What clothing should I wear on a holiday to Oman?
With high temperatures throughout the year loose comfortable cotton clothing is recommended. A scarf, shawl or similar is also useful to bring as it will both offer protection from the sun but also offer warmth during the evening. In public places and when visiting religious sites, modest clothing should be worn and women will need to cover their heads.
