The currency used in Al Hamra is the Omani Rial (OMR). The village offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Oman, with its narrow alleyways and ancient forts. Visitors can also explore the nearby Jebel Shams, the highest mountain in Oman.
When to visit
The best time to visit Al Hamra is during the winter months from November to March when the weather is cool and pleasant. Summer months from June to August can be extremely hot with temperatures reaching up to 40°C. It is advisable to avoid visiting during the summer to enjoy a more comfortable experience. Spring and autumn are also good times to visit, with mild temperatures and blooming flowers adding to the charm of the village.

Traveller tips
When visiting Al Hamra, remember to dress modestly and respect the local customs and traditions. It is also recommended to carry cash as not all shops and restaurants may accept credit cards.
