International Connection of Omans
International Connection of Omans
Oman is one of the rising stars in the tourism industry. Therefore, the number of airlines flying to Oman has increased significantly in recent years. However, there are still relatively few direct flights to Oman. Most direct flights from Germany land in the capital muscat. From there, you can reach other places in the country, such as Salalah.
With Oman Air, you have the best chance of getting a direct flight. You can fly from Frankfurt, Munich, and Zurich to Muscat without a stopover. The flight takes about six and a half hours, while the travel time for flights with stopovers is significantly extended due to the usually several-hour layover at another airport.
If you don't have an airport nearby that offers a direct flight, you can also get to Oman with a stopover. In this case, you should pay attention to where the stop is made. If you choose British Airways, you will transfer in London. This significantly extends the travel time, as London (from Germany's perspective) is in a different direction than Oman. Emirates or Lufthansa usually make their stop in Dubai, Etihad in Abu Dhabi, and Turkish Airlines in Istanbul. All these cities are on the way to Oman, making the connecting flight relatively short.

Frankincense Road
“Tears of the Gods,” as frankincense is also called, were responsible for worldwide trade relations, power, and wealth. The resin, weighed against gold, was transported by camels on the frankincense road, the oldest trade route in the world. The first recorded transport of frankincense took place in the tenth century BC when the Queen of Sheba visited King Solomon. Trade within Arabia likely developed at this time due to the domestication of the camel since camels could carry heavy loads and go for several days without water, allowing trade routes to traverse barren desert areas as well. The r...
Weather Salalah
The climate in the Dhofar region in southern Oman is tropical. This makes it significantly different from the rest of the country.

While daytime temperatures are around 27°C during the winter months from December to February, it is about 32°C warm in the summer months. Even at night, temperatures rarely drop below 20°C throughout the year. From June to September, the Khareef, a branch of the monsoon, occurs.
