A driver who knows the route between two emirates

Private transfer from Muscat to Abu Dhabi with hotel or airport pickup, English-speaking driver, air-conditioned vehicle, and refreshments included for the 5-hour journey between Oman and the UAE.

The experience

Getting from Muscat to Abu Dhabi without renting a car means finding a reliable ride across the border. This transfer picks you up from your hotel or airport in Muscat and takes you directly to your destination in Abu Dhabi in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. An English-speaking driver handles the route and the border crossing, so you don't navigate it yourself. The journey takes around five hours, and the driver meets you with a sign bearing your name.

The vehicle comes stocked with bottled water, coffee and tea, so you can refresh yourself during the drive. WiFi on board lets you stay connected or download entertainment for the road. Wheelchair-accessible vehicles are available, and specialized infant seats can be arranged when you book. The driver collects you from wherever you're staying (hotel, airport, or another location) as long as you provide the address and your estimated arrival time in advance.
