Flying out of Muscat, Oman - anyone any experience
 

How easy is it to get a flight out of Oman (to India, Malaysia, Australia etc) with a bike? Are there airlines that will handle that sort of cargo?

Flying out of Oman..
 

Hiya-

Next to the airport - about 100m past the airport on the motorway - heading away from muscat/mutrah towards seeb - there is the Airport cargo place - here is about the only place you will get info... sorry - not done the bike out of the country thing yet - but - this is the only place you will get info....

hope its a starter,

Tony.

Ok I'm on my way!

ps. Do you know anywhere I can store my bike for 3 months or so while I explore India by foot/Royal Enfield - which ever is the faster!

dubai
 

flying from dubai is probably easier and cheaper, it's a bigger hubb. and only a one days drive away.

cheers for that will try and make enquires as I pass through it next week - so very useful info, thanks

Paul, did you make it across the water yet? I am interested in anything you find out about shipping, as my visa for IRan is not 100% and shipping from Muscat or Dubai needs to be Plan B for me as well.

Hey Rene! How are you mate? So you made up the eastcoast of Africa? We met in Livingstone in may! It´s Lars, the swedish cyclist! :-)

I was 5 month in south america, but not so much peddaling over there... (malaria?)

But in the mid jan I will fly in to sanaa and cycle up to Turkey...

Did you liked Yemen&Oman? I really look forward to it...

I haven´t done so mush research yet, but I hope there is a ferry from Qatar to Iran so I can go Yemen-Oman-UAE-Saudi-Qatar-Iran..

I wish you well Rene, and I want a rematch.. (pool)

Hi Lars, Good to hear from you. I am in Ethiopa now, heading in a few weeks to Yemen. So we may be able to have that rematch in San'a.

I will drop you a line as I get closer!
Cheers,
Rene

Hi Rene

No research yet - it was Xmas and Eid here in Dubai!

But so far I have learnt the Jebel Ali port in South Dubai handles a lot of furniture removal to and from India so should be able to handle a bike (I might pretend it is a coffee table!)

aim to find out more in next week or so
