Your Guide To Planning A Road Trip From Dubai To Muscat
Updated on 01 August 2024

Dubai is undeniably captivating with its glittering skyscrapers, record-breaking attractions, and luxurious offerings, and it also provides easy access to nearby getaways like Hatta. However, you may want to consider a trip to Muscat, Oman if you're yearning for the tranquillity of nature, serene wadis, refreshing pools, and enchanting mountains. 

Nestled on the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula, Oman boasts a rich blend of ancient culture and stunning natural landscapes. In fact, its capital, Muscat boasts historic forts, bustling souks, picturesque beaches, and a variety of cultural experiences, making it a captivating destination in the Arabian Peninsula. And you can easily do a road trip from Dubai to Muscat. This Discover Dubai guide will provide the details you need about the required documents, the process, and all the essentials for planning your road trip from Dubai to Muscat.

Visa Details 

For UAE citizens, travelling to Oman is visa-free, however, UAE residents need to obtain an Oman visa before visiting. This can be done through the Royal Oman Police portal. Residents must provide documents such as a copy of their UAE residence visa, passport photo, valid passport copy, and Emirates ID. As a UAE resident, you need at least six months of valid UAE residency, and your passport should also be valid for at least six months upon entering Oman. In short, before planning the trip, ensure to check your residency visa and passport expiry date. 

Oman has simplified the visa application process with an online platform. Applicants can create an account on the Oman eVisa website, select the visa category, and fill out the necessary details, including personal information, passport details, and travel plans. The cost for a 30-day visa for UAE residents is approximately Dhs 47.50 (5 Omani Riyal). 

Visa processing usually takes about 24 hours, but it may extend up to three to four working days. To ensure a smooth trip, it's recommended to apply for your visa at least a week before your planned travel date.

Dubai To Muscat Road Trip Duration

According to Google Maps, the distance from Dubai to Muscat is approximately 453km, with an estimated travel time of about 4 hours and 40 minutes. However, due to border crossings, immigration procedures, and varying driving speeds, the journey typically takes around 5 hours and 30 minutes. Factors such as traffic and road conditions can affect arrival times, so it's advisable to plan accordingly. 

Dubai To Muscat Border Crossing Details

When planning a road trip from Dubai to Muscat, one of the most popular border crossings is the Hatta-Al Wajajah Border in Hatta. This crossing is favoured by travellers heading to Muscat from Dubai due to its proximity and accessibility. It's situated approximately 6km from Hatta Wadi Hub and takes over an hour to reach from Dubai.

The border crossing typically takes between 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on traffic conditions, especially during weekends and public holidays. Photography and recording are prohibited at the border, so it's important to keep your phone secured inside your vehicle.

Upon reaching the UAE side of the border, you'll submit your passport for exit processing and pay a Dhs 35 exit fee. If you're driving a rented vehicle, you may need a letter of consent from the owner. Once cleared, you'll undergo a visa check and receive an entry stamp into Oman, where your car documents and insurance will be inspected.

Proceed approximately 1km to the Oman border post, park, and enter the building for Oman entry stamps. Return to your vehicle, present your passport at the passport checkpoint, and verify your Oman entry stamp before continuing your journey.

Dubai To Muscat By Car 

Before you start your journey, make sure you have all the essential documents with you, such as your insurance policy, vehicle registration, and a valid driver's licence. It's handy to keep a digital copy on your phone in case you need it during your trip.

Insurance Is A Must

If you're planning a road trip from Dubai to Muscat by car, ensure you have valid car insurance, which is mandatory. Most car insurance policies include coverage for Oman, but it's advisable to confirm this by contacting your insurer. If your policy covers Oman, request an 'orange card' from your insurer, available in electronic or physical form. This document serves as proof of insurance coverage in Oman, including basic liability, damage to your vehicle, theft, and medical expenses. Having this extra protection ensures you're ready for any unforeseen situations on your trip.

If your current insurance doesn't cover Oman, you can buy temporary insurance at the border, usually covering third-party damage only. 

Things That People Travelling In Rental Vehicles Should Make A Note Of 

If you're driving a rental car, it's crucial to confirm the insurance coverage and necessary documents with the rental company. Ensure you obtain a notarized No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the vehicle's owner, which must state the owner's approval for you to use the car. Include essential details such as vehicle registration information and the driver's Emirates ID number. This NOC must be notarised. 

In addition to the NOC, having a valid driver's licence and the vehicle's registration papers is mandatory. You'll also need to present an ownership certificate issued by the transport authority of the emirate where the car is registered. These documents are essential to comply with regulations and ensure a smooth journey across the UAE-Oman border.

If you are driving your recently purchased car, which is still under mortgage, ensure to obtain an NOC as mentioned above from the bank. It's advisable to contact the bank directly for further information regarding this requirement.

Other Things To Keep In Mind

Once you've sorted out insurance and other necessary paperwork, it's important to have your car checked thoroughly. Make sure the tyres are properly inflated and have the brakes inspected as a precautionary measure.

Before setting off on your road trip, pack some snacks for the journey. Remember, photography is prohibited at various points, especially near the border areas, so be sure to respect these rules.

Taking these steps ensures your vehicle is in good condition and you're prepared for a comfortable road trip from Dubai to Muscat.

Dubai To Muscat By Bus

If you prefer a road trip without the hassle of fuel, car rental, and insurance costs, consider taking a bus from Dubai to Oman. Previously, Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority collaborated with Mwasalat for this service, but it was suspended during the pandemic and hasn't resumed. However, Al Khanjry Transport now offers daily bus services between the two cities - Dubai and Muscat. 

Al Khanjry Transport operates buses departing Dubai to Muscat at 7am, 3pm, and 9pm, and from Muscat to Dubai at 6am, 3pm, and 9pm.

The journey from Dubai to Muscat includes stops at Falaj Al Qabail, Mabella, Russell, and Ruwi. One-way tickets are priced at Dhs 100 and round-trip at Dhs 200. Online booking isn't available, so you'll need to call 04-2959390 to reserve your seats and get details about boarding stops in Dubai.

The journey typically takes about six to seven hours, so pack snacks and enjoy the scenic landscapes as you travel from Dubai to Muscat.

Upon returning, expect a similar duration for the journey, including necessary inspections at the border crossing points. Keep this in mind as you plan your trip back from Muscat to Dubai.

What To Do In Muscat

In Muscat, immerse yourself in the blend of ancient charm and modern elegance. Explore the majestic Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, wander through the vibrant Muttrah Souq for local crafts, or unwind at the scenic Qurum Beach. Don't miss the iconic Royal Opera House Muscat for a glimpse into Oman's cultural richness.

Driving Back To Dubai From Muscat

Returning from Muscat to Dubai by car follows a similar procedure in reverse. The Dhs 35 exit fee charged when leaving Dubai for Muscat does not apply when returning to Dubai from Muscat. But yes, vehicle inspections at the UAE border are more stringent.

Upon crossing from Oman to the UAE, you'll receive an exit stamp which you must keep safe for the next checkpoint on the UAE side. At the UAE border, park your car and proceed to the immigration post. UAE residents and tourists have separate buildings, while citizens can use dedicated checkpoints.

Inside the arrival hall, present your passports for inspection. Following passport control, drive through an x-ray scan and stop at a checkpoint for a thorough inspection of your car's contents.

Collect a stamped paper from the officer, which you'll need at the final drive-through checkpoint. Post this, you can easily drive back to Dubai from Oman.
