Getting there

Car

If you are driving, start from Salalah city center. Head south on Al Wadi Street (also known as the Sultan Qaboos Street). Continue straight until you reach the intersection with the Taqa road. Turn left onto Taqa road (Route 31). Follow this road for approximately 25 kilometers. Keep an eye out for the signs leading to Ayn Korr. As you get close, the road may become more rugged, and a 4x4 vehicle is recommended due to the terrain. Once you arrive, you will find the entrance to Ayn Korr. Make sure to park in designated areas.

Public Transportation

To reach Ayn Korr via public transportation, you will need to take a bus or shared taxi heading towards Taqa. From Salalah city center, find the bus station near the Sultan Qaboos Mosque. Look for buses that say 'Taqa' on them. The ride will take about 30-45 minutes. Once you reach Taqa, you may need to hire a local taxi to take you to Ayn Korr, as direct public transport to the site is limited. Inform the taxi driver of your destination, and ensure they have a high-clearance vehicle, as the road to Ayn Korr can be challenging.
