Renting a carTraveling by AirplaneT is possible to fly from Muscat to Salalah in the south or from Muscat to Khasab (Musandam) in the north. A flight used to operate for a short period between Muscat and Sohar, but this flight is currently suspended. Oman Air and tickets operate all these flights for them could be purchased from Oman Air’s websiteTraveling by Ferry/ BoatsFormal sea transportation within the country is operated by the National Ferries Company, which runs trips between Muscat and Khasab, Shinas and Khasab, Khasab, and Lima, as well as Shannah and Masirah. More recently, NFC has started running trips from Khasab to many ports in Iran.Traveling by BusThe National Transportation Company (Mwasalat) operates public transportation buses within the capital. The timing and routes of these buses can be seen on Mwasalat’s website. This service is relatively new, and we do not have details about their prices or the method of payment, but the buses are brand new, and the service appears to be reliable.Traveling by taxiTraveling by taxi in Oman is not the most straight forward thing because taxis are not metered. There are usually taxi parking spaces near roundabouts, outside hotels, and outside shopping malls and markets. Because the cab is not metered, it is best to negotiate the price of your trip before you get in. If you do not settle in advance, that might signal to the driver that you are a gullible tourist, and you might be charged an arbitrary, expensive rate at the end of your journey. Renting a CarHiring a Rental car is the most convenient way to travel in Oman, especially if you plan on doing a lot of things outside the capital. Even with the increasing petrol prices, this remains the most economical way to travel. Cars are driven on the right side of the road in Oman. Most vehicles in Oman are new and in good condition. Navigation systems are available from many car rentals companies, and they can be useful for traveling around the country. The price of renting a car depends on the size of the vehicle, brand, etc. and could range between 20 to 80 rials per day.
