2005 » United Arab Emirates and Oman - February 18th 2005. » Trip to Oman - Sunday
Sunday up and out on a coach to drive to the Oman. The driver was Mohammed, and the guide was another Mohammed. Rosemary commented on the lovely roundabouts planted out with marigolds.
On the way stopped off at a modern soukh and town centre of SharJah. Here there was an 18th century fort, recently renovated.
Later stopped at an off-license to load up with wine and beers, before crossing into Oman. Entry into Oman was slow, visas are available at the border. The scenery was now mountainous, and the road took a course along the side of the sea.
We arrived at Khasab, and met our boat. We soon were loaded and away on our trip.
As we set off we had lunch, chicken curry, rice, salad, hommous and fresh fruit, cold drinks and coffee with optional evaporated milk.
