Useful advice for travelling to Oman (OM)

Cheap flights to Oman are a great opportunity to explore the exotic and distant Sultanate of Oman. In this Arab country, you will be able to observe never-before-seen architectural masterpieces, take a trip in the desert, visit oases and mountains, ride a camel, or even watch dolphins, whales, and sea turtles. Before you go out, you should try and understand this exotic jewel of a country better to prepare for your journey.

Preparing for the trip

Lithuanian citizens will need to acquire a visa to visit Oman; only those with diplomatic, service, or special passports are free to arrive without one. A one-time visa will be issued in the airport for 20 Omani rials, while a long-term tourist visa will cost 50 rials.

Before you head out, you will need to get vaccinated against yellow fever in the case of you arriving through infected territories. Otherwise, you will only need to acquire some anti-malaria medication, get vaccinated against hepatitis A and B, and renew your vaccinations against diphtheria and tetanus if that is necessary. After arriving, you should be wary of getting infected with typhoid fever and be careful to frequently wash your hands, eat safely and drink only bottled water.

Transportation and travel charges

The Omani public transport system is poorly developed, but you still will be able to visit main cities using a bus. Sightseeing objects will be further reached in a white-orange taxi vehicle or a minibus. In the latter, you will need to share your trip with fifteen other passengers. There is also a possibility of renting a car in Oman, or you could always take the only fast ferry ride from Muscat to Khasab.

You can pay for your purchases using the official local currency, the Omani rial (OMR). One rial is equal to approximately 0.43 euro. You will order three meals in an average local restaurant for 5 rials. Public transport tickets cost 0.30 rials, while a one kilometre long taxi ride will cost you approximately 0.20.
