Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving from Muscat, start on Sultan Qaboos Street (Route 1) heading west. Continue straight for about 45 km until you reach the Al Seeb area. From there, follow signs to the Al Hail area and then head towards the coastal road leading to Al Dimaniyat Islands. Look for signs indicating the ferry departure point at the Al Dimaniyat Islands Marine Park. Note: Make sure to check ferry schedules in advance, as they can vary.

  To reach Al Dimaniyat Islands Nature Reserve using public transportation, take a taxi or a ride-sharing service to the Al Seeb area. From Al Seeb, you can catch a local bus heading towards the coastal area that leads to the ferry terminal. Be sure to confirm with the driver that the bus goes to the ferry terminal for the islands. Once you arrive at the ferry terminal, purchase a ticket for the ferry ride to the islands, which usually costs around 5-15 Omani Rials depending on the service.

• Ferry

  Once you are at the ferry terminal, you will need to board a ferry that takes you to Al Dimaniyat Islands. The ferry ride lasts approximately 30-45 minutes. Ensure you check the schedule and arrive at least 30 minutes early to secure your spot, especially during peak tourist seasons. The cost for the ferry is generally around 5-15 Omani Rials each way.

• Preparation

  Before embarking on your journey, make sure to pack essentials such as water, snacks, sunscreen, and snorkeling gear if you plan to explore the underwater beauty of the islands. Also, check the weather conditions and ensure that the ferry operates on the day of your visit.
