A Middle Eastern tourism destination on the rise, Oman is accessible via many international air carriers, including Oman Air, Qatar Airways, Emirates, and many more.  

The country’s national airline, Oman Air, continues to add destinations to its roster, whilst more affordable flights are available through the nation’s first low-cost airline, SalamAir, which flies to over 40 destinations including Armenia, Bosnia, Türkiye, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and many other countries.   

Muscat International Airport (MCT) is the primary international gateway to Oman and is located within the city’s metropolitan area, approximately 30km from the capital’s centre. With this in mind, travellers are encouraged to rent a car or arrange private transfers to ensure a smooth and flexible journey.  

Driving across Oman is by far the easiest and most affordable way to truly see all that this incredible country has to offer. Travellers must hold a driving licence that has been valid for at least a year in order to rent a car.
