Getting to Muscat City Centre with your Muscat Airport Taxi
Muscat International Airport is located only 10 kilometres west of Muscat city centre. Getting there by taxi takes about 9 minutes in light traffic and you can easily track the route on your mobile. Once you leave the parking area, your driver will head south for about 3.5 kilometres, then keep right, and make a slight left. They’ll keep following the road for about 3 kilometres until you merge onto Route 1 (Sultan Qaboos St). The rest of the route depends on the exact location of your accommodation.
Why Choose a Welcome Muscat Airport Taxi
Booking a Welcome Pickups Muscat airport transfer is a sure way to enjoy smooth and stress-free transportation to your accommodation. Instead of waiting in the heat with dozens of other travellers for a taxi, worrying about the currency or checking bus timetables, you’ll have a professional, English-speaking driver wait for you upon arrival. Welcome’s flexible cancellation policy also allows you to plan ahead, taking into consideration that your travel plans might change. Flexibility is important after you land as well since passport control and baggage claim can take longer during the high season. That’s why Welcome offers 60 minutes of complimentary waiting time after the scheduled pickup time, allowing you to go at your own pace. All you need to do is look for the driver holding a sign with your name on it; after that, you can simply relax and enjoy the ride to your accommodation!
