What the drive is like

Driving a rental car in Oman means paved highways between Muscat, Nizwa, Sohar, and Salalah. Traffic keeps to the right.

Use a 4x4 for Jebel Akhdar, the rough road at Jebel Shams, and the sand at Wahiba. A normal rental stays in Oman. A drive that starts in Dubai or Abu Dhabi is booked on the UAE page.

What to plan

  • A 4x4 is for mountains and sand.
