My parents big day - a road trip to Musandam, Oman.

On Sunday (which was actually Easter) we took a drive to Musandam on Oman. This was my parents last big day here. Dani and Elle had to go to school the next day (Monday). Then they were set to leave on Monday evening around 10:30pm, but their flight was delayed until Tuesday.

Musandam is in the mountains. It is the top of the Arabian penisula. The mountains drop right off into the ocean. A road has been cut in the side of the mountain in order to access these areas. It is just beautiful!


Investigating an old restored fort. Oman is full of them. The UAE has very few as most have been torn down.








A picnic lunch. We were very glad that we brought lunch. There are very few places to eat along this drive and I think my parents had their fill of Arabic food by then anyway.







An acacia forrest at the end of the drive.
