Updated 2026-10-29 · For travellers from Oman — flying from Muscat (MCT) and Salalah (SLL)
Rajasthan is one of the most rewarding destinations you can reach from Oman, and the flight is shorter than most people expect. SalamAir's nonstop from Muscat lands in Jaipur in under three hours, which means you could be walking through the gates of Amber Fort the same afternoon you left home. Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur and Jaisalmer, the four cities that anchor most Rajasthan itineraries, each have a completely different personality: the pink sandstone of Jaipur, the blue-washed lanes of Jodhpur, the lake palaces of Udaipur and the golden dunes rolling out beyond Jaisalmer. Travelzeego offers Rajasthan packages from Oman to suit every budget and travel style, from small heritage guesthouses to private palace-hotel circuits. All packages include accommodation, daily breakfast, key sightseeing and road transfers, so you land in Jaipur and everything is already in place. This page covers flights from Muscat and Salalah, the best travel season, visa requirements for Omani citizens and expat residents alike, and an honest breakdown of what a Rajasthan trip actually costs in OMR.
Muscat (MCT) is Oman's main international gateway and the only airport in the country with a confirmed nonstop service to Jaipur (JAI). SalamAir operates this route, covering roughly 1,800 km in about 2 hours 40 minutes, one of the shortest international hops from Oman to India. Schedules are seasonal, so check availability early and book as soon as your dates are confirmed, especially around school holidays and Eid periods when seats go fast. If you prefer a different airline or want to compare fares, one-stop options from Muscat are available with Oman Air, Air Arabia, Air India and IndiGo, routing via hubs such as Mumbai, Hyderabad or Abu Dhabi, with total journey times of roughly 6 to 10 hours. Travellers departing from Salalah (SLL) will need to connect via Muscat first. There is no direct flight from Salalah to Jaipur or any other Rajasthan airport, and total journey times from Salalah run approximately 7 to 12 hours depending on the connection.
October to March is the most comfortable window for visiting Rajasthan. Daytime temperatures are warm but manageable, typically 18–28 °C, and the evenings can be genuinely cool, especially out in the desert around Jaisalmer. From April onwards temperatures climb steeply, and the summer months of May through August are very hot inland. For travellers from Oman, several holiday windows line up well with the October–March season: Eid al-Adha (date shifts each year, confirm the 2026 Hijri calendar), Eid al-Fitr. Oman National Day on 18–19 November are all popular travel breaks. The Oman school mid-year holidays (typically January–February) are another practical window for families. Flights and hotels fill up fast around these dates, so book at least 6–8 weeks ahead.
The visa rules depend on the passport you hold, not where you live. **Omani citizens and other GCC nationals:** Omani passport holders are not visa-exempt for India and need to apply for an India e-Tourist Visa online before travel at indianvisaonline.gov.in. Most other GCC passport holders, UAE, Saudi, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, are eligible for visa on arrival in India, though applying for an e-visa in advance is still recommended. Always verify the current rule before booking, as these arrangements can change. **Indian passport holders living in Oman:** Indian nationals can apply for an India e-Tourist Visa or may be eligible for visa on arrival, check the latest rules at the Indian government's official portal before travel. **Pakistani, Bangladeshi and other expatriates:** Generally need a regular Indian visa applied through the Indian mission. Processing times vary; apply well in advance. As of April 2026, all foreign visitors to India must also complete a mandatory digital e-Arrival Card within 72 hours before landing. Always check the latest requirements at indianvisaonline.gov.in before booking.

The currency in Rajasthan, and all of India, is the Indian Rupee (INR). The Omani Rial is not accepted in India, so exchange before or on arrival. Exchange houses in Muscat in Ruwi, Qurum and the major malls offer competitive rates. Exchange a portion before you fly rather than relying entirely on airport counters in Jaipur. OMR bank cards (Visa and Mastercard debit and credit) work at ATMs in Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur, but fees vary by bank. Inform your bank before travel to avoid your card being blocked. UPI, India's digital payments system, is widely used across Rajasthan but is not directly accessible to foreign card holders, so carry enough INR cash for local markets, auto-rickshaws and smaller restaurants. Budget approx. OMR 10–25 per person per day for personal spending. A useful rate to keep in mind: 1 OMR is approximately INR 222, though you should check the current rate before you travel.
