The Grand Mosque, Muttrah Souq, Nizwa's forts, turquoise wadis and Wahiba Sands — just an hour's flight away, with hotels and private transfers all in one price.
A Muscat & Oman tour package from the UAE typically bundles return flights from Dubai (around 1 hour direct), a 4★ hotel in Muscat with daily breakfast, airport meet & greet with private transfers, and a guided Muscat city tour — from AED 1,799 per person for a short weekend break, or AED 2,799 for the full 5-day trip. Highlights include the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, Muttrah Souq and Corniche, Al Alam Palace, Nizwa's forts and souks, and — as optional add-ons — Jabal Akhdar's mountain villages and Wadi Shab's turquoise pools, plus overnight desert camping in Wahiba Sands. Most UAE residents can apply for an Oman eVisa online, and UAE nationals travel visa-free.
One neighbouring country, four very different trips — from a quick Muscat weekend, to the full 5-day classic with optional mountain and wadi excursions, an overnight desert safari in Wahiba Sands, or a Khareef-season escape to green, misty Salalah. Every package includes flights, hotels, transfers and guided touring, or we'll build a custom itinerary.

Oman rewards a cooler-season visit for Muscat, Nizwa and the desert, while Salalah flips the calendar — its lush Khareef season runs through the summer, when the rest of the Gulf is at its hottest.
| Season | Months | Weather | Why go |
|---|---|---|---|
| Muscat & north — cool season | Oct – Apr | Warm 22–30°C, comfortable for touring | Best overall — Muscat, Nizwa, Jabal Akhdar & Wahiba Sands at their finest |
| Muscat & north — summer | May – Sep | Hot 35–42°C, very warm inland | Lower prices; early-morning or hotel-based itineraries recommended |
| Salalah Khareef season | Jun – Sep | Mild 24–28°C, misty & green | Best for Salalah — waterfalls, fog and lush hillsides while the rest of the Gulf swelters |
| Salalah — dry season | Oct – May | Warm 25–32°C, dry and sunny | Quieter beaches and frankincense sites without the Khareef crowds |
The sweet spot for the classic route: comfortable temperatures for the Grand Mosque, Muttrah Souq, Nizwa's forts and the Wahiba Sands desert camp.
While Muscat is at its hottest, Salalah's Khareef season brings monsoon mist, waterfalls and green hillsides — a completely different side of Oman.
The wadis stay swimmable most of the year, though cooler months make the walk in and out far more comfortable.
