The highway south

The Muscat to Salalah distance is about 1,000 kilometres. Allow a full day. The highway is paved, and a normal car can make this drive. A 4x4 is for tracks and mountain roads, not for the highway itself.

A Dubai to Salalah by road trip, or a Salalah trip from Dubai, starts on the UAE booking page and then continues south. A one-way rental can also start in Muscat or Abu Dhabi and end in Salalah. The one-way charge is shown in the booking summary. Dubai to Oman by road stays on the existing guide.
