Oman Travel Advice
Travellers should be aware of the threat from terrorism. Al Qa'ida continues to issue statements threatening to carry out attacks in the Gulf region. These include references to attacks on Western interests, including residential compounds, military, oil, transport and aviation interests.
Visitors should review security arrangements carefully and should remain vigilant, particularly in public places. It is advised to avoid any large gatherings or demonstrations.
Visitors should carry some form of identification with you at all times (eg: a copy of your passport).
Since 1 June 2007, anyone involved in a minor road traffic accident, will not necessarily have to call the police, but they must follow the procedures set out on the ROP website at: www.rop.gov.om and must keep a Minor Road Traffic Accident form in their car. This is available from the ROP website or from your insurance company. It is the responsibility of car rental companies to keep forms in their cars.
