  1. Hi Hussain. I will be traveling to Salalah by boat in October (16th). I was wondering where you get the Mwasalat bus from near the port. Is it close by?
    Thanks : )

    1. Hi Nicola
      You can get the mwasalat bus from outside of the port. There would be a shuttle bus from cruise to outside port.

      If you are looking to see city and come back, you can take the bus. If you want to see more places in shorter time and outside of city like wadi darbat or Mughsail beach I would recommend you take any of the tours from Beautiful Salalah.

  2. Hello!
    I will also come with a cruiseship to Salalah. How I can get a ticket for the bus from port to city center? Is it possible to buy it in the bus from the driver? Is it possible to pay with Dollar or Euro or must I have Oman Rial?

    Thank you!
