OTaxi

Essential

Oman's official government-regulated taxi app. It replaced the old unmetered taxi system and is now the go-to option for getting around Muscat. Drivers are licensed and fares are transparent.

Pro tip: OTaxi works best within Muscat. For trips outside the capital, negotiate directly with a driver at a taxi stand or arrange transport through your hotel.

Careem

Nice to have

Available in Muscat with decent coverage in the city center and around the airport. A familiar interface for travelers coming from other Gulf countries.

Pro tip: Careem availability drops significantly outside Muscat. Use it in the capital, but do not rely on it in Nizwa, Salalah, or rural areas.
