So, unfortunately truck driver from previous spot was indeed driving to Dubai, but the politics of his company did allow only driver in the cabin while crossing, so he had to drop me off just before the border. And although crossing in feet is not allowed, I decided to walk all the way to the checkpoint, and I was lucky!I came through 3 police checkpoints, telling then my hitchhiking stories, because they were surprised I came with a huge backpack by feet. Just be funny and play it cool. These guys are bored at the border and were happy.
When I reach the border customer, they indeed told me I am not allowed to go, but unlike on Jordan - Saudi Arabia border, they didn't leave me with no help, and a nice border worker went asking bus drivers to get me through the border, and one of them agreed to take me all the way to Dubai and they put me there for free.
It was a pleasant border crossing experience with 0 problems

Lol, that was random.It's a crowded gas station somewhere there, the first truck driver from Syria I asked was going all the way to Dubai. Prepare for your ~10 hours drive. So lucky. But still, be careful about the heat
