Oman February Holidays

What can you expect during holidays to Oman in February?

They say natural beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Well, that’s not the case for Oman. Home to caves and canyons, wild waterfalls, wadis and white sands, it’s hard not fall for this mystical country. And in February, it’s virtually impossible. Whether it be a chance to sneak in a week of winter sun or a way to get the teens looking at something other than TikTok, Oman February holidays offer something very few other countries do – everything. Lap up luxury at opulent resorts in Muscat and spend days ogling harbourside sun-drenched forts and extravagant 14-metre chandeliers at Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque. If you have teens in tow, grab their attention on wadi trails in Hajar or atop Jebel Shams’ Balcony Walk. Just 2.4 miles long, with an elevation gain of 656ft, it’s the perfect way to get them breathing in fresh Omani air.

Alternatively, if you are child-free and in the market for a quiet, untouched tropical oasis, a trip to Wadi Tiwi and the neighbouring Bimmah Sinkhole (a natural underground pool just a stone’s throw from the beach) is sure to do the trick. If Oman February holidays prompt thoughts of secluded shores and sands, you’re right. With Wahiba Sands just 150 miles from Muscat, you can easily combine a city stay with a desert adventure. Swing by Ibra – one of Oman’s oldest cities – for a spot of shopping at its female-run souq, before getting cosy in isolated (yet completely luxurious) camps under the stars.

What’s so good about Oman February holidays?

February is considered high season in Oman, but for good reason. Temperatures range from 15°C to 30°C, rainfall feels almost mythical and outdoor festivals bring out their A game. Eat like kings and queens at Oman Food Festival, enjoy concerts at Qurum Park Amphitheatre and understand why the country holds so much cultural clout at the Oman Heritage and Culture Village in Qurum Park. The sun shines for over 11 hours, while evenings let up with pleasant winds and cooler temperatures (perfect if you aren’t ready to retire your new Christmas knitwear). But don’t believe us?
