mussandam. khasab and golden tulips

A windy flight today from MUSCAT TO Khasab, fantastic aerial view of the fjords, not green but vast layers of colored sand, tiny coastal villages that must only be accessible by sea.  Khasab is a very old village, quaint and lovely with goats wandering everywhere!  Stayiing in the Golden Tulip, had a wonderful buffet of Omani food, small local fresh fish and the most amazing taboulleh and hoummous!!! Tomorrow is our mountain trip and snorkelling - always on the go

We read today at the airport about the trouble in Bahrain and Yemen - however yesterday in Muscat, there was a very peaceful demonstration of support and admiration for the Sultan and the living conditions here - no worries - we are all very safe and sound.  JAneece is flying home through Aboudabi and we are through Cyprus - not Bahrain.

Short I know, but it is late and there is a lineup tp use the internet!

Love to all

  1. Musandam is a great weekend getaway from Dubai. The country is so different and it is only a short drive.
