Well, you'll be pleased some of the heat can be taken out of the criticism of the ferry company - it's finally able to take cars!! The ferry connection was a loopy idea, topped by the latest grand projet, a railway line between Oman and UAE.

I'd certainly ditch the Al Ain side trip: save it for if you ever have to get from AUH or DXB to the Sultanate. Really, Oman is a delightful place to visit and I think you might want to keep your 7 days firmly within its borders.
