Driving around Oman in your own (rented) car is quite easy. A six-lane superhighway connects Muscat and Nizwa and a similar road between Muscat and Sur is under construction. When that road is ready, travelers should be aware that the old dirt road is extremely scenic and a fun ride and should not be missed. If you intend to drive in wadis (unsealed valley roads in river beds) a 4WD is highly recommended, though experienced drivers will usually manage with a normal car quite well (although rental companies may not be impressed with the state of the car after such an expedition and you are likely to void the insurance by taking it off-road). But you can never be sure how the road will be and if it starts raining the wadis will turn into rivers quickly.
Be aware: In heavy rain even main roads get flooded, though usually the floodways only. Every ten years or so there are heavy rainfalls in Oman which cause many roads to be impassable. Wadis will be filled with water and driving will be difficult and only possible with proper 4x4 with high clearance.
Believe it or not, but it's actually illegal to drive around in a dirty car in Oman. You may get stopped by the police who can fine you OMR5, although they are more likely to just tell you to wash your ride.
