Mid-range travelers might spend around $150–$250 per day, while luxury travelers could spend upwards of $300–$500 per day.
How many days are enough for Oman?
For a general tour, 3 to 7 days is ideal to explore major attractions, including Muscat, the desert, and the mountains. If you're focusing on specific areas or want to explore more thoroughly, you might consider 10–12 days.
Which part of Oman is best to visit?
The best parts of Oman to visit are diverse, each offering unique experiences. Muscat, the capital city, is known for its rich cultural and historical landmarks, such as the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque and the Royal Opera House. For a unique desert adventure, Wahiba Sands is a vast, beautiful desert that offers an authentic experience of the Arabian desert. If you are interested in history, Nizwa is a must-visit, with its famous fort and vibrant souks.

Is Oman cheap or expensive?
Oman is generally considered more expensive than some other destinations in the Middle East, but it offers a variety of options for all budgets. Accommodation, dining, and transportation can be pricey, especially in touristy areas. However, it’s possible to travel on a budget by choosing more affordable options.
What to wear in Oman as a woman?
Women should dress modestly when in Oman. It’s recommended to wear clothing that covers the shoulders and knees. Lightweight, loose-fitting clothes are ideal for the warm climate. While swimwear is acceptable at hotel pools and beaches, it’s important to cover up when away from these areas. A headscarf is not mandatory for tourists, but it is a common practice in certain places, especially in more traditional areas.

Good to know
Travel tips from the peoplewho run the trips.
Pick a question on the left. We answer it the way we would answer it on the phone — with the numbers, and with what we would actually do.
When to go
The comfortable half of the year runs October to April: 20–28 °C in Luxor and Aswan, which is what open-deck sailing and three hours inside a temple actually require.
Daytime20–28 °C
CrowdsPeak Nov–Feb
PricesHighest Dec–Jan
- March and April keep the weather and lose the crowds — the best value window.
- June to August is much cheaper, but afternoons pass 42 °C and excursions run at dawn.
- Christmas and New Year need a 50% deposit, because the cruisers ask us for one too.
Our tip
Book three to four months out for November to February. For a dahabiya, make it four — they carry twelve people and the good cabins go first.
Visas and entry
Most nationalities — US, UK, EU, Australian and Canadian included — get a 30-day tourist visa on arrival, or online as an e-Visa before they fly.
VisaOn arrival
CostUS$25
Valid30 days
- Your passport needs six months’ validity from the day you land.
- The e-Visa is worth doing if you land late — it saves the queue at the bank window.
- We meet you before passport control and handle the paperwork with you.
Our tip
Carry the $25 in cash. The visa window at Cairo takes dollars and gives change in Egyptian pounds, and the card machine is not always working.
Money and tipping
Hotels, cruisers and restaurants take Visa and Mastercard. Markets, tips and small cafés are cash. We quote in US dollars and can invoice in EUR, GBP or AUD.
CardsHotels & cruisers
CashMarkets & tips
QuotesUS dollars
- Tipping is customary, never obligatory, and never inside your price.
- As a guide: $8–10 a day for your guide, $5 for your driver.
- Small notes are worth more than large ones — change is scarce everywhere.
Our tip
Change a little at the airport and the rest at your hotel. Street exchange offices quote well and pay badly.
What to pack
Light cotton for the days, one layer for the evenings, and shoes you can walk a temple in. Everything else you can buy here for less than you paid at home.
DaysLight cotton
EveningsOne warm layer
SitesClosed shoes
- Shoulders and knees covered for mosques — a scarf does the job for both.
- A hat and high-factor sun cream matter more than anything else on this list.
- Deck evenings on the Nile get genuinely cool from December to February.
Our tip
Leave room in the case. Cotton, spices and a hand-made galabeya cost a fraction of the airport price in Khan El Khalili, and your guide will tell you the real one.
Getting around
Cairo to Luxor is an hour by air and ten by road, so almost every itinerary flies it. Between Luxor and Aswan the river is the road, and your room moves with you.
Cairo → Luxor1 hour, by air
Luxor → Aswan3–4 nights
TransfersAll included
- Every transfer, domestic flight and entrance fee sits inside your quote.
- A private car and driver waits for you — no taxis, no haggling, no surprises.
- The sleeper train exists and we will book it, but it is slower and not cheaper.
Our tip
Sail Luxor to Aswan rather than the reverse if you can choose. You go upstream against the current, which means slower, longer afternoons on deck.
