Rent a motorbike in Muscat for your road-trip in Oman

What kind of motorbike to rent to travel in Oman?

Recently, it has become possible to find motorcycles for rent in Oman and we are very happy about that! This destination is a real favorite and traveling by motorcycle in the middle of the Omani landscapes is a waking dream! From the turquoise natural pools to the white sand dunes flowing into the sea, you won’t be disappointed! Part of the Rub Al Khali desert covers the centre of the country and several mountain ranges, including the Jebel ach-Chams mountain range, stretch along the north and south-east coasts. Some asphalt roads cross the country and connect the major cities (Muscat, Nizwa, Salalah). Although some people will love to ride a motorcycle on asphalt, it is on the small tracks that criss-cross the country that you will find the most beautiful landscapes! To access remote and wild areas, a trail bike equipped with off-road tires with a minimum road/off-road ratio of 50/50 is essential.

It is allowed to bivouac anywhere in the country, so you can enjoy a starry sky without light pollution. The government has set up drinking water points in many villages.

The book Oman Off-road is a bible to organize your motorcycle road-trip in Oman! Beware, on the 38 tracks proposed in this book, some of them in the desert will be impossible to do by motorcycle unless you are a Paris-Dakar pilot and have a motorcycle equipped to ride in the sand! Our team has travelled twice to Oman between 2017 and 2019 and we hope to return there to visit the south of the country. Discover our optimized itinerary for two weeks in this article.

Tip: As far as we know, Brett’s family motorcycle rental agency (see at the end of the article) is the first one in Oman. We advise you to book your bike in advance, as the rental possibilities are still very limited!
