Your flight time to Muscat, Oman, depends on your point of origin. You can get flights from the top three airports in New Zealand. If you’re leaving from Wellington Airport (WLG), most journeys take between 49h-51h flight time. On the other hand, the majority of departures from Christchurch Airport (CHC) last between 45h and 47h 30min, but flights out of Auckland International Airport (AKL) are shortest with several journeys lasting between 27h 45min-37h.

Unfortunately, non-stop flights from New Zealand to Oman are not currently available. Two airports, Christchurch and Auckland, provide flights with two connections each while Oman flight deals from Wellington require three stopovers. Departing from Christchurch, your stopover points en route to Oman are Singapore and Istanbul, while flights from Auckland make connections at Dubai and Karachi. Trips from Wellington involve stopovers at Auckland, Karachi and Dubai before proceeding to Oman. You should anticipate some overnight stays at host airports as well as plane transfers during your travels.

Mwasalat Transport Company provides bus service connecting Muscat International Airport (MCT), Muscat, with Ruwi Bus Station downtown. Lines, including A1, 08, 52 and 53, depart T1 and T2 every 40min and take a minimum of 50min to the central terminal. You should note that bus timetables vary from Friday to Sunday according to custom. Taxis are available from ranks outside the main terminal building and the ride should be about 25min. Car hire (Arrivals Concourse) and hotel shuttle services are other ways to get to the city centre, but rideshare options are unavailable at this airport.

The Sultanate of Oman borders the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea as it nestles along the easternmost point of the Middle East. This is wide open country best navigated by vehicle, so it’s recommended to collect a car hire from Muscat Airport to explore as much of it as possible. The city of Muscat holds a few attractions as you head into town from the airport like Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, with its dazzling white exterior and towering minaret. Perched on a hill overlooking Old Muscat, Jabreen Castle is an impressive sight and its painted ceilings, as well as the royal vaults, are worth exploring. Azaiba Beach to the north and PDO Marjan Beach east of the city centre provide respite from the hot summer sun. A few miles west from Muscat is Nakhal Fort, another medieval fortification offering a spectacular view of surrounding mountains and valleys. If you’re up for a cross-country drive, head south along Highway 31 to Salalah to view its lush green plains then travel Highway 49 east a few miles and savour the pleasures of Wadi Sarbat and its famous waterfalls.
