Two-vehicle border service
Your first driver takes you to the Saudi exit post at Al Batha. After passport control, you cross to the UAE post at Al Ghuwaifat by free shuttle bus or taxi, and your second driver is waiting on the UAE side.

Route guide
From Riyadh, the drive to Muscat heads east across Saudi Arabia, enters the UAE at Al Batha / Al Ghuwaifat and finishes through the Hatta border into Oman. At about 1,400 km it is a two-day trip for most people. Riyadh residents heading for the Omani coast and mountains, families relocating and travellers combining a UAE stay with Oman use it. Each country has its own driver, coordinated in advance.
Travel time & distance
Duration
~2 days recommended
Distance
~1,400 km
Plan for about 2 days. The Saudi highway to the UAE border is a long first stretch, and there are two border crossings to clear. An overnight in the UAE splits the trip well, leaving a shorter second day through Hatta to Muscat.
Where to break the journey
Most travellers stop overnight in the UAE after crossing from Saudi Arabia. Abu Dhabi or Dubai both work, depending on where you have friends or a favourite hotel. The next morning, a UAE driver takes you to Hatta for Oman entry, and from there it is on to Muscat. You book the hotel; we line up the drivers around it.
Border crossing process
Saudi Arabia → UAE → Oman
This route crosses 2 borders, each with its own arrangement. At Al Batha / Al Ghuwaifat: Your first driver takes you to the exit post. After passport control, you cross to the other post by free shuttle bus or by taxi (about SAR 300-400, paid locally). Your second driver is waiting on the other side. At Hatta / Al Wajajah: After exit control, a shuttle bus takes you between the two posts (a small fee may apply for the last leg, paid locally). Your next driver is waiting just past the border.

Paperwork for two borders
You will pass Saudi exit, UAE entry, UAE exit and Oman entry. Check the rules for your passport for both the UAE and Oman before you travel, as visas and entry fees are not included. GCC nationals move freely.
Riyadh collection, Muscat arrival
Your driver collects you in Riyadh from Olaya, Al Malqa, the Diplomatic Quarter, a compound or King Khalid International Airport (RUH). In Muscat we drop off in Qurum, Al Mouj, Shatti Al Qurum, Al Khuwair or at Muscat International Airport (MCT).
Travel documents & customs requirements
Passengers are responsible for valid passports, visas and entry permits, and compliance with customs rules in every country on the route.
