This UAE National Day, Oman invites travelers to take a refreshing break from the everyday and embrace a long weekend filled with immersive experiences. Whether you’re craving an adventure in nature or a tranquil escape surrounded by coastal beauty, Oman offers the perfect balance — all just a short journey away.
Mountains, Fjords, and Open Skies
Home to some of the region’s most impressive natural landscapes, Oman promises memorable outdoor adventures for every traveler. In Musandam, guests can cruise through emerald-green fjords while spotting dolphins or feel the thrill of soaring over the sea on the world’s longest overwater zipline. Meanwhile, Jabal Akhdar offers cooler highland temperatures, ancient mountain villages, and scenic hiking routes through terraced farms and fragrant groves of pomegranates and roses — all against the backdrop of dramatic cliffs and deep wadis.
Getting There is Easy
One of Oman’s biggest advantages for UAE residents is its proximity. Whether flying directly into Muscat or crossing by road through border points like Hatta–Al Wajajah or Dibba, getting to Oman is quick and hassle-free. A streamlined visa process and pleasant winter weather make the journey even more convenient for families, residents, and those looking for a smooth, last-minute getaway. With a quiet charm and premium hospitality, Oman offers incredible value for an unforgettable long weekend.
Culture Meets Coast in Muscat
Oman’s capital, Muscat, is where culture and coastline come together in perfect rhythm. Explore Muttrah Souq — one of the oldest marketplaces in the region — where incense, lanterns, and handmade jewelry line the bustling pathways. Then head to Muttrah Corniche for sunset views over the harbor, a stroll along the waterfront, or a bite at one of the many seaside cafés. For ocean lovers, the nearby Daymaniyat Islands offer pristine waters for snorkeling, diving, or just unwinding on secluded beaches.
Closee by, but a World Away
This long weekend, escape the predictable and reconnect with nature, culture, and adventure — all just hours away. Whether it’s kayaking through mountain-framed bays, hiking to scenic
viewpoints, or discovering the warmth of Omani hospitality, a trip to Oman promises memories that will last long after you return.
