Visiting Ibri, a charming city in the Al Dhahirah region of Oman, is largely influenced by the arid desert climate which dominates the area. The best time to visit Ibri is generally during the cooler months from October to March. During this period, temperatures are milder, ranging between 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F), making outdoor activities and exploration of Ibri's heritage sites such as Ibri Castle and the As-Suleif Fort more enjoyable. In contrast, peak summer months from June to August can be extremely hot, with daytime temperatures often soaring above 40°C (104°F).
Besides the pleasant weather, travelling in the cooler months also aligns with cultural events and festivals. For example, the National Day festivities in November could be a great addition to your itinerary. However, since these months are considered the peak tourist season, it is advisable to book accommodations ahead of time. If you're a fan of more solitary travels or looking for a budget-friendly option, consider visiting during the shoulder season in April or September. Although temperatures begin to climb, they are still manageable, and you'll find fewer tourists and potentially lower prices for hotels and services.
