Muscat Travel Forum

Guys

We are planning to visit Muscat from Dubai through road in July end- August first week.

We do have a valid Kuwaiti residency and definetely will take a UAE visit visa ( on arrival) to spend two days in Dubai. However there are two questions , related to Oman visit///

1. Will we require visit visa for Oman too? will it be available on land borders while crossing from Dubai to Muscat.. if we enter oman , our visit visa to dubai will be cancelled so how we can resturn to dubai from Oman?

2. What is average temperature in Muscat those days ? Will it be hot like other countries in Middle East?

Answer visa questions is almost impossible if you don't state your nationality.
Yes, you will almost certainly need a visa for Oman also, unless you are of a GCC nationality. Whether or not you can get that on arrival, again depends on your nationality. When returning to Dubai/UAE you will need either a double-entry visa or a new visa. Some nationals don't need a visa for Oman if they have a Dubai entry stamp.

hi,

It seems that it is good idea to apply for multiple entries in Dubai , at Dubai Immigration airport....It will help us in rentering Dubai from Muscat....

We will try to take Oman visit visa from kuwait ( for whole family).. it would be more safe....

But what about temperature in Muscat? we are looking for some place around Dubai with lower temperatures... Does it worth Muscat to visit for that purpose or some other good places around Dubai can help us for that purpose?

By the way what are the charges of Hatta Taxi from Dubai to Oman? Can we have some big rent a car for around 6-7 family members?

You can't do that. Either you don't need a visa/get just a passport stamp valid for 60 days, in which case you'll just get a new one when you re-enter, or you need to arrange for a multiple-entry visa in advance through a sponsor.

The temperatures will be about the same in the areas all around Dubai, and July/August is the worst time. Mid-to high forties celcius, even 50C, and humidity in the 90% range.

You still haven't told us what passport you travel on, so the visa questions are hard to answer. Rules are different for different passports.
