Oman's climate can be hot and humid for much of the year, particularly during the summer months. As such, many tourists prefer to visit between October and April, when the weather is cooler and drier, and outdoor activities are more comfortable. While Oman is still accessible to visitors year-round, travellers should be aware of the climate conditions during the different seasons when planning their trip. The summers in Oman are so warm and humid that most travellers would find it unpleasant so it is best to schedule your trip between November and March. This is when winter is in full swing and the climate is decidedly more pleasant and accommodating to travellers hailing from colder climates. This is the only time of year when one can engage in outdoor adventures and excursions. Those who intend to visit Ras al-Jinz during the tour, however, will want to plan their holiday between September and November as this is when the green turtles lay their eggs and the Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve offers engaging activity options.
