Al Danab Border Post (UAE)

Park on the right hand side of the ‘gates’ when you arrive at the border.

– Enter the ‘departures hall’. Remember your passports, car insurance document (digital or printed showing Oman coverage), and your car registration card (digital or printed copy)

– There is a small charge of approximately 34AED per person as an exit fee. Payable by card.

– From past experience, this process shouldn’t take more then 15-20minutes. 

– There are toilets and a small coffee and snacks vending machine (only take cash)

– Once done, drive through the gates where you will just need to show the small paper slip given to you in the departures hall. 

Oman Border Post

– Frustratingly, you now need to park on the left hand side, and enter the ‘Arrivals Hall‘. 

– You will need your passports, car insurance and registration documents again. 

– There is no charge at this point.

– Once complete, you will drive through the next set of gates, to the inspection area (wind the windows down). Depending on the person, they may ask you to hop out and open your boot so they can take a look inside. They are normally super friendly and especially like to say hi to the kids.

– LAST ONE….pull up to the small booth as you exit and hand over the second white slip of paper….and you’re through!
