Emirates and Oman by car

Hello!

I am planning to go to the Emirates and then to the Musandam with my own car, from Doha. Have you ever tempted that experience- or have you heard about it? I cannot find any information related to what visas, insurance you need- especially since you're driving through the KSA.

Thank you for your advice and help!!

Thank you for your anwers! I tried to call Saudi Embassy but I think it was their lunch time and I got no answers except the nice voice of the answering machine taht kept repeating again and again.......

Will try again  on Sunday, hoping they will help! Anyway, to get to this agent to have the transit visa in Saudi, you need to go through the Embassy don't you?

Please make sure you take Transit visa in advance ( to travel thru KSA). You will not get any type of visa from saudi border- on arrival.

 Rest all places UAE, Oman etc you can get it from border itself.

 

Hav a nice trip

"Make a difference or make way"

 

I have gone to Musandam from Dubai. If you have a residence permit in Doha then If I am not mistaken you will get the visit visa at the entry point in KSA and UAE. Musandam is a great place and you can see lots of dolphins swimming beside the dhow (boat) they take you in. I dont think u need any sort of insurance.
