Overview

Resting between the dramatic peaks of the Al Hajar Mountains and perfect blue of the Gulf of Oman, Al Bustan Palace is special for more than just its stunning backdrop. The whole resort combines modern style with traditional Middle Eastern elegance – the palatial rooms are fantastically spacious and come equipped with premium amenities for a stay in complete comfort.

Step beyond the sprawling infinity pool and you’ll find yourself on the longest private beach in Oman. You can spend your time relaxing here or by one of the resort’s pools – you certainly won’t have trouble finding a tranquil spot for that much deserved rest you’ve been looking for. The service is second-to-none with staff who make you feel right at home and top class facilities throughout.

Ramadan and Eid Al Adha

The holy month of Ramadan will be celebrated in Oman every year according to the lunar cycle, and dates vary. During Ramadan, Muslims all over the world abstain from food, drink and other physical needs during daylight hours. As a result, there are many restrictions in place during this time. Hotel restaurants and local city restaurants are closed until Iftar (the fast-breaking evening meal after sunset), though some hotels let one restaurant open for buffet breakfast and lunch. Alcohol is restricted in public, but can be delivered to the room. Non-Muslims are not expected to fast but be aware that in Oman you cannot eat, drink, smoke, or chew gum in public.

Eid Al Fitr, otherwise known as the Festival of Sweets, is an annual Muslim holiday that celebrates the ‘breaking of the fast’, and dates vary. Eid Al Adha is the second major holiday celebrated annually in the UAE, and dates vary. During these festivities, the UAE can be very busy, however, there are no restrictions during these times.
