Wadi Bih boarder - open or not?
The usual question - I'm going to drive RAK to Dibba through Wadi Bih next week.
4 people - 2 UAE residents, 2 UK vist visas - will we get through the crossing point currently or do we need Omani visas?
Have crossed through fine 3 times before... but it's like shifting sands out there!
Anyone have recent info?
Thanks,
Auto

What do you need, all persons there in person with their passports? No need for photos or the like?
30 mins you say - could do it in the morning of the trip? (It's a week day not Fri / Sat).
Cheers again.

No, you don't need all the people there, just one of you with the 4 passports and that's it. Try to get there early as it fills up around 11pm and if I where you I'd do it the day before, you just never know here!
