We'll give it to you straight: Oman is a desert country, and that means that the weather is hot, sunny, and dry almost all the time. The peak season is from October to March, the months that have the lowest and most pleasant temperatures.
This peak season is perfect for nearly every activity you might want to do in Oman. It's a great time to hit the beach, go camping, or explore the desert. Additionally, this season generally coincides with exciting outdoor festivals.
Those who are visiting Salalah may want to consider coming in the summer months between June and September. This region sees increased rain during this period, causing temperatures to decrease to more comfortable levels.
The shoulder season, April to May, brings lowered costs and the chance to see roses bloom. Aside from that, though, most travelers will still want to visit during peak season.
