Essential driving tips for tourists in Oman

• Drive on the Right Side of the Road: In Oman, like most countries, driving is on the right side of the road. If you're accustomed to driving on the left, take some time to familiarize yourself with this change​​.
• Valid Driving License and Documents: Tourists need a valid international driving license, preferably in English or Arabic. Always carry necessary documents like car rental agreements and insurance papers while driving. For border crossings, such as from the UAE, ensure you have Oman insurance​​.
• Adhere to Speed Limits: Oman enforces strict speed limits, usually 120 km/h on highways and 60 km/h in urban areas. Exceeding these can result in fines or imprisonment. Be mindful of traffic calming markers indicating sharp bends or stopping points​​.
• Obey Traffic Rules: Important rules include wearing seat belts, not using a mobile phone while driving, and not driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The blood alcohol limit is zero. Keep your vehicle clean, especially the number plate, to avoid fines​​.
• Road Signs: Road signs in Oman are in both English and Arabic. Familiarize yourself with common signs like speed limits and no parking. Be aware of unique signs, such as those indicating the distance to roundabouts​​.
• Gas Stations and Fuel Prices: Petrol stations are widely available in Muscat but can be sparse in remote areas. Petrol is relatively cheap, with current prices around 0.239 OMR per liter. Petrol stations are not self-service; attendants will fuel your car, and payment is accepted in cash and cards​​.
• Navigation: Google Maps is sufficient for navigating main roads between towns and cities. In remote off-road areas, a GPS device or offline maps can be more reliable. Omantel offers tourist packs with data for navigation​​.
• Parking: Parking is generally easy in Oman, with plenty of free parking available even in Muscat​​.
• Road Conditions: Oman's road network is well-maintained, with smooth highways and paved mountain roads. However, be prepared for unpaved tracks in wadis and mountains, suitable only for 4×4 vehicles or higher clearance SUVs​​.

Following these tips will ensure a safe and enjoyable driving experience in Oman. Remember, being aware of local driving practices and regulations is crucial for a hassle-free journey.
