Hi Joe,
For the BBQ, do we carry the Firewood etc, or do we get a chance to stock up somewhere in between.
Cheers,
Leo

Good morning Mr. Ahmed, is it ok to change drivers for some time. Maybe if a certain stretch is plain or relatively easy for a Newbee.
Thanks Razik, very apt and all parties happy except maybe for Total 🙂
I always get a lot of valuable inputs with the group.
Cheers,

quote Ahmad Pervez:quote AJS:Meeting point: my experience of immigration counters (both exit at UAE and entry at Oman) while coming over from Dubai on long weekends was never good due to the big crowds that usually head to cross the border. one of these locations will definitely have a long queue. you may be little lucky since you are planning to be there by 7.30.I therefore suggest you guys not to wait for each other at Tawi Nizwa shops. Rather keep driving to Hatta border, finish UAE exit; move over to Oman visa and stand in queue. the obvious advantage of doing this is even if you are able to finish your visa before others arrive, wait for them in the AC environment and have a coffee rather than being at Tawi Nizwa.
in fact, what we use to do was to procure our visa and stand in the queue again to swap places with the late comers; provided it doesn’t 😉 encourage anyone to come late.
Food once out of Muscat, we will be on our own. we therefore have to plan for all meals/drinks/Fuel etc from 2Pm Thursday – 4pm Friday.
BTW, I heard someone’s going to join us at the campsite on Friday morning. He can be made to being a trailer full for us from Muscat :)) .
I reckon that’s a good Suggestion & something which obviously comes from experience…so…the meeting point changed to Oman Visa area on the Hatta border.
Great, Sounds Perfect. So see you all on Thursday.
Can we have a list of Mobile Nos we can contact while we are at the border.
Cheers,
leo

Even on the highway, please use the radio in case of real necessity only. Tolerance level of Royal Oman Police[*] for these devices is far lower than Dubai police
– the tolerance level of speed radars on the route is only 14 kms over the displayed limit. it clicks if you are 15km above the max speed. though a fair %age of radars outside Sohar and Muscat do not 🙂 work all the time, but you never know which location turns out to be bad for you.
Very good Info 🙂
Where is the meeting point ?
quote razik:quote Ahmad Pervez:Cost:
UAE exit stamp: 35AED, Oman visa: 50AED.Small clarification on the exit stamp fees bit…I believe this is applicable only while exiting from Buraimi & Mezyad borders & not at Hatta? Unless the rules have changed for uniformity lately 😕
Any which case it will be wise to carry additional 35 bucks per passport 😀
Please note that only cash is accepted & don’t expect a receipt in return 😀
Make sure both your passport & UAE residency are valid for not less than 3 months. Mine is not, i’m taking a chance :-$Hey Razick,
Cool, just a bit of doubt. South Asian Nationality ? and where can i get info about Visa eligibility.
I have been to Oman twice earlier by road but not sure through which border. is there anywher we can check the eligibility.
Cheers,
Leo
