Directions

How to get to Masirah Island:

- So far there is no flight connection to Masirah Island.

In general we recommend our guests to drive to Masirah with a rent-a-car. That is not only the cheapest option but you are also able to discover the Island on your own by car. The streets are in good condition and you can drive anywhere without having a 4x4. Travelling alone is also not a problem in Oman as the country is very safe.

Of course we are glad to arrange return transfers from Muscat to Masirah Island for our guests on request.

The below marked route is the fastest way to get to Masirah and there is enough traffic to find someone to help you out so you won't feel left alone in the desert.
However we recommend to take some water & food with you on the way as there are not many shops along the road.


Travel directions to Masirah Island, starting from the “Clock Tower Roundabout” in Seeb between City Center Shopping Mall and the airport:

0 km:
Turn off the roundabout in the direction of “Nizwa”/”Salalah” (Route No. 15)

115 km:
At exit “Izki”, turn off in the direction of “Sinaw”/”Masirah”. (Route No. 33)

195 km:
Turn right in the direction of “Masirah” at the Sinaw roundabout.(Route No. 32)
!Attention! The Shell petrol station in Sinaw at the roundabout is the only 24 hours petrol station for the remaining distance. It is therefore advisable, especially in the late evening and by night, to fill up the car with petrol.
By day, there is only one place halfway between Sinaw and Mahoud where one can get petrol.

394 km:
Turn left at the Mahoud roundabout in the direction of “Masirah”/”Hiji”

458 km:
Turn right to “Masirah”. After a further 10 km you will have reached the “Sanah” ferry landing place.

Ferries go at irregular intervals from 6 am until 3 am in the afternoon. Both landing places – the new one behind the landing stage as well as the old one in front of the “local restaurant” are used at the discretion of the ferry personnel.
Therefore: Get in the queue, keep your eyes open, and don’t let yourself be turned away.

Ferry costs: 10.- OMR per 4x4


On the Island:
After leaving the village „Hilf“ towards south, always along the west coast. The sea should remain visible on your right hand side.

After 33 km there is a signboard “Sur Masirah”. 300 meter after that turn right and follow the tracks though the village.
Always along the lagoon right after passing the village you should see the Camp of KITEBOARDING-OMAN.

Stay on the tracks, because between it can be deep and muddy (sabkha!) off road.
