Religious restrictions

There will always be certain limitations on things like pork, alcohol, pornography, and how you should dress when visiting a Muslim country. Pornography is strictly forbidden. Alcohol use in public, intoxication in a public place, and drunk driving are all crimes in Omani law.

Tourists and visitors may, however, purchase and consume alcohol at establishments with a license, such as motels, restaurants, and nightclubs. In reality, if you reside in Oman and are a non-Muslim, you can seek for a license from the Royal Oman police to consume alcohol within your own home.

Hotels in Oman may occasionally decline to accommodate heterosexual couples who are not wed. Make sure you have documentation to prove your marital status. To be certain, confirm the guidelines for your stay in advance. In Oman, homosexuality is forbidden.
