Getting Around
|
Buraimi Bruraimi (pronounce Bramee) is Omans half of the Al-Ain oasis. Most of the things to see are in Al-Ain proper in the UAE, but since there are no border formalities here, this isn't much of a problem. Hotels are a lot cheaper in Buraimi, so staying here and hopping over to Al-Ain might be an idea. Note that the UAE taxis have meters and do cruise around in the Omani part of town, but refuse to use them while in Oman or even when driving to Oman. Haggle or have yourself driven to the roundabout on the border and walk if your hotel is close. Note also that most Omani shops will readily accept UAE currency, but the other way around is much more of a problem.
