Qada Tourist Hotel Khasab

Today I got up at 9. Today I was very fresh that's why I chosen to visit Burj Khalifa and Shaikh Zayed road.
I took taxi to Shaikh Zayed road, It was an unbelievable experience that i had. It was World's dream place and Dubai is definitely World's dream city. It is possibly World's best road on my views.Fantastic, I looked Burj Khalifa, Bigge...

After looking at all the rock drawings we could find, we headed back out of the wadi, and along the coast road to Khasab. We passed the swanky-looking Golden Tulip resort, which has a series of small chalets for rent in the area of UAE 1,000 dirhams per night. One of our party was not partial to boat rides, so she elected to stay at the resort a...

Got up and ate my usual granola bar for breakfast, checked out of the hotel, then headed down to the harbor to find my boat for the dhow cruise. I checked to see if the moneychanger was open and it wasn't I drove to what I thought was the harbor, but it wasn’t exactly right (the harbor wasn’t really that big). I thought it might be n...

The drive along the Musandam coast to Khasab was gorgeous! It was amazingly beautiful---the highway hugged the coast between the mountain cliffs and the sea, and every once in a while there would be a small village or a seaside beach (public). This had me stopping ever five minutes to take all the pictures I could get. I also stopped at the fort...

6.00am saw us standing on the corner outside our apartment building waiting for our booked day tour to the Musandam Peninsula in the country of Oman. Another country, another stamp in the passport..... easily done from Dubai as distances are not great and cars travel at amazing speeds down sleek highways. Our driver's name was......yes, you gues...

It was an early start as our convoy of 25 people and 7 4WD's headed north towards Oman. Our destination was Khasab Harbour in the Musamdan Peninsula (Oman) for a day of dhow cruising around the Khors (Islands). We were to be there for a 9.30 departure....little did we know that it would take us 6 hours to arrive (usually only 2 and a bit!). When...

After the boat trip many people were going back to Dubai, but I had planned to stay with Canadian Graham, Polish Jan, and Aussie Ella. We had Graham's jeep to go around, and more importantly Graham himself, who had already been exploing a fair bit of the area. In the evening we looked for the souk, but eventually settled at a restaurant and had ...

Whle I was trying to organize a trip to the Musandam peninsula, book a boat, possibly dive, etc..., Graham told me about a french guy who was already organizing something. In fact, he had arranged directly with a boat owner to leave later in the day, and to install a "sound system" on the boat. After a bit of organisation, there were 30+ people ...

This was our third trip to the Mussandam since moving to Dubai. A very civilised start to the weekend was the initial meeting spot of Starbucks at Uptown Mirdif. The 12 intrepid campers arrived in their various 4WD vehicles ready for a ruggid weekend's camping.........after a grande latte and blueberry muffin that is.... We hit the road at 9am ...
