Dubai/Sharjah – Day 3
Well… we woke up in a New Year, but still not in the best of moods from yesterday. We really didn’t know what to do with our day… We didn’t feel like returning to the same places just to see huge lines again, which we were definitely not willing to wait in. What to do,…

Dubai – Day 2
New Year’s Eve! We are a little bit excited. We are both big fans of fireworks, and we only expect the best from Dubai! Before we go out, let’s do a quick internet search for fireworks. Just a quick search, and it seems like there are fireworks all over the city from when the sun…

Dubai (United Arab Emirates) – Day 1
Well, the suspense is done, you obviously know that today is our last day in Oman and we are headed to the UAE! So now you know that this is the destination we had to pay twice for because of our cancelled flight out of Khasab, and also the destination that our flight attendant told…

Muscat – Day 5
So, in the end we decided not to fly out today. Give ourselves one day to just relax in Muscat before continuing on our way. After all of the go, no-go of Khasab we’ve earned that much, right? And we’re sure you won’t mind our decision either. What to do, what to do? We wanted…

Khasab – Day 5
So, is today the day we leave Khasab? Who knows, really. We have already talked to our hotel here and we can extend the stay if needed, and we don’t have anything booked in Muscat so that we don’t have to cancel and we haven’t rebooked our flight out of Oman either, just in case.…

Khasab – Day 4
Today is the day we leave Khasab. Nice and early! So we just take a quick look outside again, pack our bags, and go on our merry way. Hopefully everything is okay, because look at this water! Well, we get our airport shuttle from the hotel, and what we could see from our room looks…

Khasab – Day 3
Well… it’s our last full day in Khasab. We don’t have much idea of what to do today, so I guess we will go see what another “hike” is. When searching for hikes we see that there is a “Khasab City Walk” “hike”. It’s just a loop around the town. Might as well try it…

Khasab – Day 2
Well, after an evening of on and off rain, it seems like most of it dried up. So, might as well go out and enjoy! From the random hike we found yesterday, we tried to find others nearby. Success. We have one on the other side of the town that is also supposed to be…

Khasab (Oman) – Day 1
So, from our brief excursion yesterday we decided that one day would not be enough to explore this place. Luckily we were able to change our flight from tomorrow (25th of December) until the 27th of December for a small 30 dollar fee with Oman Air, and our flight out of Oman was able to…

Muscat – Day 4
Well… let’s hope that today we get to take off and actually get to Khasab. Since we were told that this happens often, and we’re not hopeful on actually leaving today… we’re going blind. We didn’t book a hotel or anything in Khasab, that way we don’t have to cancel again. We did check however,…
