How to Get to Oman from Moscow and What Fun&Sun Tours Include

What Fun&Sun Offers in Oman

Tour operator Fun&Sun has launched a series of package tours to Oman on guaranteed blocks of Oman Air flights. The programmes are aimed at the autumn‑winter period, when the heat eases but the sea stays warm. The package includes the flight, accommodation, breakfasts (or half‑board) and a selection of excursions. No visa is required for Russians – just a passport valid for at least six months, and you can stay up to 30 days.

Flight from Moscow

• Route: Moscow – Muscat, departures from Sheremetyevo.
• Period: 11 October to 13 December 2026.
• Frequency: two‑three flights a week, depending on the week (Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Sundays).
• Baggage: 20 kg checked + 7 kg cabin.
• On‑board meals: hot dish included.

Accommodation options and prices

Tours are offered in three price tiers, so you can pick something that fits any budget:

1. Budget option – 3‑star hotel in central Muscat (Caesar Hotel). Double rooms, 6 nights + 1 night in transit, breakfasts included. Prices start from 91 000 RUB per person.
2. Mid‑range – 4‑star hotel, 4 nights + 1 night in transit, half‑board. From 98 000 RUB.
3. Premium package – 5‑star DoubleTree by Hilton Muscat Al Waha in the Bar‑al‑Jissah resort zone, all‑inclusive, 8 nights + 1 night in transit, private beach. From 168 000 RUB.

All prices are quoted per person in a double room.

Climate in the autumn‑winter period

By the end of October Oman already cools down: daytime highs in Muscat hover around +32 °C, in November about +29 °C, and by December around +27 °C. Sea temperature in the Gulf of Oman drops gradually from +29 °C in October to +25 °C in the first half of December, making a swim comfortable even without a wetsuit.

What the excursions include

The operator offers several popular day‑trips that can be added to the basic package:

• Muscat city tour – a look at Sultan Qaboos Mosque, the Suq Al Khabat market and the waterfront.
• Trip to Bimmah Sinkhole – a scenic stretch of coast with steep cliffs and sea caves.
• Wadi Shab canyon – an oasis in the desert, a walk through sandy dunes.
• Boat trips and snorkeling around the protected Dima Niyat islands, where a rich underwater world is preserved.

These tours let you experience both cultural and natural highlights of the country.

Visa regime for Russians

Russian citizens enjoy a visa‑free stay in Oman for up to 30 days. The only requirement is a passport that remains valid for more than six months. Upon entry, immigration may ask for proof of a return ticket and accommodation, so keep printed copies handy.

How to book the tour

Sales started in December 2025, when flights ran from Moscow to Salalah (southern Oman). Now the blocks are available only on the Moscow – Muscat route, and the planned flights from Yekaterinburg were cancelled because of a regional crisis. Tickets for flights after 13 December are not on sale yet, so it’s wise to plan ahead if you want to lock in the autumn prices.

Practical tips

• Book early. Because the flights are limited to blocks, seats can disappear quickly, especially on popular dates.
• Check your passport. Make sure it won’t expire within the next six months.
• Pack the right clothes. Days are hot, but desert evenings can turn chilly – bring a light jacket.
• Don’t forget sunscreen. Even with moderate temperatures the Omani sun is strong.
• Plan your excursions. Some trips need a bit of fitness (e.g., the hike in Wadi Shab), so choose according to your level.

Oman in the autumn‑winter season offers pleasant weather, interesting cultural and natural routes, and convenient direct flights from Russia. Fun&Sun already has a ready‑made set of tours – you just need to pick the one that suits you and set off.
