So, I tried to get extension of my residence visa or a tourist visa at The Immigration Department on Trade Centre Road, but they couldn't help. So I had to go on a visa run to Oman.
After a 7 - 8 hours long school day with LOTS of baking, I started my journey. I went alone, since my husband don't have his passport back yet. We have done the trip before, it's so pretty. But this time, it was already dark before I left Dubai City.
There were a lot of traffic until I passed International City/Dragon Mart on E44. E44 is called many different names, depending on which section you are on. But some of the names in this end are Ras Al Khor St., Al Awir Rd and Hatta-Oman Rd. It's straight all the way to Oman.
I actually drove past the Warsan Nurseries, didn't stop, but will go there soon. It's always fun to have a look around there.
The Oman trip always take longer than expected with all the check-points. And they stopped me, asked me questions at all of them.
At the 5th stop I paid dhs 200,- and got an Oman Entry and Exit stamp. If you are going, tell them that you'll return to Dubai (and not go into Oman), it goes faster then.
On my way back at the Dubai border, I was lucky they just opened a new counter as I walked in. Otherwise, a whole bus would have been in front of me. No waiting time, perfect!
When I got home a little past 10pm, I was tired.
