I feel it is best to have a 4WD drive if you are visiting Oman as it will enable you to get off the main roads and explore the countryside without worrying too much about safety. There are several international Car Hire Firms in Muscat where you can arrange to pick up a 4WD. Taxis are fine for travelling around the capital area but as they are not metered then it can be hazardous to your wallet if you do not ask or negotiate a price before you get in. You can take a taxi 'engage' where you are the sole occupant or you can share the cost with other passengers. Busses are available but not always reliable or on time. There is a daily bus schedule from Muscat to Salalah which is far cheaper than flying down there but also takes between 10-12 hours. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 busy street in Ruwi by TomorrowsAngel
It costs 200 baizas per ride, per passenger.
Otherwise, say between Mutrah and Ruwi, you could easily pay up to OM3. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

I found that getting around Oman really requires having your own transport.
There are many rental agencies but one I found worked well for me.
They are a small business but friendly and fair.

a 4x4 prefferably- best deal is to rent, some agencies offer good deals (rather than booking though the hotel)
Some bigger agencies are Al Zubair, and Bahwan- there are many now many new smaller companies who provide cars cheaper, and maybe even throw in a tour guide to drive you around (even the Oman Diving center offers some deals apparently, from their website http://www.diveoman.com.om/inside_oasis.asp)

MAke sure and set the fair for your taxi ride before you leave on to go to your destination. Because taxi fairs are in the hands of the taxi drivers. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
