Oman - Travel Advice for MBA Customers (02 Mar 2026)

Update: 2nd March 2026, 1100 GMT

We understand you might have some questions or concerns about travelling so take a look at these FAQs below:

1. Are trips to Oman still running?

Yes. All trips are operated in line with the British FCDO travel advice and our expert security advisors. The FCDO advice does not currently advise against travel to Oman. We have been in regular contact with our local hosts in Oman: they have reported that local conditions remain peaceful and generally unaffected by recent events. 

Given the dynamic nature of the situation we continue to keep a close eye on developments in the region. If the advice for Oman changes, we will update customers with any news straight away.

Your safety, and the safety of our local host team, is our absolute top priority. 

2. Can I cancel my booking or change my date even if my trip has not been cancelled?

If you are booked to travel to Oman and your trip is not cancelled then your standard booking terms will apply - check your booking for details, or get in touch with our customer service team on hello@muchbetteradventures.com.

If the advice from the FCDO and our security team advice changes, then you will have the option to change your dates or get a refund (see question 6). 

3. Can I still book a trip to Oman?

Absolutely. However we would strongly recommend making sure you take out travel insurance which includes cancellation cover at the time of booking, just in case you end up needing to make last-minute changes to your flights. 

Visit the review section on our Trip Pages to read customer reviews, which we hope will provide some extra reassurance if needed! 

4. What extra travel advice is there to keep me safe while in Oman?

• Monitor and follow your own national government's travel safety and security advisory scheme, such as that of the FCDO for UK citizens.
• Whilst on their trip, speak to your Host and follow advice specific to the area you are travelling in.
• Avoid public demonstrations, protests or gatherings.
• Avoid displaying any political or overtly religious symbols and conversations about politics, or the security situation, in public settings.
• Avoid taking photographs that aren't of tourist related scenes - ask your host if you are unsure.

5. What happens if my trip does get cancelled at short notice?

You will get a full refund, or have the option to change dates or take credit to travel on a different adventure. Regardless of which option you choose we will provide you with a document to support you making a claim for flights with your travel insurance: do ensure you have taken out cancellation cover.  We recommend deferring your trip to a future departure and we have lots of dates available on the website.  

6. What happens if the UK FDCO travel advice changes when my trip is in progress?

We receive real-time safety updates and travel advice for Oman from the UK FCDO. In addition, our local host is based in Muscat and provides us with regular updates from the area. Your safety is our priority so in the event that the UK travel advice changes whilst your trip is in progress, then measures will be taken to comply with the advice. Your local host and their team are able to support travellers on the ground and have contingency plans for their trips. We also work with an expert security and incident management partner who is available 24/7 to offer additional support, if required.

Nb. If you are not a UK citizen, you should monitor the advice of your national government's foreign travel advisory.

If anything changes, we will post further updates on this page. Our customer service team are also always here to help: you can contact them on hello@muchbetteradventures.com.
