Oman

International > Asia

Description

One of the easiest countries to travel around in the Middle East and North Africa. Safe and friendly. There is more rock than you can imagine (almost all limestone). The mid-winter climate is perfect.

Getting There

For the main "proper" Oman region, fly into Muscat, or fly to Dubai and drive into Oman (may be cheaper and more flexible).

For North-West Oman and Musandam, fly into Dubai and drive.

[Hide Comment] Little late, but best time to climb is winter. Depending on where you are, fall or spring as well. Summer temps average around 117f/47c on the interior and 90-95/32-35 on the coast (but way more humid). Temps in the winter average about 75f/24c Jun 20, 2019

[Hide Comment] Anyone have advice on finding climbing partners or a guide service to do some sport climbing in Oman? I'll only be there for a week and my traveling buddies are lame (don't climb at all) Dec 8, 2019
