The first bus service connecting the UAE’s Ras Al Khaimah to Oman’s Musandam launched this week, with the Musandam Governorate holding a reception to welcome the landmark service. The Ras Al Khaimah Transport Authority (RAKTA) launched the maiden bus service on October 6. The service was launched in partnership with Musandam Governorate, and will operate on weekends with two trips per day. "The launch of this service is in line with the directives of the UAE's leadership to enhance tourism between the two countries and facilitate the movement of individuals, both residents and tourists," said Ismail Hassan Al Balushi, Director General of RAKTA. The cost of a one-way trip is Dh50 from the Ras Al Khaimah Bus Station to Wilayat of Khasab in Musandam. The service departs from the main bus station in Ras Al Khaimah and passes through seven stops along the way, ending in Khasab, Musandam Governorate. The bus ride will take approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes and will be available from 8am to 6pm on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
