Getting Around By Air
Oman Air (WY) (www.omanair.com) operates domestic flights to Salalah and Khasab from Muscat International Airport. Oman is a large country so internal flights are an excellent way of visiting the far south (Salalah) and remote Musandam Peninsula in the north.
Getting Around By Water
National Ferries Company (tel: 2449 5453; www.nfc.om) operates vessels from Muscat to Musandam, Khasab to Lima and Salalah to the Halaniyat islands. There are plans to operate two further routes in the future, from Shinna to Maseira and Shuwaymiyah to Hallaniyat and Hasik.

Taxi
Few of the orange and white taxis are metered so you should agree fares in advance. Shared taxis and minibuses (baisa buses) are popular, especially with Omani women who will generally sit next to other women.
Car Hire
Coach
Apart from taxis, the only way of getting around Oman is by coach or shared minibus operated by the Oman National Transport Company (www.ontcoman.com). There are regular daily services between the major cities.
