A complete guide is provided for your convenience that will ensure that you have a comfortable, enjoyable and exciting trip from Dubai until you reach your destination at Khasab Musandam.
There are several documents that you will need to carry as you begin your Khasab Musandam trip. As you will be crossing the UAE-Oman border, you will need to present your passport, UAE residence visa or visit visa to Oman depending on your original city of departure at the road immigration office.
For tourists that are visiting Dubai, you might be required to apply for a visit visa depending on the passport of origin. Furthermore, you must have a multiple visit visa to Dubai to reenter the country.
If not a visa on arrival can be used as it is applicable to UAE resident visa holders. Each visitor must ensure that both the visa and passport have a validity of at least 90 days from the travel date as this is a requirement for the Omani immigration. UAE residents also need to present documents that show their profession eligibility and must have their sponsor present with them if they are dependent. If all these criteria are met, then a smooth arrival and departure from Oman can be ensured.
As you book your trip with a travel agency, it is essential to review all their policies as the time for your trip approaches. This will help you understand the consequences of any cancellations made last minute and how big of a refund you can get at the end of the day.
Many trips are also canceled by the agency in case of any unfavorable weather conditions, government instructions, or other unforeseen reasons upon which a complete refund is guaranteed. Besides these policies, other aspects regarding any gear, equipment, clothing, or restrictions and allowances must be cross-checked in advance to avoid any inconveniences during the trip.
There are many necessary items that you will need to carry with you that might not necessarily be available at the staff’s disposal during the trip. On your road trip from Dubai to Khasab Musandam, it would be advisable to carry snacks and other finger foods that will help you satisfy your appetite on your journey.
Furthermore, other essentials such as sunscreen, hats, swimwear and a change of clothes can also be carried if you intend on swimming or snorkeling on the trip.

Any life-saving medication (such as EpiPens) that you have been prescribed can also be packed along with other necessities.
