Hi,
Please, I would need to know 1) each sheduled bus stop ONTC between Muscat and Sur (Bidbid, Ibra,etc ?). I would like to get on

the bus on my way from Nizwa to Sur. Is it also any link between Salalah and Nizwa?
2) Is it possible to visit Bahla, Jabrin using any microbus or shared taxi, as well as visit Al Hamra,

Misfat?
3) Can you recommend me a visit to Wadi Shab in late March because of the amount of water there?

Thanks,
Jan

Muscat to Sur are at 7:30 and 14:30 along the inland road and 15:00 along the new seaside causeway. http://www.omanet.om/english/useful/transport.asp

Many thanks Joe,
However I can find at ONTC timetable 15:00´s bus to Sur. Do you know if this bus can stop next to turnoff to Wadi Shab or along White beach?
I found your website vvery interesting with nice photos.

The new causeway service is not on the website, or even on the big board outside the ONTC "terminal" office in Ruwi. There was a photocopy inside the office. I personally took that bus though. The problem is, there is only 1 service/day in each direction along the seaside, meaning you can get dropped off at Wadi Shab, but then you're stuck out there. Renting a car in Sur makes more sense (tours are really expensive for solo travellers)
