Yes. Oman is considered one of the safest travel destinations in the Arab region and the world. Crime rates are extremely low, the domestic situation is stable, and the local people are not only incredibly hospitable but also accustomed to travelers and tourists due to centuries-old trade. You will notice that even after dark, women are often seen traveling alone – there is a general atmosphere of mutual respect. Incidents like thefts, car break-ins, or robberies, while present as anywhere in the world, are very rare – significantly less frequent than in Germany. The Royal Omani Police is present everywhere, there is hardly a spot in the country without mobile phone reception, and the police speak English in case you ever need assistance.
