The taxi driver was waiting for us thankfully, even though we ended up being an hour late! It was a very ...

... being sold
By three pm the place was packed with families, lots of children. Seemed everyone in Aasala and areas around where here for the market.
Water and Beach in front of Sheikh Salem
The water is pristine and clear with good snorkeling, shallow enough for swimming for those who can't with pockets for those who can. We saw stone fish and lots of species around. When the water is calm is it magical . When the water is rough ...
