How to exclude specific directory from Rewrite scope in root .htaccess?

Question

htaccess

Actually, the question is in the title. I hope I explained clearly.

Answer 1

I think you can do something like this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^/your/dir.*$

Answer 2

Put your .htaccess with the contents of
RewriteEngine off in this folder

Answer 3

<Directory /your/dir>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from All
</Directory>
Could it be?
