Dubai: Escape to Musandam

We started off to Musandam only because we had nothing else to do on a Friday..!!

Well.. Musandam  is a peninsula of Oman, alienated from rest of the country by its neighbor - The United Arab Emirates. Connectivity has been a problem for the local people here because geographical characteristics of the place add hindrance to their mobility. Hence it is a sparsely populated region. However indubitably, it is a stunning, breath taking spot!!!!  

Once we cross Dubai-Oman border, it is such an enchanting and beautiful drive. The road winds right at the coast offering spectacular views and amazingly at every turn, the panorama keeps changing!

We sailed for close to four hours in a dhow, exploring the sea and the rocky mountains.  I call it “An experience”!!!! 

 

..waiting for another nothing-to-do weekend so that I can escape to another fabulous neighborhood.
