There are hundreds of things you'd rather do than spend time at airport car rental offices figuring out transportation for your trip, no matter where you're going in the globe. Oman is no exception, so when you arrive at Muscat Airport, it's considerably easier to have your reservation made ahead of time - and all for a fantastic price.

By entering your pick-up and drop-off dates into the search feature, you can organize your vehicle rental in Muscat with Cars4travel. This will provide a list of available vehicles from local vendors such as Auto Europe, Avis, Europcar, and Thrifty. You'll be able to select a car that fits your taste and needs for your vacation, and you'll be able to compare rates to get the best bargain.

The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, a relatively modern edifice that can accommodate up to 20,000 worshipers at a time, is by far the most popular attraction in the city. The mosque is the largest in the Gulf and the only one available to non-Muslims in Oman. The inside and exterior are both eye-catching, yet the visual effects pale in comparison to the entire mood of this exceptional spot. It becomes crowded about 10 a.m., so get there early. Also, no shorts or bare arms are permitted, and ladies are required to cover their heads.

Take a 1.5-hour journey out of town to the Mazara Dam, which is located just off the major highway connecting Muscat and the neighboring city of Sur. The dam is a tremendous engineering achievement that serves as an oasis in the midst of arid plains. Don't forget to bring a picnic if you want to spend some time on site and take in the scenery.

Check to see if there are any performances at the Royal Opera House of Muscat while you're in town. The building's architecture is the epitome of richness and elegance, with a distinct classical style wonderfully mixed with modern design. Even if you are unable to attend a performance, the facility is open for visits everyday from 8.30 a.m. to 10.30 a.m.

You may go west from Muscat to Sohar, where you can discover several wonderful marketplaces as well as some stunning castles. If you continue down the coast, you will arrive at Salalah, where you will be able to observe the spectacular work of the Khareef monsoon. If you continue south, you will cross the border into Yemen and see the magnificent towns of Aden and Sana'a.
