Practical tips for Oman
- Renting a 4x4 vehicle is the most practical way to explore Oman, as rugged wadis and mountain passes like Jebel Akhdar require four-wheel drive by law.
- The local currency is the Omani Rial (OMR), which is tightly valued; credit cards are widely accepted in cities, but carry cash for small souqs and rural stalls.
- Oman is consistently ranked among the safest countries in the world, with very low crime rates and exceptionally helpful locals.
Fun fact about Oman
Oman is the legendary source of the world's finest frankincense, which was once considered more valuable than gold along ancient trade routes.
