Follow the signs towards 'Khasab Mountain', and you will find a dirt road leading to the site. It’s advisable to use a 4x4 vehicle, as the terrain can be rough and rocky in sections.

First, take a taxi or local bus from Khasab to the base of Khasab Mountain, which should cost around 5 OMR. From there, you may need to hire a local guide or taxi to take you up to Monster Roc, as public transport does not cover this area directly. Confirm the cost with the driver in advance, as it may vary depending on the distance.

Walking/Hiking

If you enjoy hiking, once you arrive at the base of Khasab Mountain, you can hike up to Monster Roc. The hike is approximately 2-3 hours depending on your fitness level and starts from the last point accessible by car. Ensure you have appropriate walking shoes, enough water, and possibly a guide familiar with the area for safety. Be cautious of the terrain and wildlife.
