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,…

Muscat – Day 3
Today is the day we’ve really been waiting for, post-World Cup of course. Time to go to Khasab! Now you may not have heard of Khasab before, but now you’ll be able to tell everyone that you know this random Omani fact. Oman is not a contiguous country, it has exclaves that are surrounded by…

Muscat – Day 2
Well, after seeing the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque last night, we knew we had to go today. So, with that in mind we headed off. The mosque is only open to non-Muslims from 8 to 11 am and you must dress conservatively. Walking around the mosque yesterday we saw that renting clothing in the vicinity…

Muscat (Oman) – Day 1
Well… we will call today “Day 1” because last night we landed so late and didn’t do anything but go to the hotel, but we will tell you about it anyway. Landing in Oman was easy. Pretty dark out, that’s for sure. The terminal had a few welcome things to greet us and then it…
