Oman is one of the rising stars in the tourism industry. Therefore, the number of airlines flying to Oman has increased significantly in recent years. However, there are still relatively few direct flights to Oman. Most direct flights from Germany land in the capital muscat. From there, you can reach other places in the country, such as Salalah.

With Oman Air, you have the best chance of getting a direct flight. You can fly from Frankfurt, Munich, and Zurich to Muscat without a stopover. The flight takes about six and a half hours, while the travel time for flights with stopovers is significantly extended due to the usually several-hour layover at another airport.

If you don't have an airport nearby that offers a direct flight, you can also get to Oman with a stopover. In this case, you should pay attention to where the stop is made. If you choose British Airways, you will transfer in London. This significantly extends the travel time, as London (from Germany's perspective) is in a different direction than Oman. Emirates or Lufthansa usually make their stop in Dubai, Etihad in Abu Dhabi, and Turkish Airlines in Istanbul. All these cities are on the way to Oman, making the connecting flight relatively short.

The birth rate of almost three children per woman not only reflects the Arabian love for large families, rather, it is an expression of the deep satisfaction that persists in the country and of the fact that people have experienced a transformation in the last few decades that is second to none. Due to this fact, more than half of Omanis are under 18 years old and more than 30 % are under 15. The people of Oman today have a much longer life...

The infrastructure in Oman is modern and has now been well developed. When the oil business was started in 1967, it was hardly present.
