What to pack for Oman in the summer

Oman experiences extremely hot and dry summers, with temperatures often exceeding 40 degrees Celsius.

Therefore, it is important to pack lightweight and breathable clothing to stay cool and comfortable in the intense heat. Opt for loose-fitting cotton and linen fabrics that allow for maximum airflow and help wick away sweat.

It is advisable to bring sun protective clothing such as wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and light-colored long-sleeved shirts to shield yourself from the harsh sun rays. Don't forget to pack swimwear for enjoying the beautiful beaches and water activities in Oman. Additionally, remember to pack appropriate footwear such as comfortable sandals or breathable sneakers for exploring the diverse landscapes of Oman.

While modest dress is generally favored in Omani culture, it is important to respect local customs by avoiding revealing clothing and opting for conservative attire, particularly when visiting religious sites or mosques.
