UAE border problem at wadi bih
Posted: Mon Apr 19, 2010 9:56 am
Hello All,
Ok so, I have been away too long from AD4x4 due to work (not good), wedding (good) and holidays (also good) so finally get a chance to get back into this...
Drove from Dibba to Ras al Khaimah last weekend through wadi bih, had no trouble getting through the UAE checkpoint at Dibba and the Omani checkpoint in the middle of the wadi but at the UAE checkpoint at the end of the wadi near to Ras al Khaimah they would not leave us through..we had our passports with uae residence and all other documents for the jeep, but the soldiers wouldn't let us through and were certainly not open for discussion on it either...
anybody know why??? is this a new thing or was I an eejet for trying it in the first place???
So had to drive back again the way we came, which was not a bad thing as the scenery is great...
Cheers,
Keitho
