You will get military escorts either by military personell in your car or a military/police car following you.
Yes, you will have to pay for that...
It seems that we aren't allowed to drive our own vehicle in the Yemeni province Almahra. A local driver will guide us through the province next to Oman.

From Oman to Saudi-Arabia:

Entry :  Masyouna (Oman)
