Oman
October Holidays

Oman evokes images of sweeping sand dunes, crescent-shaped coastlines washed in white and aquamarine waters with mountainous borders that carve their way through the landscape and frame this adventure-rich country. Our experts can create a bespoke itinerary ensuring everyone from first-time Oman explorers to seasoned travellers can experience all that this incredible country has to offer. Think snorkelling the coastlines; water sports aplenty and relaxing to the max with pampering spa treatments.

Why visit Oman in October?

An Oman October holiday will see clear skies, highs of 30°C and markets full of the rewards of a successful autumn harvest (we’re talking pomegranates, grapes and more olives than you could fathom). This is the perfect place to sweep away the looming colder months in search of something different. For more on the weather throughout the year, visit our guide page on the best time to visit Oman.

What to do on Oman October holidays?

Enjoy an overnight stay at a desert camp for a night under the stars and snake your way through the Jebel Akhdar's mountains on the serpentine road which passes richly hued rock formations patterned with dark iron ore and emerald-green copper oxide that resemble the Bebinca cake of the Goan neighbours across the pond. There is something for every desired Oman bucket list and travellers will be reassured that this (somewhat) cooler climate is perfect for walking, swimming, navigating souks and more.

While in Oman in October, you could also take a dip to refresh in the pools of Wadi Bani Khalid, an oasis found just north of Al Kamil town; drive through the Wahiba Sands desert on an exhilarating 4x4 safari; tantalise the tastebuds as you dine on traditional Omani dishes, with rice, fresh vegetables and perfectly seasoned spice mixes; and tour the ancient pirate port of Sur accompanied by a knowledgeable local guide, knowing that this Oman holiday will be one unlike any other.
