The winter season, especially, is perhaps one of best seasons to visit the country when temperatures and weather conditions are ideal. While some other countries suffer from the biting winter cold, in Oman the mean temperature is around the 20 degrees Celsius mark during the day with even cooler weather in the evenings and early mornings
