Driving / parking in Muscat

by JohannaKaarina Online Now Oct 30, 2011 at 10:49 AM

Hi! Could you please tell me your opinion, how chaotic is traffic (and parking) in Muscat; is it ok to drive around with a rental car, or is a taxi far better option? And I assume, that navigator is the only option to find your way around? Many thanks in advance! Johanna

    The traffic is heavy in the city, but not chaotic. If you use a car with GPS you will be fine. Taxis are not expensive, and easy to hire.

    I rented a car (SUV actually) in Muscat and found it quite easy to drive around, find parking, etc. I had a completely useless map but managed to get around pretty well anyway. It was quite straightforward.
