Hitchiking out

Towards Sohar and the North

Take a bus(A1 or 1) or taxi to Mabelah. Taxi cost almost same as bus along the main city road, 0.5 Rials from Gubra to Mabelah in 2024. The taxi will stop at this location (23.675408081740017, 58.137576990918035) and will not go any further. Now you can take another taxi (0.2 Rials in 2024) to this location (23.683492458466755, 58.10283170073609). Here you can start hitchhiking, this roads has plenty of cars and taxis and leads to UAE border, but most of cars are not going far, so be ready for short lifts.

Towards Nizwa and Southwest

Take Bus #9 and get out in Falaj Al Sham (23.502459962869167, 58.3317757818625) or further. It's end of city with very little amount of taxis here and hitchhiking here is very easy.
