Road trip: Dubai visa run

Until my husband visa is sorted I volition possess got to possess got monthly trips out of the province to renew my tourist visa. For the outset trip, along amongst my brother-in-laws family, nosotros decided to watch Dubai.

Having 2 immature kids amongst us nosotros decided that driving would survive the easier than flying, addition I was glad to possess got the chance to run across a fleck to a greater extent than of Oman.

Depending on how fast you lot drive, together with how long you lot it takes you lot to teach through the border, the journeying to Dubai tin sack possess got anywhere betwixt 4 together with half dozen hours.

The longest component subdivision of the journeying is betwixt Muscat together with the United Arab Emirates border. The edge itself is rattling strange, you lot become through a procedure of exiting Sultanate of Oman together with entering the UAE nearly iv times, needing to teach permission to leave, permission to enter, stamped out of Sultanate of Oman together with and thence in conclusion allowed inwards to the UAE. I don’t quite sympathize the reasoning but nosotros were lucky that both in that place together with dorsum in that place was no queue.

It is directly obvious when you lot possess got entered the UAE, the landscape is drastically unlike compared to Oman. The UAE has the landscape you lot would imagine a desert to have, together with a fleck to a greater extent than light-green than I expected, whereas Sultanate of Oman has mountains together with is to a greater extent than rocky.
It in all probability goes without maxim that the metropolis of Muscat together with of Dubai are non comparable either, the skyline of Dubai made upwards of highrise buildings together with in that place are pockets of structure everywhere equally they add together to the city.

Unfortunately, I didn’t teach much of a adventure to soak upwards the atmosphere of the metropolis during this trip, other than to renewing my visa, nosotros needed to watch Ikea (there isn’t ane inwards Oman) together with add together a fleck to a greater extent than slice of furniture to the flat.

I almost idea nearly blogging nearly that sense separately because shopping inwards Ikea is usually stressful plenty without it besides beingness the outset newly-weds habitation shopping trip. Ultimately it was a success though together with nosotros managed to walk away amongst a lot of boxes of things for the flat, together with nosotros were notwithstanding talking to each other.

I’m going to Dubai in ane lawsuit again inwards merely over a week, but this fourth dimension on a girly trip amongst my mum together with sister, which should survive a lot to a greater extent than fun.
