Saudi-Oman road to bypass UAE - Emirates 24/7

Saudi-Oman road to bypass UAE - Emirates 24/7:

"Travellers shuttling between Saudi Arabia and neighbouring Oman will no longer need to cross the UAE when a road directly linking the two Gulf countries is completed in late 2013, according to Saudi and Oman officials.

The SR1.6-billion motorway will pass through the eastern Saudi province of Ihsa and the Rub Al Khali desert (Empty Quarter) past the UAE Ghuweifat border point and extend into Oman, where most of the road link has already between completed.

The road inside Oman is around 160km long while Saudi Arabia is carrying out a 519km long motorway."
