Traveller notes on Khasab in May
Other months in Khasab
Forum posters describe mid-to-late March in Oman generally as warm but manageable - daytime temperatures in the low 30sC, evenings cooling to the low 20sC, mostly sunny with only occasional haze from wind and blown sand. Posters call it comfortably warm enough for pool or beach time without tipping into the properly oppressive heat of Oman's peak summer, and mild enough in the evenings for outdoor dining or sightseeing without discomfort. Khasab's specific draw this time of year is its fjord-like Musandam coastline, with posters recommending a dhow boat cruise through the fjords as the signature activity - conditions calm and clear enough at this point in the year to make the cruise a comfortable, scenic outing rather than a hot, hazy one.
