Travel around Oman

Oman has a comprehensive system of cheap but slow long-distance shared taxis and microbuses. Road signs are written in English, as well as in Arabic, so hiring a car is also an option; private taxis, often in 4x4 vehicles, are probably the most convenient option, with drivers also acting as guides. We can arrange private excursions in advance of your arrival to Qatar. Please speak to our specialist consultants for more details.
