Eid is a Muslim holiday that comes twice a year. Once it celebrates the end of Ramadan, then on the 10th of Dulhajj in the Islamic calendar. Muslims celebrate these holidays by attending Eid prayers at a Mosque, giving out gifts, and visiting family. This tradition is observed all over the world by Muslims as well as non-Muslims alike.
On this special occasion, Omani nationals who’re living in Dubai spare no effort to go back home. Everyone has the desire to spend this special day with their family and loved ones, especially on Eid al Adha. Since Eid ul Adha lasts 3-4 days, many UAE nationals also pack their bags for a trip to Oman. UAE and Oman share a large border and there is no Visa requirement for people with a UAE passport. This article will explore the ways in which people from UAE can get to Oman for Eid.
Dubai To Muscat By Air
The world is shrinking and it’s now easier than ever to hop on a plane and jet off to your next holiday destination. Many airlines offer direct flights from Dubai to Muscat. This is the fastest way as the flights usually take about two hours and are very convenient. The flight time can vary depending on which airport you are flying from and which airport you are flying to.
Dubai To Oman By Road
The second way is by car. This takes about six to seven hours and can be a very scenic route, but it does require an international driving license. If you want a different kind of adventure, hop in the car from Dubai and head out for Oman. Most Emrities prefer a road trip because of the beautiful scenery on the way.
Along the way, you could stop at Oman’s capital, Muscat. You might even see the Sultan’s Palace. Oman is an adventure in itself. The landscape is a mix of rugged mountains and lush valleys. Beautiful beaches line the coast, which looks like a picture out of Arabian Nights with its intricate blue-tiled domes and white walls.
Dubai To Oman By Water
The third way is by boat or ferry, which also takes about eight hours but may be more comfortable than a car ride. You can take a ferry or a hydrofoil from the port of Dubai to the port of Muscat. You will also have a chance to see the beautiful scenery on the way. There are two ports in Muscat. One is called Bait Al Zubair, which is located at the western end of the city and one is called Al Ghubra, which is near the old part of Muscat. The price of fare for a hydrofoil trip from Dubai to Muscat starts at around 3500 AMD.
This article discussed three different ways for you to travel from Dubai to Oman for the upcoming eid holidays. Each one has its benefits and limitations, so you can choose any of them based on your interests.
