Oman is known for its culture, abundant nature and rich history. Delegates will have the opportunity to explore this fascinating country both before, during and after Congress.
This is a land of unlimited discovery; a place of natural beauty, thriving wildlife and Omani hospitality, with five UNESCO World Heritage List sites. Whether visitors are looking for a relaxing getaway or an extreme adventure, Oman has it all.
Delegates and their families can take a tour of the souq, find traditional treasures, hike through awe-inspiring wadis, cycle across mountains, explore ancient forts, dive into a vibrant underwater world, take a dhow cruise through Kasab, unwind at a luxury resort or just take in the scenery.
“From spectacular mountains, wind-blown deserts and a pristine coastline, Oman is the obvious choice for those seeking out the modern face of Arabia while still sensing its ancient soul.”- Lonely Planet 2023

Travel advice
The RCOG World Congress takes place in different countries across the world. These locations are all different and have varying local customs and laws.
We ask attendees to familiarise themselves with local customs, etiquette, laws and relevant guidance as provided by the UK Government’s foreign travel advice. The website provides additional useful links to reliable sources of information and advice on a range of topics.
Local laws reflect the fact that Oman is an Islamic country. You should respect traditions, customs, laws and religions at all times and be aware of your actions to ensure that they don’t offend.
RCOG World Congress 2024 has been planned with support from the Oman Ministry of Heritage and Tourism.
Please always use the official RCOG World Congress website for registrations, abstract submissions or travel recommendations. Be aware that there are unofficial websites in circulation who the RCOG has no affiliation with and the RCOG cannot honour any bookings made through these websites.
