Ras Al Khaimah [UAE], October 7 (ANI/WAM): The RAK Transport Authority today launched the maiden land trip service connecting Ras Al Khaimah with Musandam, Sultanate of Oman. 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 service is also aligned with RAK Transport Authority’s 2023-2027 strategy, which aims to encourage public transportation and promote shared mobility as a sustainable, reliable, and safe transportation solution.”
