Rustaq – South Batinah Municipality has announced the opening of applications for temporary winter camps for the 2026–2027 season, with 21 designated sites across five wilayats in the governorate.

The designated camping areas span Rustaq, Barka, Musannah, Nakhal and Wadi Al Maawil, offering residents and visitors a range of locations to enjoy Oman’s winter camping season.

Applications opened on October 15, with prospective campers required to submit their requests to the relevant municipal department in the wilayat where they intend to set up camp.

The six-month camping season is expected to attract families and outdoor enthusiasts keen to enjoy the cooler weather and explore the natural landscapes of South Batinah.

The municipality has stressed that all applications must comply with the approved regulations, requirements and controls governing temporary winter camps. Applicants are advised to review the designated locations and conditions before submitting their requests.
