The climate of Oman is hot and dry, with little to no rainfall throughout most of the year. The country also battles the Shamal, which are intense, dust-driven winds. These can be very intense and tend to stir up mass amounts of dust throughout Oman’s regions.

The summer temperatures can reach up to the high 30’s Celsius, with cooler temperatures at night. Throughout late autumn and early winter, temperatures are quite enjoyable, in the teens. Oman receives the most rainfall in winter from thunderstorms and intense cloud build-up.

  • Muscat – The capital and largest metropolitan city, has peak temperatures in the low-40’s. The climate is very dry and barren, with the region receiving its annual 10 centimeters of rainfall in December.
  • Seeb – A highly populated coastal city in Oman, is home to some of the country’s best temperatures. July is the hottest month in Seeb and January is the coolest. June is the driest month while September is the wettest.

Oman is a relatively safe country, with few terrorist attacks to date.

The country faces minimal street crime, and violent crimes are rare. The Royal Oman Police have a good reputation for being very efficient in their duties to the public.

Though the crime rates are low in most of the country, exercise caution. Watch local news and avoid public gatherings or protests.

Dubbed as Oman’s, “natural water park,” Snake Canyon is an adventure built for the bravest of explorers. Nestled in the Wadi Bani Awf, its rocks have been smoothed down by rushing water in the canyon. The slippery water hole attracts rock climbers, canyon divers and repellers.

The Canyon was shaped by nature and is one of the most exquisite, hidden gems in the entire country of Oman.

Though a beautiful and unique adventure, flash floods are common. The trek to Snake Canyon is not for the fainthearted. If you do decide to take on the challenge, make sure you prepared.

Oman can be difficult to pack for. With so much to do and see, it’s important to make sure you have what you need.

  • Appropriate Clothing – It is important to remember that this is a Muslim country. Tourists should respect the country’s culture by wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees. If you plan on visiting any mosques, head scarfs may also be required.
  • Lighter-Colored Clothes – Temperatures are relatively warm throughout most regions. White is a recommended color to help keep you cool.
  • Power Converter – Bring a converter if you’re planning on using any electronics that are not Omani. Oman plugs are a type G 200V and are different from those in the United States.

Canadian consular services can help travellers with many issues they may face including passport services. Once in Oman, the information for the Canadian Embassy is:

Consulate of Canada to Oman
7th Floor, Getco Tower, Way # 2728 CBD Area,
Muscat, Oman
Telephone: (968) 2479 4928/2470 2133

Customer Reviews

Passport Health – Travel Vaccines for Oman

Overall rating: 5 stars – 3 reviews
★★★★★
“Very good experience“
“This is a great service. A general physician doesn’t keep up with what vaccines are required for all destinations, whereas this place does. They offer all vaccines needed, along with helpful information for your destination, in this case Oman. Other reviews say that the vaccines are more expensive, but they are in fact the same price as from the pharmacy. Definitely check them out if you are going to be traveling, but leave enough time for multiple visits for injections”
