Route Map

The route from Dubai heads north through Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah, then northeast to the Tibat border crossing. After clearing immigration (15–45 min), you enter Musandam and drive approximately 30 km through spectacular mountain scenery to reach Khasab.

The mountain road between the border and Khasab is one of the most scenic drives in the Gulf region — winding through limestone canyons with dramatic views of the sea far below.
