Oman– United Arab Emirates are the relations between the United Arab Emirates and Oman. The U.A.E. has an embassy in Muscat while Oman maintains an embassy in Abu Dhabi and a consulate-general in Dubai. Both countries are part of the Middle East region and share close cultural ties. Oman and the U.A.E. also share very large borders with each other, including two exclaves of Oman accessible on land only through the U.A.E, and also border the Gulf of Oman. Both countries are members of the Arab League, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and the Gulf Cooperation Council.

In December 2010, Oman discovered a spy network operated by the United Arab Emirates which collected information on Oman's military and government. They were reportedly interested in who would replace Qaboos as his heir and about Oman's relations with Iran.[1][2] Kuwait mediated in the dispute.[3]

In 2018 there were regional tensions between the countries following Qaboos' banning of non-Omani citizens ownership of agricultural and real estate. The banning was following multiple purchases by Emirati citizens. The restrictions were centered in strategic areas of the UAE, including Dhofar and Musandam.[4] An alleged Emirati spying cell were sentenced to prison in 2019.[4] Since 2019, relations between the countries have warmed.[4]

In 2024, both countries signed agreements worth $35bn. The agreements were in different sectors, such as energy and transportation.[5]
