If you prefer to book the holiday without flights and make your own travel arrangements you will still be able to make use of the return group transfers between the airport and hotel, which are included in the cost of your holiday. You must contact us on +44 (0)20 3974 8865 or email reservations@hfholidays.co.uk at least 8 weeks before your holiday start date to provide your flight details if you wish to join the transfers. If you do not contact us, we will assume you are making independent travel arrangements.
If you are arriving ahead of the group, and are meeting them at the first hotel, please leave a message at the hotel reception for the HF Holidays’ leader or local leader, detailing your room number, and a mobile telephone number if possible. The leader will contact you once the group arrives. If you are arriving after the group, a message will be left for you at the hotel reception, welcoming you and giving details of the time and place to meet the group.

Travel insurance is a condition of booking. Therefore, if you have not already arranged insurance, it is imperative that you do so before you travel.

Modest dress
When visiting Oman, it is important to adhere to the country's modest and conservative dress code.
Both men and women should ensure their clothing covers the shoulders and knees. Loose-fitting attire is preferred to maintain respect for local customs.
Women must also bring a scarf to cover their hair when visiting religious sites such as mosques. By dressing respectfully, you show appreciation for Omani culture and ensure a more welcoming experience during your trip.
