The Sultanate of Oman is located in the Middle East between Yemen and United Arab Emirates, with coastline on the Arabian Sea, Gulf of Oman, and the Persian Gulf. This oldest independent state in the Arab world has a population of about 3.2 million people. The government is a monarchy with a hereditary sultan as both chief of state and head of government.
Until the 1970s, Oman was one of the most isolated countries and is still one of the more traditional countries in the Gulf region. Sultan Qaboos seized power from his father in 1970, moved away from the policy of isolationism, began a program of economic reform, and increased funding for health, education and welfare.
Oman’s economy depends heavily on oil. Tourism is growing and is expected to be one of the largest sectors of the economy. For the traveller, Oman has a diverse environment, including unspoiled coastlines, mountains, and deserts. The capital city, Muscat, is a destination with an old walled city, forts, palaces, shopping in the souk, and the Grand Mosque.

Oman中的安全性
人身安全
阿曼是全球最安全的國家之一,犯罪率極低。小偷小摸和扒竊很少發生,但在擁擠的市集和旅遊區,您應保護自己的財產。針對遊客的暴力犯罪非常罕見。阿曼人以熱情好客和尊重遊客而聞名。人身攻擊(包括性侵犯)可能會發生,但相對少見。 2024 年 7 月,馬斯喀特一座清真寺發生的槍擊事件是一次罕見的安全事件。恐怖主義風險仍然存在,但仍低於鄰國,在也門邊境附近有潛在的溢出風險。中東地區的發展偶爾會引發和平示威,但抗議活動仍不頻繁,並受到嚴密監控。與其他旅遊目的地相比,詐騙並不常見,但您可能會在市場上遇到虛高的價格或遇到無證導遊。
極端暴力
阿曼是全球恐怖主義影響評分最低的國家之一。截至2024年,該國在全球恐怖主義指數中墊底,與其他72個未通報恐怖主義事件的國家並列。 2024年7月,馬斯喀特瓦迪卡比爾一座清真寺發生槍擊事件,造成6人死亡,是一起罕見事件。該國與也門接壤,也門武裝衝突持續不斷,存在潛在的溢出效應,尤其是在邊境地區。包括兇殺在內的暴力犯罪仍然極為罕見,每10萬人的犯罪率為0.28。阿曼皇家警察嚴格執法,有組織犯罪幾乎不存在。阿曼與國際夥伴保持積極的反恐合作,並監視其漫長的海岸線以及與沙烏地阿拉伯和也門的偏遠邊界。
政治動盪
阿曼政局穩定,權力集中在君主製手中。該國偶爾會發生與經濟不滿(尤其是失業問題)相關的小規模抗議活動,最近一次發生在 2021 年。歷史上的抗議活動發生在 2011 年、2018 年和 2019 年,通常關注的是就業和生活條件,而不是政治動盪。政府通常以經濟讓步和有限執法相結合的方式來應對。不允許政黨存在。偶爾會發生與中東地區事態發展相關的示威活動,包括 2023 年 10 月在英國大使館外舉行的和平抗議活動和 2023 年底的巴勒斯坦聲援示威活動。這些示威活動仍然很少見,是和平的,並受到當局的密切監控。該國在地區衝突中保持中立,根據世界銀行的指標,其政治穩定性排名為 65.88 百分位。
應避免的區域
由於持續的武裝衝突,也門邊境地區需要特別謹慎,並被多國政府列為高風險地區。您需要獲得阿曼當局的授權才能前往該邊境附近的限制區域。阿曼和也門之間的過境十分危險,因為官方入境點有限,而且可能被扣留。邊境地區的軍事存在非常密集。亞丁灣的部分地區受到限制,船隻可能面臨扣留和檢查。某些地區被指定為具有戰略重要性,未經官方授權不得進入。包括瓦希巴沙漠和魯卜哈利沙漠在內的偏遠沙漠地區,由於手機訊號有限甚至沒有訊號,需要做好充分的準備,包括四輪驅動車輛、充足的補給和通訊設備。降雨期間,尤其是在10月至3月期間,由於山洪暴發的風險,乾涸河床變得極為危險。
