The Route 9 or R9 is a highway in the Sultanate of Oman . The trunk road leads from the Al Khaburah R / A and junction on Route 1 , over the central Hajar Mountains to Ibri , where Route 9 ends and crosses with Route 21 . The R9 is single-lane to al-Hudschairimat, from here it leads as a two-lane motorway to Ibri. In Ibri, the R9 ends at the intersection with Route 21 .
