About Renting a Car at Muscat Shati Al Qurum

Shati Al Qurum is one of Muscat's most prosperous beach districts and serves as an excellent base for exploring the entire capital region by car. From here, you can reach the magnificent Al Alam Palace and the old streets of Mutrah in just ten minutes via the coastal road, while the impressive Sultan Qaboos Mosque is a couple of kilometers inland. Drive east along the highway toward Quriyat and after approximately 35 kilometers, you'll encounter dramatic rocky coastline and deserted beaches with hardly a soul in sight.

If you prefer to experience the desert and the Hajar Mountains, head north toward Nizwa, a couple of hours' drive that rewards you with fortifications, date palms, and breathtaking mountain landscape. The best time to visit is November to March, when temperatures are pleasant and the sky is clear blue.

We compare prices from all major providers at Muscat Shati Al Qurum so you can see the total cost upfront - including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
