Where the road goes

Every direction is a different Oman.

Book at Muscat or Salalah and drive out. No two regions of Oman look alike, and each is a day's drive from the last. These are the ones worth building a trip around.

Why self-drive

The freedom to see Oman at your own pace.

The empty coast roads, the mountain villages, the dune track you turn off onto at golden hour. A car turns a list of sights into your own map. Airport pick-up, honest all-in pricing, a 4x4 when the road asks for one.

The fleet

Match the car to the road.

Salalah's coast takes an easy automatic; Wahiba and the wadis want a high-clearance 4x4. Pick the car to match the road, cover included.

Coming from the UAE

Dubai to Oman, one clean crossing.

Plenty of visitors road-trip down from Dubai. Pick up a car cleared for the border run, with the paperwork handled before you set off, so the Hatta crossing is the easy part of the day.
