We have just completed an amazing 8-day road trip from Qatar to Oman, covering a total distance of 4500Km and creating countless unforgettable memories.
One of the highlights was travelling through the newly opened Rub al Khali (The Empty Quarter) road.
The Empty Quarter Road is a unique and thrilling route that runs through the vast desert wilderness of the Arabian Peninsula, connecting Qatar and Oman. This road trip takes travelers through a remote and rugged landscape, with stunning views of towering sand dunes, rocky mountains, and endless stretches of barren desert.
Starting from Qatar, the journey typically begins in the capital city of Doha and proceeds southward towards the border with Saudi Arabia. From there, the road continues through the Rub' al Khali.
The road trip from Qatar to Oman through the Empty Quarter Road is a truly unique and unforgettable adventure, offering a rare glimpse into the raw beauty and harsh realities of desert life.
For those considering a Qatar-Oman road trip and planning to take this route, here are a few things to keep in mind:
1. The drive through the barren Rub al Khali desert, starting from Qatar, is a single stretch of approximately 670 kilometers. During the journey, there are no amenities available except for a petrol station called Z Oil Petrol Station, which is located approximately 370km away from Salwa Port.
2. While the Z Oil Petrol Station does have a couple of restaurants, I would recommend bringing your favorite food from Qatar or Ibri when you return.
3 . Rub al Khali is a two-way road that sees a significant amount of truck traffic. It's important to exercise caution while driving and, if possible, avoid traveling at night.
4. Beware of sandstorms, as they tend to worsen at night. If visibility starts to diminish, it's advisable to pull over to the side of the road and wait until conditions improve before continuing your journey.
5. If you are a resident of GCC countries (in our case QID holders), you can obtain an Oman visa on arrival free of charge if your stay is less than two weeks. Alternatively, you can opt for a one-month visa for OMR 5 (equivalent to QAR 50).
6. Upon your return, anticipate some delays as you will need to pass through Saudi Arabia again after exiting Oman. Your vehicle will be screened in a dedicated X-ray slot, so it's important to be patient.
7. It's important to note that the speed limit on Rub al Khali road is 90km/h. Please ensure that you always drive within the speed limit.
Have a safe trip!!
