingly, you may be expelled, arrested, or imprisoned. Individuals establishing a business or practicing a profession that requires additional permits or licensing should seek information from the competent local authorities, prior to practicing or operating a business.

Furthermore, some laws are also prosecutable in the U.S., regardless of local law. For examples, see our website on crimes against minors abroad and the Department of Justice website.

Arrest Notification : If you are arrested or detained, ask police or prison officials to notify the U.S. Embassy immediately. Omani authorities typically do not permit foreigners accused of crimes to leave the country while cases are open.

See our webpage for further information.

Carry your passport at all times, or you could be detained.

It is illegal to photograph certain buildings.

Alcohol and Drugs: You may be arrested for possession of alcohol or driving under the influence. Drinking is permitted in some international hotels, bars, homes, and some restaurants.

Penalties for possession, use, or trafficking in illegal drugs include lengthy jail sentences and heavy fines. Some prescription medications, such as narcotics, available in the United States may be illegal in Oman. Travelers should check the Oman Ministry of Health’s Medications and Travel webpage before importing prescription medications.

Motor Vehicle Violations: Traffic laws are strictly enforced and carry heavy penalties. Remote traffic cameras are extensively used to monitor speeding and stop light infractions.

Immigration officials, airports and other ports of entry and exit have ready access to information on traffic offenses, and violators cannot depart Oman unless all fines have been paid in full.

Personal Defamation Charges:

Using vulgar language or hand gestures can lead to personal defamation charges.
An accusation alone, regardless of who files it, can initiate a legal process.
U.S. citizens can usually resolve these cases with a formal apology and payment of damages to the aggrieved party.

Cultural Heritage Items: To avoid prosecution, check first with Omani authorities before taking “cultural heritage items” such as archaeological artifacts, meteorites, or stones.

Notary Services: All foreign public documents (Birth, Marriage, Death, Divorce, academic records, etc.) need to be apostilled for use in Oman. The U.S. Embassy in Oman cannot apostille any documents issued in the U.S. See our website for designated authorities in the United States. That can issue an apostille.

Employment in Oman: Although a common practice, it is illegal for Omani employers to retain your passport. Such retention could grant undue leverage to your employer in case of a dispute. U.S. passports are the property of the U.S. government.

The U.S. Embassy cannot intervene in labor disputes. At the beginning of any employment, obtain a contract that clearly states the terms of employment. Try to resolve disputes privately with your employer. If this fails, consult our list of lawyers .

Dress Code : Be sensitive to Islamic culture and do not wear sleeveless shirts, halter-tops, or shorts. Only wear athletic clothing in public when engaged in sports activities.

Currency : U.S. bills printed before 2006 are often not accepted. Local currency is easily available from ATMs or currency exchange counters.

Faith-Based Travelers: See our following webpages for details:

Faith-Based Travel Information
International Religious Freedom Report – see country reports
Human Rights Report – see country reports
Hajj Fact Sheet for Travelers
Best Practices for Volunteering Abroad

LGBTQI+ Travelers: Consensual same-sex sexual conduct is illegal and subject to a jail term of six months to three years. See our LGBTQI+ Travel Information page and section 6 of our Human Rights report for further details.

Travelers with Disabilities: The law in Oman prohibits discrimination against persons with physical, intellectual, or mental disabilities Expect accessibility to be limited in older buildings (including government buildings and schools), public transportation, and general infrastructure, and more common in newer medical facilities and public buildings in cities. Outside of urban areas, access is greatly reduced. Handicapped parking spaces are scarce.

Omanis will generally try to accommodate reasonable requests for assistance.

Students : See our Students Abroad page and FBI travel tips .

Women Travelers: See our travel tips for Women Travelers .

COVID-19 Testing: For general PCR testing and exiting Oman, various health clinics in Oman offer PCR tests with results within 72 hours as well as 24-hour and 3–6-hour options. PCR tests are at the expense of the individual/traveler. Prices vary by clinic and range from 20 – 40 OMR; surcharges often apply for expedited result processing within 24 hours or less. Drive up testing, walk-in tests, and tests by appointment are all available in Oman. Test result delivery varies by clinic: e-mail, text, and physical message are commonly used to communicate results.

COVID-19 Vaccines: The COVID-19 vaccine is available for U.S. citizens to receive in Oman. Please refer to the Omani Ministry of Health for additional information on vaccination registration.

Visit the FDA's website to learn more about FDA-approved vaccines in the United States.

For emergency services in Oman, dial 9999. Emergency hotlines are mostly Arabic-speaking. The U.S. Embassy has received reports from U.S. citizens who were unable to receive assistance due to language barriers.

Response times for ambulance services vary. Injured or seriously ill travelers should take a taxi or private vehicle to the nearest major hospital rather than wait for an ambulance.

Modern medical facilities and Western-style pharmacies are available. Local medical treatment varies from average to inadequate, depending on location.

Hospital emergency treatment is available.

We do not pay medical bills. Be aware that U.S. Medicare/Medicaid does not apply overseas. Most hospitals and doctors overseas do not accept U.S. health insurance.

Medical Insurance: Make sure your health insurance plan provides coverage overseas. Most care providers overseas only accept cash payments. See our webpage for more information on insurance overseas. Visit the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for more information on type of insurance you should consider before you travel overseas.

We strongly recommend supplemental insurance to cover medical evacuation.

Always carry your prescription medication in original packaging, along with your doctor’s prescription. Check with the Government of Oman to ensure the medication is legal in Oman.

Vaccinations : Be up-to-date on all vaccinations recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Further health information:

World Health Organization
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

Air Quality: Visit AirNow Department of State for information on air quality at U.S. Embassies and Consulates.

The U.S. Embassy maintains a list of doctors and hospitals . We do not endorse or recommend any specific medical provider or clinic.

Travel and Transportation

Road Conditions: Road conditions in cities and along major highways are good. Road conditions in rural areas range from good to poor. During rare instances of rain, roads are prone to flash flooding.

Travel between cities can be dangerous due to poor lighting, wandering livestock, and speeding drivers.

Public Transportation: Public transportation is generally safe, although vehicles may swerve to pick up passengers without warning.

Traffic Violations:

The following traffic violations may result in jail sentences, fines, and/or deportation:

driving without a license
running a red light
driving under the influence of alcohol
failure to wear a seat belt
talking on cell phones while driving (hands-free technology is allowed)
excessive speeding or overtaking another vehicle
failure to maintain a clean car

When involved in a traffic violation, cooperate with police officers and do not attempt to negotiate payment.

If you are involved in a traffic accident that involves injuries, death, or material damage to vehicles, do not move your vehicle until the police give you permission. Moving your car may be interpreted as an admission of guilt. For minor traffic accidents with no damage or injuries, you may move your vehicle to the side of the road.

Traffic Guidelines:

Traffic circles are common. The driver already in the circle always has priority.
Drivers flashing high beams are signaling that they want to pass.
Do not turn right on a red traffic signal.

Driving License Requirements:

Short-term visitors with a U.S. driver’s license may drive rental vehicles, but not privately registered cars.
Residents must have an Omani driver's license.
To obtain an Omani license, you must take a vision test and either have a U.S. license (with proof of being licensed for at least two years) or take a driving test.

Car Insurance:

Insure rental cars against death, injury, and loss or damage.

Residents may insure their vehicles outside the Sultanate; however, third party liability insurance must be purchased locally. For all traffic-related emergencies, call the Royal Oman Police at 9999. Have an Arabic speaker call when giving directions to a location, since English-speaking operators are not always available.

See our Road Safety page or the Royal Oman Police website for further information.

Aviation Safety Oversight: As there is no direct commercial air service to the United States by carriers registered in Oman, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has not assessed the Government of Oman’s Civil Aviation Authority for compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards. See the FAA’s safety assessment page for further information.

Maritime Travel: Mariners planning travel to Oman should also check for U.S. maritime advisories and alerts . Information may also be posted to the U.S. Coast Guard homeport website and the NGA broadcast warnings .

Catering to vacations and relaxation stays, Oman’s Tourist Visa permits stays for up to 30-days. Perfect for holidays, sightseeing, visiting friends/relatives, short-term medical treatment, or attending regional conferences/events as a visitor, the Tourist Visa offers flexibility and value.

Tourist Visa

To be eligible, provide confirmed hotel reservations, travel booking confirmations, and proof of return travel when applying online.

Business Visa

For attending meetings, trade shows, job interviews, or consulting projects, the 30-day Oman Business Visa suits Qatar residents employed locally needing to make work-related trips. Supporting documentation like Oman-issued invitation letters is key when submitting your application.

Where longer durations in Oman are needed, applying for a Visit Visa allows stays of up to 1 month or 3 months depending on eligibility. It can be used in case of family emergencies, employment secondments, extended stays for exploration, non-urgent medical care or, religious pilgrimage.

As evident, Qatar passport holders and expatriates with valid Qatar residence status can utilize omanv isa.org ‘s fast online platform to obtain their preferred Oman visa category for easy entry clearance pre-travel.

Who Can Apply for an Oman Visa from Qatar

Oman’s visa policy facilitates Qatar citizens and expatriate residents to secure visas through an easy application process. Hence, anyone living in Qatar on work visas, family dependent visas, investor visas, student visas, or other legal temporary residence permits can easily acquire Oman access online.

The fundamental requirements are holding authentic Qatar-issued residence documentation coupled with a valid passport. omanvisa.org simply needs clients to attach scans or photos of their Qatar ID card/passport data page when entering tourist, business, or visit applications.

In addition to that, foreign citizens gain eligibility to apply after taking up bonafide residency and employment in Qatar. For example, Indian, Bangladeshi, Filipino, or European expats in Qatar frequently use their Qatar work/residency status to successfully get approved for the Oman visa category of their choice through omanvisa.org

People from Other Citizenships Who Live in Qatar

Foreign citizens living legally and working indefinitely in Qatar can also use their residential status in Doha to obtain Oman eVisas by applying online. Pakistani engineers on Qatar work permits or Sudanese teachers on skilled employment visas are eligible to lodge applications by attaching proof of their Qatar residential status alongside passport copies.

Like Qataris and Arabs resident in Qatar, expatriates simply upload scans or photos of valid Qatar-issued visas, Emirates IDs, or residence permits when completing omanvisa.org ’s application. Subject to meeting standard entry conditions and background verifications, those with bonafide Qatar residence rights can expect high approval rates.

Requirements to Apply for a Visa for Oman from Qatar

While requirements may slightly vary between differing Oman visa categories, core supporting documents for Qatar residents and citizens include:

A clear, colored copy of your valid Qatar Resident ID card showing validity covering your Oman visit period and tying back to your provided passport information
A copy of your Passport’s data/identity page, to make sure your travel document has a minimum 6 months validity and adequate blank pages
A recently taken close-up photo meeting Oman’s visa photo dimensions taken against a plain white background
Verifiable flight booking documentation displaying your planned entry and exit flights to/from Oman
Hotel, hostel, or cruise accommodation proof issued by Oman providers for tourism stays
An original letter of invitation from a registered Omani entity for business visits
Sufficient financial means to fund your intended Oman duration such as previous bank statements

When preparing your application through OmanVisa.org, check that all supporting document scans or digital photos are legible and clear to avoid processing delays.

Visa Processing Time and Approval for Visa to Oman from Qatar

One of OmanVisa.org’s key advantages is expedited processing giving Qatar applicants more freedom in confirming travel plans. Upon submitting all the requirements and finding it was sufficient, applications are generally processed within 1 to 3 business days.

Sometimes even faster approvals are possible within 24 hours subject to visa volumes and verifications. Applicants receive notification the instant an outcome is decided through their login dashboard and email.

Multiple entry and 60-day validity visas are also obtainable for frequent Oman travelers giving added convenience. As OmanVisa.org utilizes advanced background checks before granting online approvals, acceptance rates for eligible Qatar submissions remain reassuringly high.

Final Steps Upon Visa Approval

When your Oman visa issued through OmanVisa.org gets approved, undertake important next steps:

Check your application dashboard and email inbox for your eVisa attachment accessible as a PDF file. Download or print a hard copy.
Carefully validate all main details on your visa – full name, nationality, visa category/type match what you submitted initially. Closely check granted validity dates.
Contact OmanVisa.org support urgently if you come across inaccuracies requiring corrections before traveling.
Have your eVisa digital copy or printed attachment ready to display to officials at Muscat International Airport coupled with your valid passport.
Note and follow any special conditions annotated on your issued visa around visa conversion, entry dates, and permitted stay durations.
Lastly, enjoy an amazing visit to the Sultanate of Oman!

In Ras al Jinz, watch endangered Green Turtles lay their eggs on the beaches, or take a dhow cruise in the calm waters of Khor Ash Sham and see dolphins play.
Back on dry land, the Western Hajaar Mountains are perfect for hiking, and stunning vistas await you from the magnificent Wadi Nakhr canyon.
Bustling souks offer a variety of trinkets and treasures, and no visit to Oman is complete without a trip to Muscat’s Muttrah Souq, where you can buy Bedu jewellery, Frankincense, and handcrafted gifts.

Oman announces Eid Al Fitr 2024 holiday for public and private sectors

Oman sets work resumption for April 14 following celebrations

Dubai: Oman has officially announced the Eid Al Fitr holiday dates for both the public and private sectors. Celebrations are set to begin on Tuesday, Ramadan 29, 1445 AH, falling on April 9, 2024, and will extend until Saturday, April 13, 2024.

Work will resume on Sunday, April 14, 2024, adhering to Oman’s Sunday to Thursday workweek.

According to the Ministry of Labour, employers could arrange for employees to work during this holiday period if necessary, provided that they offer suitable compensation for the holiday work.

Astronomical data suggest a high probability that Eid Al Fitr will be observed on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, according to Abdulwahab al Busaidy, Head of the Observatory at the Oman Astronomical Society.

This prediction, based on the expected visibility of the crescent moon shortly after sunset on April 9, is consistent with observations and expectations in neighbouring and other Islamic countries. Al Busaidy expected that most Muslim countries would mark Eid Al Fitr on April 10.
