Mountainous Musandam

We enjoyed a great long week end in Musandam, the norther most tip of Oman. Its a 3 hr drive from Dubai with stunning scenery - huge mountains and a beautiful coast line. The highlight of the trip was the half day dhow trip with sightings of dolphins and snorkelling amogst the arabian coral. Here are some snaps.
The hotel we stayed at near Khasab.
Somewhere en route, looking for "the mermaid". I think Danny might be on to something...?

On the beach along the way, somewhere...

Leaving Khasab port on our own Dhow - Josh finding his sea legs.
Sleepy sailor/s.
Awesome scenery - another crew amongst the famous fjords - dolphins cruised next to our dhow!
Another tough day in the office for our captain - Fharaz.

Snorkelling out to Telegraph Island.
STOP!! BRAAI WOOD!!! Its not as easy to come by in these parts as driving to your nearby BP garage. We bought a "few" bundles from this general dealer near Ras Al Kaimah and braaied that night... Business has never been that good for the local punter!

As a wise man once said, "If you can eat it, you can braai it!"

Looks like you guys are having a blast...

Dibba tour is very enjoyable because there is a vast range of things to enjoy. The natural sceneries of Musandam Dibba are very beautiful and have no match in the whole world.
