Mindful meoweler tips

Traveling during Ramadan

Many restaurants and cafes will be closed during the day. Plan to eat and drink in private or at your hotel.

Dress modestly

Out of respect for local customs, women should avoid tight or revealing clothing. Both men and women should also avoid shorts and sleeveless shirts.

Visit the Rock Carvings at Jabal Umm Sinman

These amazing prehistoric carvings are not to be missed. Remember to wear sunscreen and bring lots of water.

Don't forget to bargain

Haggling over prices is expected in markets and souvenir shops. Give it a try - you might get a great deal!

Take a trip to Jubbah

This archaeological site is a must-visit for history buffs. Don't miss the ancient well and the stone dwellings.
