Unfortunately, a trip to Oman is not inexpensive. The most significant costs are lodging and transportation/tours. The cheapest hotel rooms cost about 12–15 OR per night (£20–25/US$30–40), with mid-range hotels costing at least twice that, and top-end hotels costing anywhere from 75 OR (£120/$200) and upwards.
Oman is known for its ancient aflaj oases irrigation scheme, terraced orchards (Jebel Akhdar), adobe fortresses, numerous mosques, wadis (stream valleys), dhows (traditional Arabian sailing ships), meteorites, and the Sultan's yacht, Al Said, which is the world's third-largest yacht.
We recommend allocating 10 nights for a leisurely exploration of Oman. This will give you enough time to see all of the big sights, including Muscat, the Al Hajdar mountains, the many beautiful Wadis, and the must-see Wahiba Sands desert.
There are many amazing tourist places in Oman suited for families, especially kids.

Between October and April is an ideal time to take Oman tours to enjoy these amazing summer activities.
At least you need an average of 7 to 10 days to explore all the amazing, beautiful places and water activities in Oman, including desert safaris and historical tours.
Begin by getting to know the rich Muscat culture, strolling through its lively markets and seeing some of the well-known places such as Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque and Royal Opera House. After that, take a trip into the expansive Wahiba desert for a thrilling dune bashing escapade plus a glimpse into real Bedouin existence. Finally, conclude your stay at Shangri-La’s Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa where you can take pleasure in flawless beaches, indulge yourself in spa therapies and savor delectable meals while gazing at the awe-inspiring Omani coastlines which are very stunning!
