Oman Muscat Weather in April — Climate Guide
April in Muscat is moderate
April is moderate for Muscat.
April in Muscat marks the turn toward summer — around 34°C/24°C (93°F/75°F), hot, very dry (about 10mm), and increasingly demanding outdoors. The UV is extreme.
It's a shoulder month: hotel rates and crowds drop from the winter peak, which is good for value, but midday sightseeing is hard going. Plan outdoor activity for early morning and keep midday for indoor sights, malls, or the pool. The sea is warm and inviting.

Muscat in April — Full Picture
April in Muscat marks the turn toward summer — around 34°C/24°C (93°F/75°F), hot, very dry (about 10mm), and increasingly demanding outdoors. The UV is extreme.
It's a shoulder month: hotel rates and crowds drop from the winter peak, which is good for value, but midday sightseeing is hard going. Plan outdoor activity for early morning and keep midday for indoor sights, malls, or the pool. The sea is warm and inviting.
The standout is the mountains. Jebel Akhdar's terraced gardens come into their rose harvest around April, when villagers pick damask roses to distil into rosewater — a cool, fragrant escape some 10-15°C cooler than the coast, and the best reason to visit Oman this month.
Note: wadi hikes and desert trips are still possible but only comfortable at dawn; carry far more water than usual and watch for heat exhaustion.
What to Wear & What to Pack
Hot and dry — around 34°C/24°C (93°F/75°F). Light, loose, breathable clothing, a hat, and plenty of water. UV is extreme (10) — SPF 50+ essential. Headscarf and modest cover-up for the Mosque.
