Travel to Oman and travel information
The Daymaniyat Islands are a chain of nine islands managed by the Oman Environmental Authority as a marine nature reserve. You need a permit for every visit. SeaOman day boats depart from Marina Al Mouj in Muscat and the Barceló Mussanah Resort. From May to October, you are not allowed to set foot on the islands, but diving and snorkelling are still permitted. Extra Divers runs trips to Fahal Island from Qantab, and from Qantab and Sifah to Bandar Khayran southeast of Muscat, where the Royal Navy sank the wreck of the Al Munassir. In April, May and from September to November, the Safarischiff Oman Explorer also departs from Sifah.
This booklet is for travelling to Oman and getting around locally. It lists flights from German-speaking countries, the airlines' rules for diving equipment and transfers from the airport to your accommodation or base. In the travel information, you will find information on documents and insurance, health, equipment, packing lists, money and phone numbers. Land and people explains history and local customs, and how to pronounce the most important place names.
You will receive an A5-format PDF that you can read on your phone or tablet while travelling and print as a booklet at home.
