'''The United Arab Emirates''' is a [[Middle East]]ern federation of seven emirates. It has borders to [[Saudi Arabia]] and [[Oman]]. Its capital is [[Abu Dhabi (city)|Abu Dhabi]].
==Common visa facility with [[Oman]] ==
[[UAE]] has a common visa facility with [[Oman]], if you obtained your [[UAE]] visa in [[Dubai]] airport and it is still valid for at least 3 weeks; then you can get a 3-weeks free visa for Oman. It's only the countries mentioned on this site that are benefiting from this: [http://www.rop.gov.om/english/dg_passport_visa_dubai.asp]. What that website does not mention though, is that this is ONLY possible if you go through the [[Hatta]] border (I hitched down to [[Al Ain]] border, only to get the information that I had to go through [[Hatta]]). You still need the exit-stamp from [[UAE]] even though you want the 3-weeks free visa.

Jakob:
:In January 2012 I spent about a week in [[Dubai]] before I hitched into [[Oman]]. I successfully managed to hitchhike inside the city. Especially the people from India and Pakistan was very happy to help me. The big E11 highway inside Dubai city would be insane to try and hitchhike on though, unless you find a good on-ramp. Combining the (quite cheap) metro and hitchhiking worked pretty good in the city. I also found it very easy to hitchhike to [[Oman]], I never waited more than 10 minutes, usually one of the first cars passing by picked me up. Only 1 guy asked how much I would pay. But as Felix writes, you might want to get a taxi out of the city center . I stayed with a host outside the center, so I managed without a taxi.--[[User:Jakobwithk|Jakobwithk]] 10:12, 16 January 2012 (CET)
