Travel requirements from Dubai (UAE) to Oman by road: Quick Checklist
Oman tourist visa (obtained online or at the border, subject to nationality).
A passport should be valid at least 6 months after the visa issue date.
VACCINE IS NO LONGER REQUIRED! (Oman Air Travel advisory on Covid-19)
PCR test is NOT required. (Oman Air Travel advisory on Covid-19)
Advisable Travel health insurance covering covid-19.
NO LONGER REQUIRED! Fill in a form on Oman’s Travel Authorisation System before your trip to Oman HERE.
Car registration (mulkiya), car insurance in Oman-orange card.
NOC certificate for a rental car or if you are driving a borrowed car.
Driving your own car from UAE to Oman
When driving your own car from UAE to Oman, make sure to obtain a so-called orange card from your insurance company. This card serves as an insurance policy and is required when traveling in the GAIF (General Arab Insurance Federation) countries (which includes Oman).
Depending on your insurance policy (if you purchased a policy that covers Oman territory) you either get an orange card free of charge or at a fee to cover your car in The Sultanate.
When I requested an orange card, I have received it instantly at the Insurance company office. However, I have heard that in some cases, it may take a couple of days to prepare it. Therefore, the best is to call your insurance company and ask for all the details about the orange card processing times and costs.
NOTE: Orange card covers damages caused by the Insured to a Third Party in a foreign GAIF member country (including Oman in this case).
What if my car is on the mortgage, can I still drive it to Oman?
If your car is on the mortgage, it can be a little confusing. However, from information online, it seems that Hatta-Al Wajajah border is allowing passengers with cars that are still on a loan.
Can I drive somebody else’s (my friend’s) car to Oman?
Yes, you can drive someone else’s car as long as you have the no-objection certificate (NOC) from the owner, car registration documents, and insurance covering the territory of Oman (orange card).
Can I take a rental car from Dubai to Oman?
Yes, it is usually possible to drive a rental car from Dubai to Oman. However, you must first check with the rental company if they allow taking the car to the neighboring country. For example, with Discovercars or Rentalcars, before making a reservation, you can always check if taking a car to Oman is permitted by the rental company.
If yes, they will have to give you a no objection certificate (NOC) and advice on additional requirements. Also, you must obtain car insurance for Oman. This you can either get at your car rental company or at the border (although the latter can be more expensive).
Is an international license valid in UAE and Oman?
If you are a tourist visiting the UAE and are willing to drive to Oman, you have to have a driving license issued at your country of residence, matching the residency stated on your passport. In addition, you may also need International Driving Permit (IDP)- some rental companies do request this, and some do not. It also depends on which country’s driving license you hold.
Can I use a UAE license to drive in Oman?
If you are a UAE resident, you can use your UAE driving license to drive in Oman.
ADMIN: If any question, feel free to comment. Will be answered shortly ❤😊

Brother what is the hotel and food price in salalah? Just an estimate please. And one more question. Can I drive my car alone without having family or friends? I mean do they give Visa to single person traveling by car?
Its depend on season - Depends upon how many people are there for living & food. Check booking.com for best deals. Yes u can go alone. Yes visa is not required as per new policy.

💗 💞💞💞🙉🙉🙉
Lovely photography and very informative commentary. I am amazed at the drone footage. Which drone did you use? looks like a very pricey one🙂
Hey Adeel - I appreciate your kind words. The location was actually incredible, so the drone just performed its task. It's the Mavic Air 2, my friend.
Very nice video
I have question
His car main hum ha ragtime Salamah wo humaray name per hona lazmi by ??
Thanks for comments -- Always open for question-- I didnt get your point
I am an UAE residence my passport is going to expire in October do I need to renew before I visit
😛😛😛💋
Hi Nasir
Can you please guide me for hotel @ Ibri & Haima
In Ibri -- Al Majd Hotel is good -- In Haima -- On road shell petrol pump -- Traveler line hotel -- Both hotels are good for stay on travel
Please mention the month you recommend in Summer & Winter respectively. I want to avoid peak season.
September is best for season and avoid peak time.
Nice video just came across this video. Just wondering are drones allowed in there ?
You may ask Customer Service Department.
Civil Aviation Authority.
Office: +968-24354433
@@SkyViewTraveler thank you for the info
@@dreamerdude24 welcome bro
Can we get Sim card at the border ?
Thanks for your informative video, let me know how many days u recommend to stay there in hotel and which hotel is effordable to stay safely, there is there any hospital near by in emergency.
Hi -- 5 days in Salalah is advisable, for hotel booking, visit booking.com. Yes good hospitals are availavle in Salalah near carrefour area.
@Nasir bhai visa charges b btayen
Before it was 50 AED / person -- Now I guess its free for UAE Residents.
Thank you for such an informative video. Please guide me what time is suitable for us as a family of 3 with a child, to reach the border so that we don't have to wait in long queue?
We are planning for coming eid holidays, i heard it's gonna be crowded on those days.
I cant suggest the time -- Coz its Eid Holidays and many people are rushing towards Salalah -- Border will be engaged 24 hours -- so late night around 3 am to leave Dubai for Salalah will be better time -- U can reach on border 5 am -- Hoping it will be less crowded -- But cant guarranteed
@SkyViewTraveler thank you for such a great advice.
@@samrarehman4666 welcome & safe travel
🇮🇮 😋
Car which we are travelling dubai to Oman should be on our name or we can use friends car
You can use friends car as well -- In video description all details are clearly defined.

Woow…is this which month brother ?
September 2022 (13 Sep to 17 Sep)
😼😼
Salam Nasir bhai.. amazing video i must say you have certainly covered the relevant FAQ's and is much needed help
Just few questions in my mind and seeking your kind advice
1. is end of june that is eid ul adha holidays from Dubai a good time to travel or just after eid ul adha holidays would be better from these two options
2. Which place is better to take a break ibri or haima when traveling with family spouse and an 8 year old son
3. My profession is system administrator in IT field so is that profession eligible for online visa and i have also heard now for GCC residents visa fee is exempted how legit is that
4. My car insurance covers oman so for obtaining orange card do i need to check with my insurance or some other authority like adnic
5. How big is salalah in terms of visiting the famous points what i mean is can you recommend a good and addordable hotel in a centralized location so the points are easily approchable, im not fan of fancy hotel just looking for cleanliness and a good breakfast as the basic reason to travel is to enjoy nature not a staycation 😊
Thanks for taking time out :)
Thank you, I'll go straight to your questions:
At the end of June, it is also the khareef/monsoon season, but at the beginning of khareef, lush greenery is not expected in Salalah. The best time to visit is in August.
I'm certain that now there's free entry for UAE residents to Oman, and profession doesn't matter at all.
If you start travelling in the evening/night, then Ibri is the best place to stay when going to Salalah. If you leave in the morning, then Haima is better. The same goes for the return trip to Dubai. The purpose is to rest with the car. Don't plan to drive at night if you are the only driver.
Take the orange card from the insurance company and keep it with you.
Salalah is a large place, but it's best to take a hotel near the city/Carrefour. You can travel to any point in Salalah and return to the hotel every evening.
I hope it covers your queries. 👍
Thank you so much for the detailed feedback.. planning by end of July now Inshallah will bounce back if further help needed
Welcome 👍👍
Hi. I have a question, if my brother is the car owner and i am the one who is going to oman by car then is it possible to take insurance or only the car owner can take insurance or drive? Also any time for mulkiya validation?
You need NOC from Bro. You can take insurrance by yourself by showing ur DL and Mulkiya -- if mulkiya is valid for trip days then no problem -- But avoid closed renewal date. Better to renew the Mulkiya then travel.
Hi
How to take sim in Oman
From border or from any franchise -- May be from any petrol pump as well
How to visit salalah in first week of October???
You will not find greenary @ that time. Maximum 1st week of September.
I would like to visit oman(muscat) in this eid holiday, i have residence visa and my family under my sponsorship. Can I get visa on arrival? How much is it cost?
Which border is easy while coming from Abu Dhabi?
Yes -- Visa free entry -- No visa cost -- On arrival u can get visa -- What is your visa profession? Hatta border is good for Muscat -- Al Ain Border is good for Salalah
UAE residents require an Oman visa to cross the Oman border. However, there are certain exemptions to this requirement, such as GCC residents who are eligible for visa-free entry into Oman.
If you are a UAE resident planning to travel to Oman, you will need to obtain an Oman visa in advance, unless you fall under one of the exempted categories. It is recommended to check with the relevant authorities or embassy to confirm the latest visa requirements before traveling.

Brother , i Have Tiida 2009, But the car condition is good. would you recommend to drive from Dubai to Salalah with family. and if i can cover good points in salalah on sedan car.?
Not recommended -- Its small car -- Old model -- 95% chances u will be trapped on road. Dont put your family in danger. Never recommended bro 🙏🙏 Sinxere advice -- Its very long route -- So many cars heatup in desert road -- No help around desert. You will regret later -- 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@SkyViewTraveler Thanks man. Second option i will have to get in oman from Al Ain and get rent a car SUV from there. Please suggest and cost of Renting cars from first city of oman till salalah
No idea to take car on rent in Oman -- Please check with some resident of Oman 👍
Assalmualaikum brother, I was planning to travel to Salalah for 10 days to visit my brother in law next month along with my wife and two sons, I am resident here UAE, by profession I am security manager, my family is sponsored by me, I am planning to travel in my own car which is owned by me and I have travel insurance (orange card) for it for oman,
Kindly advise if my profession manager falls in approved professions? do I need to apply online visa if yes which catagory I will select for me and and my family. Or can I get visa at the border entry point, what's your suggestion.
For security manager, I am not sure as its not listed in allowed professions. Double check with Oman immigeration. If in case you are allowed to enter in Oman -- then no matter to take visa online or on border. Preffer Border visa in normal days -- But in public holidays apply online visa only as there will long qeues on border & time wastage. Hope it will help you.
What about rental car from dubai to oman or qatar etc,,,?
Allowed but required NOC
Also you may find details in Video Description
Im holding uae 5y tourist visa, so i can do gcc trip by rent a car from there, mean to say will they give me noc?
No dear -- U must be resident of UAE regardless how many years of Tourist visa you're holding --

Hi, What is Oman Orange Card?
Hi Sharif, its called Vehicle insurrance for Oman. If your insurranxe is not issuing Orange card, then you must take vehicle insurance from border.
Starting October 1, 2011, UAE drivers are required to obtain an "Orange Card" from their insurance provider to show at the border when driving between the UAE and Oman.
This is a service LeasePlan organizes free of charge for its clients and their staff.
The Orange Card system is such that each member country has a Unified Insurance Bureau which deals with insurance claims arising in another country. The system comes from the 1975 Arab Insurance Card Convention which member countries sign up to.
The Unified Insurance Bureau in the UAE is the Abu Dhabi National Insurance Company (ADNIC).
HOW TO GET AN ORANGE CARD:
Please submit a request for an Orange Card to LeasePlan Emirates here.
ADNIC requires a minimum of three (3) business days to process each Orange Card. However, LeasePlan recommends its clients submit any and all requests at least five (5) business days prior to the traveling date.
Once the Orange Card is complete and ready for collection LeasePlan will notify you via email or phone call.
COLLECTION MUST BE DONE IN ABU DHABI AT THE ADNIC HEADQUARTERS BY THE CLIENT IN PERSON.
Can we take rent a car for the trip?
Yess -- Allowed with NOC but check with rent a car --
ｐｒｏｍｏｓｍ
Can we go on company car or friends car ?
Car must be registered on your own name -- or else required NOC - Rent car is not allowed.
noc from friend ?
Oman tourist visa (obtained online or at the border, subject to nationality) but for GCC residents, now its free from Oct 2022 onward.
A passport should be valid at least 6 months after the visa issue date.
VACCINE IS NO LONGER REQUIRED!
PCR test is NOT required.
Car registration (mulkiya), car insurance in Oman-orange card.
NOC certificate if you are driving a borrowed car.
Yes, you can drive someone else’s car as long as you have the no-objection certificate (NOC) from the owner, car registration documents, and insurance covering the territory of Oman (orange card).
Orange card is mandatory even if my car insurance is covered in oman?
