UAE- Salalah road trip with kids / 3200 km drive/keep this tips in mind /English subtitles- part 1

Salalah day1 -    • UAE to salalah-most accessible places...  

The speediest way to travel to Salalah from Dubai by road is via Route 31. Get on the Dubai Al Ain Road Also, while the route may seem simple enough, we recommend relying on Google Maps to ensure you stay on track. Whether your ride is a four-wheeler or a regular Sedan, make sure that it’s well maintained. Repairs shops are a fair distance once you start your journey.
Oman visa Process:

You need to keep the following in mind:
The passports and UAE Resident Visas for you and your dependents, those must all have 6+ months of expiry time. This is a deal breaker for many families, so be sure to check it out first.
As the main applicant/sponsor/head of family you need to apply for your visa first (Visa Type: 29 A GCC Resident Visa) and then wait until your visa gets approved. Once approved, you can then apply for the rest of your direct family (Wife, Parents, Kids) who are residing with you in UAE and sponsored by you (Visa Type: 29 B GCC Resident Visa).
For your application you need the scanned files for the following:
Personal Photo (White background)
Passport Bio Page
Passport Visa Page
Emirates ID
For your dependents' applications you need the scanned files for the following:
Dependent's Personal Photo (White background)
Dependent's Passport Bio Page

Visa copy of Main Applicant (which you would've received by email upon approval of your visa)
Please note that the web site doesn't allows uploading attachments that are larger than 512 KB (0.5 MB) therefore its advised that before you start the visa application process, you collect all the above required files in a folder and reduce their size. I used Paint application on Windows 10, which has a quick resize option which also shows you the output file size. Once all files are converted to a smaller sized file, you should proceed with the visa application process. This is to avoid any potential session timeout (usually 20 minutes) that may occur on the ROP visa web site as otherwise, you would be resizing the images on run time.
If any information is missing from your application, the ROP staff will "return" your application for correction. It happened with me, as I forgot to attach my visa in the application for my kids. In this case, you would receive an email containing the reason for the return. Fix that issue and re-submit the application
