Car
If you're driving, start from Salalah, the capital of Dhofar Governorate. Head east on the Sultan Qaboos Street (also known as the Salalah-Mirbat Road) towards Mirbat. The drive should take approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, covering a distance of about 70 km. As you approach Mirbat, keep an eye out for the signs indicating the Jabal Samhan Viewpoint. Once you reach Mirbat, navigate to the coordinates 4M3X+26W. There is a rough road leading to the viewpoint, and a 4x4 vehicle is recommended due to the terrain. Ensure you have a GPS or a map app to assist with navigation.
Public Transportation
For those opting for public transport, take a bus from Salalah to Mirbat. The bus service is available from the Salalah Central Bus Station. The journey to Mirbat takes about 2 hours. Upon reaching Mirbat, you may need to hire a local taxi or a 4x4 vehicle to reach Jabal Samhan Viewpoint, as public transport does not go directly to the viewpoint. Negotiate the fare before starting your journey, and expect to pay around 10-20 OMR for the taxi ride, depending on the distance and waiting time.
