Al-Wajajah (الوجاجة in Arabic) or just Wajajah is the busiest of the four ports of the Sultanate of Oman bordering the United Arab Emirates (Wadi Al-Jenzi, Buraimi, and Teibat being the other three). Al-Wajajah is located in the Al-Batinah administrative division of Oman. The town is 90 minutes by road from the city of Dubai, one hour from the Omani town of Sohar and three hours from Muscat, the capital of Oman.

A tourist visa to visit Oman can be obtained at the Wajajah check-post for residents of the United Arab Emirates travelling by road. Tourists of nationalities qualifying for visa on arrival in Dubai can also use their Dubai visa to enter Oman by road, as a tourist, for a maximum period of 3 weeks.

Regularly scheduled buses operated by the Oman National Transport Co. provide service to passengers from Deira in Dubai to Muscat, through Al Wajajah and the town of Sohar.
