Hotels in the centre of Oman
The central region has only some bays and the flat plains with sparse vegetation. That's why it doesn't really offer a reason for a longer stay. The only hotels worth mentioning are located along the main road to Salalah.
If you cross through the interior of Oman on the 1000 kilometre long asphalt road to Salalah, some rest houses and smaller hotels do exist, but they are also often booked up because they function as accommodation for the workers of the oil companies in this region.
Next to these hotels there is always a gas station, a repair shop and a food shop.
- Al Ghaba Resthouse
- Al Ghaftain Resthouse
- Hayma Hotel
- Quitbit Resthouse
We recommend driving straight through from Nizwa to Salalah.

What makes this travel guide so special? This book is a product of the long-term personal friendship between the authors, Mr Georg Popp and Mr Juma Al-Maskari and their continuing fascination with the Sultanate of Oman. Combining their insights from European and Omani perspectives, they have produced a guide which is as much about culture and history as it is a practical guide for planning your itinerary.
