Abu Dhabi – Oman Border & Visa Run

| Ruwais, UAE | October 5, 2014

If your relatives or your friends want to extend their 30 days tourist visa in the Abu Dhabi Emirate they have 2 options. You can go to the Residency & Expatriates Affairs office and pay 700 AED or You can do an Oman Visa Run and pay 35 AED upon UAE exit plus 5 Omani Riyals (48 AED) upon Oman entry. Oman exit and UAE entry is free of charge.

I chose to do the Oman visa run from Al Ain (eastearn part of Abu Dhabi Emirate) through Mezyad Border for my mother-in-law. Not only is it cheaper, but you can repeat this process without restrictions.

While local time at the first whistle in Brazil (the organizing country of the event) was 17:00 Thursday 12th June, in the UAE the time was 00:00 Friday 13th June. Keep in mind the “+7″ hours time difference in case you schedule your favorite matches using Brazilian hours.

In order to view the 2014 Fifa World Cup in the UAE, you initially needed to subscribe to beIN Sports Package for a monthly fee of 78 AED (~22 USD). The process was very easy from the etisalat receiver box, go to Menu -> Extra -> Self Service and select the package.

Starting from 1 of June, beIN Sports Group is extorting UAE football fans

Rental prices mainly depend on the type of car (sedan, suv) and the number of days that you wish to get the car for. A simple google search will reveal many companies offering this service.

Driving in the UAE is generally a safe and stress-free day-to-day experience. It can be tricky in crowded areas (example: Mussafah), but you can get accustomed to the local driving styles.
