Overland Travel Across Borders: A Tale of Two Frontiers
Mazyunah Shehn Humanitarian Aid in Conflict Remote
The border between Oman and Yemen is a remote and challenging frontier, stretching 294 kilometers through rugged mountains and the sands of the Empty Quarter. Due to the ongoing conflict in Yemen, this is a crossing that requires the utmost caution and extensive preparation. It is a journey into a region of profound instability, managed on the Omani side with a high degree of security.
Sarfait Coastal Closure Amid Kidnap Violence Risks
There are two official crossing points. The primary one is at Mazyunah in Oman, which connects to Shehn in Yemen. This crossing has been a critical lifeline for humanitarian aid and commercial goods entering Yemen. A second, more coastal crossing is at Sarfait. Both are located in extremely remote areas, far from major population centers.
