India-Myanmar-Thailand

The India-Myanmar-Thailand (IMT) Treaty is on the verge of being signed - that is expected to create a free zone, whereby carnets and escort may not be required. So await further developments - they will not only ease procedures, but also reduce costs

Thats some helpful information Hafeez. I have access to a BMW X5 35i in Dubai which I wanted to drive to Oman. Unfortunately, I did not have a UAE driving license and was driving a KIA Sportage on my International Driving license there. Would you know of the laws around driving a private car in Dubai for a non GCC resident?

In UAE you can drive on international driving licence as long as you are on visit visa and not a resident visa

Hafeez, does that inlcude privately owned vehicles or does it have to be a rental? Ill probably be travelling there again in August.

More costly than air fare

Yes, road trips are usually more expensive than air travel, but then the fun and adventure you have on a road trip is far greater than a point to point holiday by air. If I have the time, I prefer a road trip holiday to an air travel one any day.
