FROM THE EVERYDAY RIGHT INTO OMANI TRADITION

Dates: February 17 - 27, 2026

A total of 11 days (9 full days of experiences and 2 travel (half) days

Small group of travelers (4 - 8 people)
Estimated cost (without flights): 39.000 CZK (about 1.600 EUR) / person

Ramadan in Oman is one of the calmest and most magical times of the year.
The country slows down, the atmosphere softens, and values such as tradition, family, neighbourhood unity, and generosity come to the forefront.

In 2026, Ramadan begins on 17 February and you have a unique chance to experience its first days right in Oman.

You can look forward to a rich and colourful program filled with nature, mountains, deserts, oases, and history, just like during the regular dates, but with the added depth that this special time brings.

During Ramadan, local people do not eat or drink during the day, so it is recommended to avoid eating in public. You can take on the challenge and fast together with the locals, or simply eat discreetly from your own supplies. After sunset, we will enjoy shared dinners in restaurants or as part of our accommodation.

Oman in its most colourful form

Each day takes us into a different world. Mountains, sea, ancient towns, mysterious beehive tombs, canyons, oases, and traditional desert cities with sand-coloured forts. Stunning nature, unique views, and stories hidden in clay houses, stone alleys, and deep mountain valleys.

This journey is designed for nature lovers and travellers who enjoy variety, regardless of age.
The program is flexible. More demanding activities are always optional.

We will travel by car between locations, and if you prefer not to join a hike, you can enjoy a slower pace and simply relax in beautiful surroundings.

A return low-cost flight can be purchased for up to 9,000 CZK. Due to rising prices, I recommend buying flights as soon as possible.
If you fly on a different flight than the rest of the group, you can join us directly in Muscat.

Included in the estimated cost:

  • Accommodation in verified guesthouses and traditional houses.
    (Price is based on double rooms. A single room can be arranged for approx. double the accommodation cost.)

  • Transport in Oman by 4x4 car

  • Care and guiding throughout the entire journey

  • Part of the meals (about half), provided within selected accommodations

Not included:

  • Flights — I will help you choose and book them

  • Travel insurance — arranged individually by each participant
  • Entry fees and local guide (for safety on certain challenging hikes)
  • Meals in restaurants (usually up to 200 CZK/8 EUR per person per meal)
  • Drinks and snacks for trips (bought in local markets)
  • Taxi in Muscat

Note: I am not a travel agency and do not sell tours under Act No. 159/1999 Coll. Each participant pays their own expenses, and I organise and guide the journey as a self-employed professional under the licence "Operation of a travel agency and guiding services in tourism."

Why is Ramadan the ideal time to travel to Oman?

  • The country becomes calmer, kinder, and even more welcoming.

  • Nightlife comes alive — traditional dinners, markets, cultural atmosphere.

  • Locals are exceptionally open and hospitable during Ramadan.

  • A great opportunity to experience the culture up close. Not as a tourist, but as a guest.

  • Ideal weather: warm days and pleasant evenings.

Our journey through Oman

Together we will explore a land where wild nature, ancient history, and the kindness of local people meet. Our days will be full of discovery, new experiences, and also space for slowing down, breathing, and listening to ourselves and the world around us.

🏚 Ancient clay villages. Walk through abandoned mud houses where every step echoes centuries of history.

🌴 Traditional mountain village. Overnight in a UNESCO-protected area with an ancient irrigation system; enjoy the sunset over the canyon.

🏡 400-year-old heritage house. Taste traditions and culture in a home transformed into a living museum.

🏞 Clay houses beneath a dramatic canyon. Stay at the bottom of a majestic gorge with views of Oman's highest peak.

🏛 Mysterious beehive tombs. Explore structures more than 4,000 years old and listed by UNESCO.

🥾 Famous mountain hike. Hike along the rocky face of "Oman's Grand Canyon," pass through silent mountain villages, and absorb the peace and power of the mountains.

🛍 Traditional market. Stroll through a market full of spices, fresh fruit, traders' voices, and the sounds of livestock; watch the sunset by a legendary sand-coloured fort.

🕌 Muscat. Visit the grand mosque and the Royal Opera House; those interested can explore museums, wander through the famous market, stroll along the harbour promenade, and swim in the sea.

💧 Desert oases and turquoise pools. Swim, relax, and listen to the gentle flow of water surrounded by sand and palms.

🏜 Luxury desert camp. Spend a night among the dunes, enjoy a sunset, gather around the fire under the stars, and wake to the sunrise over the desert sea.

🌊 Coastal drives. Take in the ocean atmosphere, visit ruins of an ancient UNESCO city, and discover remote mountain sites with Bronze Age tombs and towers.

Throughout the journey, we'll not only enjoy the places and experiences, but also time for ourselves. Quiet moments, optional evening sharing, and space to simply be.

Why go now?

  • Ideal weather (November–March is the best travel season in Oman)

  • Maximum experiences in a short time

  • Deep contact with nature and traditional Omani culture

  • Authentic atmosphere and meaningful encounters with locals

❤️ More than a holiday — an experience for life

This journey is not just rest. It is an immersive experience of life in Oman.
Every day brings a powerful personal impression, and the mountains, sea, sand-coloured forts, ancient clay villages, and lush palm gardens will stay with you long after you return home.
