If you associate luxury in the Middle East with Dubai, don’t overlook Oman. Oman can be just as luxurious — but in a completely different way. Think mountains, dramatic landscapes, beautiful resorts and a much slower pace. Here’s how I’d split 5 days ↓ DAYS 1–3 | AL HAJAR MOUNTAINS Rent a car in Muscat — driving in Oman was surprisingly easy — and head straight into the mountains. STAY: 📍Alila Jabal Akhdar @Alila Jabal Akhdar One of the most unique luxury hotels we’ve stayed at. Give yourself 3 nights here to actually enjoy the property and the mountains rather than rushing through. DAYS 4–5 | MUSCAT Drive back to Muscat for two nights by the beach. STAY: 📍W Muscat @W Hotels Relax by the water, explore Muscat and enjoy a completely different side of Oman before heading home. MY TIPS * Rent a car for the freedom to explore * Don’t make the mountains a one-night stop * Oman pairs perfectly with Dubai if you want both experiences in one trip We did both on the same trip and I’d 100% do it again. Save this for your Oman trip 🇴🇲 Would you choose Oman or Dubai? #oman #mountains #traveltiktok #luxurylife #honeymoon
