Can I travel during Ramadan?
Yes, travelling to Oman during Ramadan is possible and offers a unique opportunity to experience the country’s traditions, culture, and hospitality.
During the holy month, daily routines change, with many locals fasting from sunrise to sunset. Visitors should be respectful by avoiding eating, drinking, or smoking in public areas during fasting hours and by dressing modestly.
Hotels, restaurants, and tourist attractions continue to welcome visitors, although opening hours may be adjusted. After sunset, Oman comes alive with evening gatherings, traditional meals, and a special atmosphere that offers insight into local culture.
