Discover wild camping in Oman at ITB Berlin 2024

Highlighting one of the many facets of its diverse tourism offering, the Sultanate of Oman—this year’s Official ITB Berlin Host Country—will have a strong presence in the Adventure Travel and Responsible Tourism segments in Hall 4.1., participating in two conferences at the Lighthouse stage on 5 March.

Visitors to Oman’s stand will be able to discover for instance that camping is very popular in the Sultanate. The nation’s sunny weather and low population density create ideal conditions for camping experiences in the south-east of the Arab Peninsula. Nature lovers can camp almost anywhere in the country at the site of their choice and free of charge. Restrictions only apply to nature reserves such as Ras al Jinz, private grounds and the Muscat Governorate, where a camping permit has had to be applied for. In addition, a respectful distance should be kept from villages and other inhabited areas. Otherwise, there are no limits to the spirit of adventure: whether in the midst of fjord landscapes or lonely sandy deserts, on a rocky outcrop in the high mountains or between turquoise-blue natural pools in a wadi, in a rented off-road vehicle with a normal tent or roof tent or even in a camper van, the fascinating Sultanate can be explored particularly well “off road”.
