In the section on Women Travellers in the Directory at the end of the current edition of the Oman, UAE and Arabian Peninsula Lonely Planet, it states that:
"Any specific restrictions on visas, travel or general movement of women (mostlty in Saudi Arabia and crossing the border alone by bus in Oman) are covered in the Women Travellers section in the individual country chapters."

Thanks for your assistance.

I do speak arabic quite fluently, so I guess that should help ... but still…
Hi all, just got back from a roadtrip to Muscat and sorroundings. Drove down from Dubai via Hatta border. Getting out of UAE border was quite easy and quick.

I am a resident of UAE so had to buy the AGCC visa which is OMR 5 per person. They do check for vehicle insurance in Oman so keep that handy.
