The Waterfall Drive – Saturday – November 22 – Morning

The Destination :

Let’s have a nice and easy family drive to a waterfall in Buraimi, Oman. SUV owners with clearance are welcome as well as the track is mostly tarmac with a little stretch of gatch in the end. The waterfall can be accessed on foot with a little bit of trekking or swimming depending on your preference and ease. So get your swim-wear, goggles and water shoes out. You can bring your lunch box and fluids along or plan for a late afternoon barbeque. We will be out of the water latest by 4:30 p.m. and you can then return to Dubai or stay back and bbq.

Please bring along a trash bag as we will take out what we bring in and leave the place neat and clean.

As we will be entering into Omani territory, you will require your passport with a valid UAE residence visa to gain access. Please note that you do not need a visa to enter Oman, you just need to show your passport to prove your UAE visa validity. Your car should also have Oman insurance coverage. There is a facility to get Oman insurance coverage at the meeting point. However, to save time and unexpected disappointments, I would highly recommend you to get your insurance sorted beforehand. Most of the 4x4s and SUVs are normally covered in Oman as well so please check your insurance policy. Passengers on visit/tourist visa will not be permitted.
