Uae
 

Is there is any problems moving around the UAE on bike such as crossing in to Dubai from Saudi etc.
Steve

Not to be (too) pedantic, Steve, but you can't cross in to Dubai from Saudi Arabia. :smartass: Abu Dhabi emirate accounts for the vast majority of the UAE and would be your point of entry.

Entry would depend on your nationality but with a British passport you would get a tourist visa at the border. They would probably like to see your Saudi bike registration etc. but you won't need a carnet.

Thanks

If you need accommodation, having crossed the border in the evening, there's a very shabby but friendly enough rest house at Silah: N24 00.908 E51 45.913

It's on the main road; not in the town itself.

Thanks Stephan,

Have you ever thought of giving up the day job and becoming the middle eastern tourist / traveller information specialist, you appear to have a wealth of knowledge which you are always ready to share and help others'

Thanks very much

Steve.

Will be in Jeddah this W/E for a month if you are anywhere close.

Cheers, Steve,and thanks for the invite.

Actually, I have given up the day job and my CRF trip is finally on. Roll on June... :thumbup1:
