great ,so there is a road !!!!!!, in 2006 was there a tunnel also ? on the route i can see 4 borders since its passing via oman which again has uae territory within that oman.
please if you can put as many detail of that route it will be helpful for me since i am planning to drive across but my only worry is in-between borders.

I remember it just very roughly, but I started at Madha waterfalls, followed the wadis to 25° 15.619'N 56° 13.405'E (steep descent - 4L, 1st gear), and I came out at 25° 14.456'N 56° 11.652'E. At that time there was no tunnel and no border and on the way were only goats.
