Muscat Bus 6: Best Complete Guide – Al Khoud to Sultan Qaboos University

Muscat Bus 6 is a loop route connecting Al Khoud to Sultan Qaboos University, Oman’s largest and most prominent public university. Muscat Bus Route 6 is the primary Mwasalat service for students and staff needing regular access to the SQU campus.

 

About Muscat Bus 6

Route 6 starts and ends in Al Khoud, looping through Al Khoud B, the Al Nadi Roundabout, and past the Sultan Qaboos Mosque before reaching Al Khoudh Souq — a traditional market — and finally Sultan Qaboos University itself. With 19 stops and a total trip time of about 41 minutes, it’s a moderately long loop that serves both the university community and local Al Khoud residents.

Given its direct university connection, Route 6 is one of the more heavily used routes among Muscat’s student population, and it’s worth noting that Mwasalat has occasionally suspended this route (along with Routes 7, 9, and 10) during severe weather events as a safety precaution — check current service alerts via the Mwasalat app during unusual weather.
