Capital city	Muscat.
Population	4.838 million.

Climate	Oman has a subtropical dry and hot desert climate. Summer has minimal rainfall and temperatures in the 40s Celsius. Winter has the highest precipitation through short, heavy showers. Spring and autumn are dry and pleasant.
Transport	Oman lacks reliable public transport and to see the country either hire a car, get a guide-driver, or go on a tour. Public transport within Muscat is limited to mini-buses (baisa) and taxis. Between a few towns there are some relatively slow but comfortable inter-city buses.
Best time to travel	The most popular time to visit is from October to April when the weather is warm and sunny and temperatures range from a pleasant 25° Celsius to 35° Celsius during the day.
What to wear	Both sexes tend to dress conservatively here, with men generally wearing an ankle length collarless gown called a dishdasha and women, a long black dress called an abaya. For tourists, this translates to long-sleeved tops and trousers. Avoid shorts, unless at the beach.
