Hi Kim,
It really would be a great VT adventure travelling around, would loved to be there a see beautiful Oman but up to neck busy and working :-( Perhaps some other time!

Thank you.

Kim, is it your own car or a hire car?

If it's a hire car, have a look at:

I did this drive ~1 week ago. I'd love to go again, but can't.

In my humble opinion, it might be a bit longer, but recommend driving on the south-west side of the mountains. You could to the coastal route on the opposite direction and cut off some time.

Pass Al Ain, and enter south into Oman.
Go through Ibri, to Bahla. You can go up to Misfat Al Abriyyin among other places. Nice mountain stop!
Continue to Nizwa. There's some places to stop on the way. Last stop is Muscat.

On the return, if you take the coastal route, make an inland detour to see Nakhal and Ar Rustaq
