The perfect time to visit
The 8:30 a.m. departure time is perfect for dodging the afternoon heat, especially if you're planning to stroll through the souk. It's also a great time to soak up the morning vibe of the place.

Dress code
You'll need to dress appropriately for the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque. Guys, wear long pants, and ladies, cover your head, arms, and legs. Don't forget to bring a scarf and some loose clothes.

For the rest of the tour, we recommend wearing light and comfy clothes, plus some good walking shoes.

Bring some cash (Omani riyal) if you want to shop at the souk, as many small traders don't accept credit cards.
