Driving yourself is far and away the easiest way of getting around the country. An extensive and ever-expanding network of modern roads now reaches most parts of the country and driving is largely straightforward, although not without a few challenges.

Standards of driving leave a certain amount to be desired, and the country’s level of road traffic accidents and fatalities is depressingly high (albeit not quite as bad as in the neighboring UAE). Drive defensively at all times, expect the unexpected, and be prepared for some lunatic in a Landcruiser to come charging down on you at 150km/h.

Vehicles drive on the right in Oman. The usual speed limits are 120km/h on dual-carriageways, 100km/h on single carriageways, and either 60km/h or 80km/h in built-up areas. Cars are fitted with a speed alarm which will beep at you (irritatingly) when you reach 120km/h. A few of the main highways are monitored by speed cameras.

Common road hazards include vehicles driving after dark with no lights on; vehicles cutting suddenly in front of you without indicating; and livestock wandering onto roads, particularly goats and (in Salalah especially) camels. Rain often leads to flash floods which can cut off roads within a matter of minutes. Driving around you’ll see endless signs saying “Stop when water is at red!” whenever you pass through even a slight depression in the landscape, meaning stop if the water level reaches the red paint on the poles on either side of the road. Keep a lookout too for speed bumps. These are found in towns and villages all over the country, but in many places, the paint has peeled off them and there are no warning signs – a nasty surprise if you hit one at 80km/h.

Penalties for traffic infringements are often stringent. Jumping a red light, for instance, leads to a mandatory two-day jail term. Wearing a seat belt is also obligatory, with an on-the-spot fine of 10 OR if you’re caught without one on. Oman is also famous for its law requiring drivers to keep their vehicles clean; driving a dirty car can technically land you with a fine, although in practice the police will probably just direct you to the nearest car wash.

If you have an accident you’ll need to inform the police (emergency number t9999). It’s best, if possible, to leave your vehicle exactly where it is until the police have arrived and had a look at it. Moving it before they reach the scene can be construed as an admission of guilt.

Car rental
Car rental is reasonably inexpensive. The international car-rental agencies can provide cars from around 13–15 OR per day, rising to around 35 OR for a 4WD. Local firms may be able to provide a vehicle for as low as 10 OR, although, obviously, such vehicles may not be in such good condition as those hired from a more reputable company. Collision
