Staying in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and being close to the Sultanate of Oman me and my travel company decided to go to the dessert city of Al Ain, UAE and cross the border to Oman. Normally when entering Oman you will have to apply for a visa but according to our guide it was possible to enter Oman with a visa if only visiting the city of Al Buraymi. So we went to the Hili border by cab from the Al Ain bus station, showed our passports and entered Oman.
The Omani side of the border felt less green, less rich and for us - even more exotic! We took a cab to our final destination - Al Khandaq Fort. It was very peaceful, we seemed to be the only visitors at the time. We stayed for maybe 45 minutes to take some pictures, breathe the Omani air and feel alive. Afterwards we hade lunch at a place nearby, then back to the Emirates as there was much more to see.

Go to the market and see some goats and other animal fare. Recommended for city folks - they tend to get excited about this kind of stuff.

Q: Is it possible to drive from Abu Dhabi to Buraymi, Oman and get your passport stamped upon reentering UAE? We are on a 30 day...
A: Yes, you can. However the Omani passport control post is not in Buraimi itself, but rather some way down the road (~ 30 km) on the main highway to Muscat.

The town of Buraimi (or Wilayat Al-Buraimi to give it its full name) lies on the Omani side of the UAE-Oman border. To all intents and purposes, Buraimi is joined to the town of Al-Ain (in the UAE)...
