For a tourist, jeep safari in Muscat is the ideal way to explore the city. If you are in the city for a vacation, better than renting a car for yourself and trying to
drive from sight to sight may be tiring. Even though the roads are in excellent condition and directions are easy to follow, the stress of driving in a foreign land can dampen an average travelers’ spirit to a certain degree.
