The Sultanate of Oman has one of the oldest civilizations in the Arabian Peninsula, dating back
thousands of years with notable periods of greatness in the ancient world and in medieval
times.
Like other great civilizations, Oman faded from prominence - until the recent
resurgence under the wise and able leadership of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said. All along,
the country was active in many ways and has an interesting history that is still relevant today
and has left many tangible traces in prominent landmarks and a highly developed culture.

view of traffic offences in which alcohol is involved and fines may be imposed.

GENERAL : The interior of Oman has some spectacular mountain scenery and
colorful village environs to offer the outdoor explorer. The beaches have excellent quality
sand grains. The countryside is dotted with large forts dating from the 17th and 18th
centuries. Tarmac road networks link the remotest areas. Motels in the interior offer
comfortable overnight lodging for those desiring a base. In short, there is a great variety of
exploring possibilities both, for the day-tripper and for the overnight camper.
We cannot,
however, overemphasize the need to respect local villagers and their customs in our sightseeing
adventures. The ability to explore freely is a privilege that must not be misused. Some
principles of etiquette are outlined below. Please follow them carefully so that no one causes
offences and we can all continue to enjoy the impressive countryside.
GREETINGS : The people of Oman offer a very warm welcome to guests. You will
find that traditional Arab greetings are still widely observed and it is good manners to
exchange greetings and handshakes when meeting Omanis. These courtesies should be observed in
commercial dealings (e.g. shopping in the souq) and on a personal level.
LITTER : Remove all your litter when leaving a picnic or campsite.

Women in particular, do not like being photographed. It is forbidden to take pictures of
military facilities, borders and airports. Observe ‘NO PHOTOGRAPHY’ signs.
TIME : Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is plus 4 hours
VILLAGE ETIQUETTE : Drive slowly through villages to avoid raising too much
dust. Watch out for children & animals. Be courteous to villagers - a few words of greetings or
a smile is only polite. Do not go into a home without being invited. Remember certain areas of
the village may be restricted to women only. This must be strictly observed.
WATER/SWIMMING : The falaj is usually a vital source of water for nearby
villages. Do not foul, block or damage falaj walls or dams. Do not swim or allow your children
to play in water immediately above a village, as it may be the village’s drinking water. One
can take the opportunity to swim at the beaches. Driving on beaches is prohibited.
