030: Oman's Climate

The best time to visit Oman is... well, it depends on a lot of factors. The climate and weather being the most significant.

Just like the British, it seems us Omani residents discuss the weather, a lot. Usually it's something like, "It's really hot today," or "Wow, the humidity came out of nowhere."

There is no hiding the fact that Oman is a hot, desert country. We are within the tropic latitudes, and hold a portion of worlds largest sand desert within our boundaries. High temperatures are in the forecast no matter how you look at it. However, the climate or weather shouldn't deter you from visiting.

In this episode of the Sultanate I discuss the different climate regions of Oman and give my opinions on the best times to visit Oman.

Now I want to hear from you. Do you have and opinion on the best time to visit Oman, or a weather related travel story from Oman? I want hear it. Leave me a note in the comments. Follow the show and find more about Oman at:
