Oman is a country of endless deserts, ancient traditions, and warm hospitality. It is a popular tourist destination that attracts travelers from all over the world.

Although Oman is hospitable to visitors, it is important to respect local culture and customs. We have identified some common tourist mistakes to avoid in Oman to ensure an unforgettable visit to this beautiful country," writes NewsBytes.

Do not show any aggression

Any manifestation of aggression is frowned upon in Oman, so it is very important to remain calm and collected. Swearing, offensive gestures, or impatience are illegal and can lead to prosecution. Verbal abuse or aggression toward others is unacceptable, and even being accused of being annoyed can get you in trouble. In short, it is very important to maintain respect and patience and avoid confrontational behavior.

Don't talk about the Sultan's personal life

In Oman, it is not customary to talk about the Sultan's personal life. It is against the law and may offend the locals. It can also get you into trouble with the Royal Omani Police. Therefore, it is better to show respect and not discuss such issues. For your information, the current Sultan of Oman is Haitham bin Tariq Al Said.

Do not dress inappropriately

As Oman is a conservative Islamic country, women should dress modestly when traveling. This means that shoulders, breasts, and legs should be covered, and tight clothing should not be worn. Loose-fitting clothing is best for feeling comfortable in hot weather. When visiting mosques, men should wear long pants, and women should cover their heads to show respect for Omani culture.

Do not speak loudly on the streets

Omanis are known for their friendliness and hospitality to visitors. They love to meet new people and often gather in special places called "Majilis" or "Sabla" to socialize and share news. Unlike some other cultures, it is not customary to gather in the streets and talk in high-pitched voices, as this can disturb neighbors and the elderly.

Do not take pictures of Omanis without their consent

Taking pictures of Omanis without their express permission can be considered an intrusion. It is always better to ask permission before taking a picture of someone, especially if they are the main subject of the photo. Otherwise, you could get into trouble. The husband of the woman who is in your frame, even if you didn't plan it, may object to you.
