AccessAccess to outdoor walls is an issue across much of the world. There aren't any organizations in the UAE dedicated to access; it is mostly done on an ad-hoc basis. Rules change all the time here. As of early 2013, the most tricky areas to access are in the Dibba area. Ask around for the current situation. Wonderwall: Access through the Hili border post. Free for people with residence visas (don't get a stamp going out or coming in). Persons holding tourist visas will need to get stamped out and going in. Crags missing from the map:
