The Experience
Before You Go
Carry your passport and booking confirmation
Border checks and park admissions are enforced—keep your passport and confirmation accessible at pickup.
Sun protection is critical
Bring a broad-brim hat, high-SPF sunscreen and sunglasses—the coastal sun is intense even on cooler days.
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
Forts and heritage sites have uneven stone steps and short gravel walks—supportive shoes prevent slips.
Avoid unsupervised swimming
Beaches on the Gulf of Oman can have stronger currents than the Arabian Gulf—swim only where lifeguards or guides specify.
