NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 8-| 8-| 8-| … Mid Jan Joe Please.
This sounds like a very cool trip I have been wanting to see the wadis for a while now. plus I have some friends over from Europe and it would be a cool way to show them the countryside.
!Would love the drive.! Family visiting from the 22nd. Want to take to desert over next weekend. Not a deal breaker but better if could do later and take advantage of desert over long weekend.
Hello fellow members, are you aware that this is not a round trip? For all UAE expats, there is only one way in and out to Wadi Bih (or Jabal as Sayh; as Joe has shown, from Khasab) as the border post in Wadi Bih is not crossable only for UAE and Oman nationals. You need to turn back from the border post and take the exact same route out than in.
The trip otherwise is fabulous, I did it already twice with a Ford Explorer but have seen Toyota Corollas on the way as well (crazy locals :)) :)) ). 4×4 drive is recommended in some areas especially coming down from the mountains on that curvy road.
The road is not paved but cleared and flattened (gravel road) and it is very dusty which can be a problem while driving in a convoy.Depending on the timing of this trip I might try my luck the 3rd time… 😉
alright guys!
oman xmas drive officially posted….
for those who wish to join pls read the details and register there.
cheers

We Did a very nice route from Khassab all the way to Rawdah passing by Sih Plateah and Mountain. I think for Bih, you need to go from the other side (Dibba). You need to arrange with a hotel or someone to give you a permit as there are no Omani checkpoints to stamp in from and the UAE checkpoint requires it.
thanks for the info Mate, can you share the route map if you have? do you need a hotel booking even if you wish to access from Khasab? or only if we need to access from Dibba? is it possible to have phone chat on this my no is 055 5484541. Appreciate your help.
