We did it, and had the privilege and honour of meeting Saleh.



I will not go into details, here's just a short story:



Our Croatia-Oman-Croatia ride was stopped in Dubai, on the way back from Oman. I got seriously ill, had to be hospitalized for a few days, could not finish the ride back home.



Saleh's hospitality, help and friendship was immesuarable. He helped us in every way, without him we would still be in Dubai, trying to organise transport for the bike. Now we are at home, the bike is somewhere at the sea between Dubai and Europe, and we have a new friend in Dubai.



Saleh, thank you for everything.





Boris





p.s. If anyone's interested in recent info about Turkey, Iran, Oman, or ferry between Iran and UAE, just ask :-)


Hi Boris
You are more than welcome to visit us in UAE any time.
We did what you deserve as a visitor to our country, we are glad you enjoyed your stay with us.
Am confident that you will be back to us soon.
Ride safe
Regards
Saleh

info motorbike rent in Dubai

Hello Saleh,

My name is Tommaso and I'm from Italy.
Luciano_bragg suggested me to ask you if you know company that rent motorbikes in Dubai.
My idea it's to go to Oman starting from Dubai, period end of December.
I'm oriented to an enduro bike , not very big but comfortable for a 7 /8 days round trip.
I know there is the possibility to rent motorbike in Oman but I will start from Dubai .
Thank you in advance for your kind informations.

Tom

Hi Tom
You are more than welcome to visit us in Dubai and enjoy riding in Oman. We can offer you a rental bike from a friend of our group as we don't have any company offering enduro bikes for rent.
You can email me on dubai355@hotmail.com

Saleh

Hi Saleh,
I should be in UAE in early March, then I go to Oman and back UAE to take the ferry to Bandar Abbas.
Do you know the ferry scheduled in the days before the Nowruz (Persian New Year) March 21 2017?
The shipping company asks me an insurance before the UAE customs, you know something about it?
Thanks
Roberto

Hi Roberto
You are welcome to visit us and you enjoy our ride
You cannot depend on the ferry schedule so early specially as they are having the new year, we can check with few weeks in advance before your departure.

I can arrange the insurance in advance few weeks before your arrival.

Ride safe
Regards
Saleh

[QUOTE=Dubai355;403579][COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]:____________________

Hi, Saleh, I'll give you a quick look forward to your availability.

I am Antonio from Italy, I and my wife in May returned from a long time experience in Iran and we want to return to the Middle East.

Since we do not have much time to go back and forth, we would like to send the bikes to Oman or EAU and then land back across Iran again.

Can you give some advice on who to contact for motorcycle expedition?

Thank you.

In Uae you can visit many places in the 7 emirates, but you will enjoy Oman for sure a lot of riders keep Uae as translate and spend the most days in Oman.
I can refer you to some good Italians friends who ride in Oman up to salalah.

We want to thank Saleh for all the help he has given to us in organizing the trip to the south of Oman till the border of Yemen. Without his help, the last trip from Dubai to Salalah following the coast would never been possible. Thank you very much Saleh, we hope to see you in Italy very soon ;-)
