Transport

Getting Around
Traffic in Oman drives on the right hand side of the road and road signs are in Arabic/English. A good network of tarmac roads exists throughout the Capital Area and similar trunk roads link the Capital Area to other major centres and to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). There is a black top road to most major cities. A 4-wheel drive vehicle is recommended and also popular for recreational purposes. All cars and 4-wheel drives are air-conditioned.

Private transport is available. Taxis - easily recognizable by their white and orange colouring - are plentiful in Muscat. They are usually reasonably priced, but it is advisable to agree the price for a journey before taking a taxi.
