HI
I did the trip in 1996. I went to Djibouti and found a dhow that was transporting beans to Al Mokha in Yemen. Upon arrival in Yemen I thought that I could just follow the coast of Yemen to Oman just like my michelin map. No way couldn't be done, no border there. I went inland on a goat trail and got lost (for 2 days) running out of fuel and water in the desert! I was found by nomads who helped me out. There is a road, that I think the Forwoods did on a Harley Davidson between the two countries. This would be a better option. Trust me. There is deep sand and some difficult stretches but it is doable.
