Private transfer vs shared taxi vs self-drive
Private transfer (recommended): fixed OMR 120 / AED 1,140 sedan rate, door-to-door, English-speaking driver, border assistance.
Shared seat brokers: often AED 150–250 per person — a couple can pay AED 300–500 total without a private vehicle.
Self-drive rental: only viable if your contract explicitly permits Oman; add cross-border fees, extra insurance, and return logistics. Many visitors prefer a car hire vs Oman taxi service comparison before deciding.
