Getting from Muscat Airport (MCT) to Nizwa takes about 1h 50min by car on an empty road (1h 50min – 2h 20min in heavy traffic) over 157 km via N2 and S30. Our private transfer costs €150 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €210 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.
On arrival: The driver waits in the public arrivals hall (arrival lounge) of the terminal, after baggage reclaim and customs clearance, holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.
Nizwa lies in the interior of Oman, about 157 km south-west of the airport at the foot of the Hajar Mountains. The route leaves the coast at the Burj Al Sahwa roundabout and follows the dual carriageway Route 15 inland through the Samail Gap, past Fanja, Bidbid, Samail and Izki, climbing gently through rocky valleys and date palm oases. The road is wide and fast, with fuel stations along the way. Speed cameras are common along the route, and the stretch leaving Muscat is the busiest part.
Nizwa was the capital of Oman in earlier centuries and remains the main town of the Ad Dakhiliyah region. Its centre is formed by the 17th-century Nizwa Fort with its massive round tower, the blue-domed Friday Mosque beside it and the restored Nizwa Souq, which holds a livestock market on Friday mornings. Hotels are spread along the main road towards Muscat and around the town. Bahla Fort and Jabreen Castle are about 40 km further west, and the road up Jebel Akhdar starts at Birkat Al Mawz, 25 km before Nizwa.
