Return Route Map

The return drive from Khasab heads west through the dramatic mountain road to the Tibat border, then south on the E11 through Ras Al Khaimah and Ajman before joining the E311 (Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road) for the final approach into Sharjah.

The mountain section from Khasab to Tibat is the same scenic 30 km drive as the outbound journey — winding through limestone canyons with dramatic views of the sea far below. After clearing the border (Oman exit + UAE entry), the highway drive is straightforward and well-marked.
