Airport → your hotel
Muscat International Airport (MCT) is about 20 km from Muttrah / old Muscat (25–40 min). A metered Mwasalat taxi is the usual choice — roughly OMR 9–18 to central areas; agree the fare or ensure the meter is on. The A1 airport bus runs to Ruwi bus station for about OMR 0.5. Oman has no metro. Add your hotel on the Day-by-Day tab for an exact distance and fare. Verified Jul 2026.
