What's the best time to travel to Oman?

Hi, I’m planning a trip to Oman, probably the first half of February to avoid the extreme heat and Ramadan. But after checking various weather sites and reading accounts, I’m a bit worried about rain, which can apparently be frequent and heavy in February. I’d love to hear from travelers or locals who’ve been there recently. What would be the ideal month to explore Oman without extreme heat or rain? November? Also, it’s best to avoid visiting the wadis on weekends—does that mean Saturday and Sunday?

Thanks in advance for your tips!

Hey

I went to Dhofar (Salalah region) during All Saints' Day, and the weather was perfect. Just my two cents! 😉

Hi there,

I spent 15 days there in December 2015, and it was a fantastic month. No issues with rain (or heat) on our end during that time. For weekends, it's worth checking, but they might run from Friday to Saturday. I don’t remember exactly.

Have a great trip!

Hi there, Thanks for your message. Have a great evening,

Hi Virginie, Late reply—sorry! We went to Oman during the first two weeks of February 2025. It’s really the perfect time: temperatures are very comfortable, no rain at all, and not too many tourists since it’s the start of the season. Even on weekends, the wadis weren’t crowded at all. Have a great trip!

Hello, Thanks so much for your encouraging message! I can’t wait to be there ☺. Have a great day, Virginie
