There are few paved roads (outside Muscat city)<\/strong> and they connect the major cities (Muscat, Nizwa, Salalah). To stay on these main roads is to miss out on the beauty and diversity of the country’s landscapes. For access to remote and wild areas, 4-wheel drive is essential.<\/strong> You can also cross the country by motorcycle, mountain bike or on foot. Wilderness camping is permitted <\/strong>, so you can enjoy a starry sky free of light pollution. Drinking water points are available in all villages.<\/p>\n In Oman, there are thousands of trails to explore<\/strong>. We recommend you buy the book Oman Off-road<\/strong>, a real nugget offering a selection of 38 4×4 trails across the country<\/strong>. Visit our article to discover an itinerary optimized for two weeks, based on the various trips we’ve made there. It was largely inspired by the <\/span>book Oman Off Road.<\/strong><\/span><\/em> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_4,1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|on||||||” text_text_color=”#3F2204″ text_orientation=”center” custom_padding=”70px|||||” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]There are very few rental agencies specializing in 4×4 off-road vehicles in Oman.

So you don’t get lost, we’ve put together an article on the best 4\u00d74 rentals<\/a>. The leading brands in Oman are Toyota, Nissan and Mitsubishi<\/strong>. If you have a problem during your road-trip with one of these brands, it will be easier to find a mechanic and parts than for other, less widespread brands.<\/p>\n To help you find a 4\u00d74 for your trip to Oman, we put you in touch with trusted rental companies<\/strong> (see end of article). They offer 4x4s adapted to Oman’s trails. What’s more, you can rent a roof tent<\/strong> directly on your 4×4!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”fade” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/en\/oman\/guide-rental\/oliver\/oliver-4×4-rental-oman-muscate-toyota-landcruiser-4.0-2-1.jpg” alt=”Off-road vehicle – Off-roading” title_text=”Oliver-4×4-rental-Oman-muscate-Toyota Landcruiser 4.0 (2)” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”fade” animation_delay=”50ms” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/en\/oman\/guide-rental\/oliver\/oliver-4×4-rental-oman-muscat-mitsubushi-pajero.jpg” alt=”rent a mitsubishi pajero with roof top tent in Oman” title_text=”Oliver-4×4-rental-oman-muscat-Mitsubushi Pajero” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”fade” animation_delay=”100ms” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ountravela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/kalian-lo-photography.jpg” alt=”UAE off-road” title_text=”Kalian Lo Photography” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row module_id=”regles-conduite” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.1″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Be cautious and alert to the behavior of other drivers, especially in Muscat where traffic can be heavy. The main roads are rarely used. You’ll often be alone on the road<\/strong>!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row module_id=”assurance” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.1″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Rental companies will usually offer you insurance. If your credit card does not include coverage, take out the insurance offered by the rental agency. They usually offer Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) protection, which covers part of the damage to the rental vehicle in the event of an incident. We also recommend that you set aside a small “repair” budget, as a simple puncture can happen very quickly!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row module_id=”etat-routes” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.1″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n As mentioned above, the roads are asphalted only on the main routes. On the other hand, to access mountainous and desert areas, you’ll need to travel on tracks of varying condition (sand, stones, etc.). For example, the tracks in the mountainous region south of Mascat are often covered with pebbles and rocks. Also, you’ll be driving on sandy tracks, so you’ll need to switch to 4-wheel drive and deflate your tires, as explained in our article How to drive on sand<\/a>. Of course, you can also choose to do only easy trails!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row module_id=”louer-4×4-mascate” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Muscat is, of course, where you’ll find the majority of rental agencies. There aren’t many rental companies specializing in off-road vehicles, but the market is growing. Here is a selection of very serious and professional rental companies.<\/p>\n You can choose between international rental agencies and those specializing in 4x4s equipped for off-road driving and independent travel (with roof tent, camping equipment and other services).<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ disabled_on=”on|on|on” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ disabled=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”cdcfb631-90a6-4075-ab12-a35401fa21c5″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px|20px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n On our first trip to Oman, we used RentalCars<\/a> to find a 4×4 Toyota Land Cruiser at the best price.
