We are heading deep into the desert so wear comfortable clothes.  We suggest lightweight knee length shorts or trousers and loose fitting t-shirts or a shirt.   A wide brimmed hat can help with keeping you cool.  We suggest closed in shoes as the desert sand can get quite hot but in many cases walking sandals will do fine.

Small towns and villages

Where we visit “local” restaurants, or villages or out of the way areas we suggest wearing modest clothes while in public.  Knee length shorts and loose-fitting short sleeved tops are fine; short shorts and vest style t-shirts are not recommended as wearing these may offend our hosts.

Sultan Qaboos Mosque (should you visit it)

Ladies should wear a loose long-sleeved blouse and long skirt/full length trousers; they should also cover their hair.  Men should wear full length trousers and a loose shirt.  You will require to remove your footwear whilst inside so it’s a good idea to wear easily removable shoes.
