High season in Oman with pleasant temperatures ranging from about 15°C to 30°C. Omanis and tourists prefer the cooler temperatures that October brings. It’s a perfect time to enjoy nature walks and hikes with the fall harvest of olives, walnuts, and pomegranates.
Ramadan dates vary every year, for 2025, Ramadan is expected from the end of Feb to the end of March (Eid al-Fitr is expected on 31st March). During Ramadan, most restaurants close during the day, but hotels have food available for guests in private.
May to September is best for indoor activities and turtle-watching
Oman’s summer months are quite difficult for tourists unless you’re heading to Salalah in the Dhofar region or Jebel Shams & Jabal Al Akhdar. The hot temperatures drive visitors indoors to learn about the history and culture of Oman at museums like Bait Al Zubair, the National Museum of Oman, and the Oman Across Ages Museum. Cool off while shopping at Oman Avenues Mall or Mall of Muscat.
By September, cooler fall weather arrives in the desert. Wildlife watchers and beachgoers should venture to Ras Al Jinz Beach to witness the hatching of baby turtles at Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve.
