Mwasalat Bus Service in Oman has announced changes, below are details of the change, buses involved and a map.
to the departure location in Muscat for most of its Inter-City bus services, including Salalah and Dubai (see pages 59 & 60 Bradt Guide to Oman on Amazon). The date of the change is just before Eid, taking effect from 23rd June 2017.
My rewrite of the Bradt Guide to Oman is available in eBook here and paperback through Amazon worldwide here.
The revised location Oman’s Mwasalat Bus long distance departure will be from the Al Athaiba bus station (Mwasalat Al Athaiba/Azaiba station) which has a ticket office within the compound area. – near Zubair Automotive and Al Meera Supermarket.
There is an exception – the route 36 from Muscat via Qurayyat to Sur, which will still depart from Ruwi (it will be worth confirming all details of any route with Mwasalat before travel to ensure no further changes have been made).
You will want to also check for the new Mwasalat Bus departures from Dubai, here.
Thank you so much for providing the location of the Al Athaiba bus station! I am looking to take the coach from Dubai to Muscat in December and searching the net for a long while to find the station’s address so that I book accommodation nearby.
You are welcome Az.
