Cheap Car Hire Muscat

Car hire in Oman - Beautiful sights in and around Muscat

The Oman is bordered on the west by the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Yemen. To the northeast of the country, nestled in the Gulf of Oman, the residents of the southeast side of the country can hear the waves quietly rumbling during the night. Its capital, Muscat, is situated in the north east of the country of Oman and its population is around 800,000. Of these, however, very few people live right in the city, but many areas in the suburbs and surrounding cities.

Visit Muscat with car hire – more than just beaches

Whoever goes on holiday in Muscat, usually visits the beautiful beaches and parks, for example, the Qurum Natural Park. The striking features of the city are however the buildings. For example, the Qaboos Grand Mosque and the Clock Tower Square. At the end of the 18th century  huge walls were erected around the city and two of the city gates have been  beautifully preserved.

Hot Arabian nights along the coast of Oman

In the coastal region of the Gulf of Oman, including in Muscat, the climate is subtropical. It takes a little time, therefore, to become accustomed to the warm or very hot summers. Summer temperatures can easily hit around 35 to 40 degrees. On the coast, the temperature cools during the night and is more pleasant. Muscat is characterized by the fact that the temperature may be very hot both in the morning as well as after noon. Hire car drivers can look forward to some of paved roads and multilane highways but side streets are generally not paved in Muscat.

Variety is the spice of life with car hire in Oman

Oman is a monarchy and the Sultan is both head of state and head of government. The Ministers are appointed by the Sultan and only have an advisory function. The country also has an abundance of oil and gas reserves. The largest oil reserves are located mainly in the interior of the country in the deserts. The Gulf of Oman is on Muscat's doorstep. Thus, Muscat is also a major exporting port for crude oil. Moreover, it is also along the Persian Gulf and therefore of great strategic importance to the rest of the world.
