Overland Travel Across Borders: A Tale of Two Frontiers
Al Ain Hafeet Dubai Hatta GCC Scan Ease
A journey across the border between Oman and the United Arab Emirates is one of the most common road trips in the Arabian Peninsula, a seamless transition between two deeply interconnected nations. The mountainous exclave of Musandam and the desert frontiers further south offer you multiple crossing points, each with its own character, from busy commercial hubs to quiet, scenic routes.

You have several crossings to choose from. The most frequented are around the city of Al Ain, with the Hafeet and Khatm Al Shikla posts handling a high volume of traffic. These are modern, multi-lane facilities. On the coast, the Hatta crossing is another popular option, especially for those traveling from Dubai. For a unique experience, crossings into Oman’s Musandam peninsula, like the one at Tibat, provide access to a region of dramatic fjords.
