About Renting a Car at Muscat Al Mawaleh South

Muscat Al Mawaleh South is located in the southern part of Oman's capital and serves as an excellent base for exploring the entire region. From here you can quickly reach the vibrant Muttrah Souq along the coast, where old trading lanes meet the Arabian Sea, and Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, which is one of the Middle East's most beautiful mosques. Taking the motorway south toward Salalah, one of the world's most dramatic desert roads awaits you through Wahiba Sands desert landscape, but already after approximately one hour's drive you'll reach the impressive cliffs and wadis of Wadi Bani Khalid.

Climbing up toward the Al Hajar Mountains on the way to Nizwa, approximately 140 kilometers northwest, you pass the village of Fanja and rolling mountain passes with fantastic views. The best time to visit is November to March when the temperature is pleasant.
