The next few days involved towing and froing between embassies in Muscat in a last ditch effort to try obtain a Saudi Visa, as well contact with the shipping agents to organise our Plan B option, which was a return ferry to Iran.
Full of hope, we headed early to the Saudi embassy for the appeal. However, our spirits were quickly dampened when the first Saudi official we met wouldn’t let us enter the building, never mind meet anyone else. The grumpy sod bluntly explained that unless we were Omani citizens, there was no way we were getting a Visa.
Over the next two days, in a last ditch effort, we managed to secure an amazing letter in both Arabic and English from the Irish Embassy in Riyadh, which kindly asked for support on behalf of the Irish Government in helping us pass through the country. However nothing materialized and realizing our attempts were futile, we now need to head back to Dubai with our tails between our legs in order to catch the next car ferry back to Iran.
