There is some risk to your security in Oman due to an underlying threat from terrorism and we advise caution.
There continues to be a threat of terrorist activity throughout the Gulf region, including against Western interests. Oman has not experienced terrorist attacks in the recent past, but New Zealanders should maintain a high level of security awareness, particularly in public and commercial areas known to be frequented by Western expatriates or travellers.
New Zealanders are advised to respect religious and social traditions in Oman to avoid offending local sensitivities. Modesty and discretion should be exercised in both dress and behaviour.
New Zealanders travelling or resident in Oman should have comprehensive medical and travel insurance policies in place.
New Zealanders travelling or resident in Oman are encouraged to register their details with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
