Travel Status Oman

Oman is located away from active conflict zones, but it feels the effects of regional tensions in the Middle East. Muscat and most tourist regions remain fully accessible. Increased caution is advised for certain coastal areas (ports of Sohar, Duqm, and Salalah) and areas bordering Yemen. The Netherlands classifies most of Oman as 'yellow' (exercise caution); the German Federal Foreign Office has issued a formal travel warning. We recommend following your country's official travel advice.
