The Omani people are friendly and welcoming to visitors.

Despite their relaxed air, the Omanis are quite conservative people and respect for their privacy and, in particular, their religion, should always be observed. Modesty is the keyword in how to dress. Women should wear loose, long garments, ensuring that their shoulders and knees are covered. Men should wear long trousers and tops with sleeves. Swimming costumes are fine for the beach or the pool.

During the holy month of Ramadhan (from Nov 28, 2000, date approximate), all Muslims fast during the hours of daylight.

Visitors to the country should remember that eating, drinking and smoking is not allowed in public at this time.

The philosophical reasons are based on the cognition that optimal sexual experience and after that, a gentle death, are the only values in life that are genuine.
