A one-way private transfer from Muscat city to Nizwa city costs OMR 45 for a standard sedan and normally takes approximately two hours. The fare is for the complete private vehicle, with pickup from an agreed Muscat city location and drop-off at an agreed address in Nizwa.
This page is for direct city-to-city passenger transportation. It is not a Nizwa day tour, a sightseeing itinerary, an airport-transfer page or a mountain journey. The exact vehicle, passenger capacity, luggage suitability, pickup and drop-off locations are confirmed when booking.
Muscat to Nizwa one-way prices
Approved prices for a one-way private transfer from Muscat city to Nizwa city:
| Vehicle | Approved price |
|---|---|
| Standard sedan | OMR 45 per vehicle |
| Minivan | OMR 50 per vehicle |
| SUV / 4WD | OMR 80 per vehicle |
| Mercedes | OMR 120 per vehicle |
All prices are for the complete private vehicle, not per passenger. A one-way transfer from Nizwa city to Muscat city on the same route is OMR 45 per vehicle for a standard sedan. Other vehicle types follow the same approved table when that vehicle is requested and confirmed. There is no return discount, and a same-day return with waiting is not a one-way transfer.
What the one-way transfer includes
The confirmed direct-transfer price includes the private vehicle, driver, fuel, drinking water, normal luggage suitable for the confirmed vehicle, and normal road charges if they apply. It also includes direct pickup from an agreed Muscat city location and direct drop-off at an agreed Nizwa city location. The written confirmation identifies the vehicle, pickup, destination and any approved additional stops.
The confirmed price does not automatically include airport pickup, sightseeing, attraction entrance fees, meals, extended waiting, Jebel Akhdar, Jebel Shams, a return to Muscat, major route changes or unconfirmed stops.
Muscat pickup locations
Pickup is from an agreed Muscat city location. Typical examples are a hotel, residence, office or another city address that can be reached by the confirmed vehicle. Send the hotel name, building name or a map pin when you book so the driver can use the correct entrance.
Airport pickup is a different service. Arriving at Muscat International Airport? Request the dedicated Muscat Airport transfer.
Nizwa drop-off locations
Drop-off is at an agreed address in Nizwa city, such as a hotel, residence or another reachable city location. If you need a short stop in Nizwa before the final hotel drop-off, ask for that stop to be priced and confirmed before travel. A pre-arranged stop is not a tour of Nizwa and does not include attraction entry.
Estimated journey duration
The direct drive normally takes approximately two hours, depending on the exact pickup and drop-off locations, traffic, weather and road conditions. This is an inland Oman highway route. Arrival time is not guaranteed.
Choosing a sedan, minivan, SUV or Mercedes
A standard sedan is the usual choice for a direct Muscat–Nizwa highway transfer when passenger and luggage numbers fit that vehicle. A minivan is available at OMR 50 per vehicle when more seats or luggage space are needed. An SUV or 4WD is OMR 80 per vehicle. A Mercedes is OMR 120 per vehicle.
A standard vehicle is suitable for the direct Muscat–Nizwa highway. Travellers continuing to Jebel Akhdar must book a separate compliant 4WD service to Jebel Akhdar. An SUV on this transfer page is not a Jebel Akhdar booking, a mountain itinerary or a combined Nizwa-and-mountain price.
Exact models, model years, colours and passenger capacities are not guaranteed on this page. The written confirmation states the vehicle assigned to your booking.
Optional pre-arranged stops
Optional stops are priced separately, normally from OMR 2 to OMR 20 depending on the location, route deviation and waiting time. Every stop must be confirmed before travel. Examples may include a brief stop at Birkat Al Mouz, a pre-arranged stop in Nizwa before final hotel drop-off, or another suitable location close to the confirmed route.
This range does not mean every stop costs OMR 2, and it does not mean every request stays inside OMR 20. If the requested service becomes a separate tour or a major itinerary, it is quoted as that service instead of an optional transfer stop. Full Nizwa sightseeing is not included. The driver does not wait without a time limit.
Transfer versus a Nizwa day tour
A one-way transfer takes you from Muscat city to Nizwa city and ends at the agreed drop-off. It does not include a sightseeing timetable, attraction tickets, meals or a hotel return to Muscat.
If you want a private vehicle for sightseeing in Nizwa and a return to Muscat the same day, book the private Nizwa day tour from Muscat instead of this one-way transfer.
Airport transfers are booked separately

Nizwa to Muscat one-way transfer
The reverse one-way transfer from Nizwa city to Muscat city uses the same route intent. A standard sedan is OMR 45 per vehicle. Other approved vehicles follow the table above when that category is confirmed. Tell us if you also need a later return; a second one-way journey is booked and confirmed separately.
