January in Oman arrives with a steady supply of sunshine, making its mix of coast, desert and mountains easy to explore. In Muscat, mornings are great for wandering the marble halls of the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, browsing Muttrah Souk’s narrow lanes, and walking the corniche as fishing boats return to shore. The water stays calm, ideal for coastal cruises and diving around the Daymaniyat Islands. Just a short drive inland, Wahiba Sands’ crisp evenings are perfect for stargazing. The wadis: Shab, Bani Khalid and Tiwi are especially inviting in January, their pools bright against cliffs after the year’s warmer months. Down south, Salalah still carries a hint of its post-khareef greenery, with quiet beaches, plantations heavy with coconuts and bananas, and fragrant trails around its ancient frankincense sites.
