Muscat to Sur

A day in Sur
Started our day with visit to Ministry of Tourism – a very imposing grand building. We were ushered into a big office where we were treated like royalty.

Dad said when he went there were hundreds of people on the beach! So we were very lucky that it was just us. It was also amazing seeing them flapping their way back to the sea as the sun started to rise. Also just as we were about to go ...
