Travel tips

r FROM THE HAJAR MOUNTAINS to Muscat

You won’t need to pass through any borders. Simply take Route 15 all the way to Muscat.

r FROM DUBAI

Take the Dubai-Hatta road (E66) followed by Emirates Road (E611), then the SharjahKalba road (E102), all the way to the Hatta border. From there you get onto Route 1 and follow the coastal road to Muscat.

You’ll need your passport and Oman car insurance, plus Dhs50 per person for the visa fee. Make sure you stop at every checkpoint; you’ll need to get an exit stamp from the UAE as well as an entrance stamp into Oman.
