Dhow boat cruise |
With this weekend being a longer weekend (3 days) due to Islamic New Year, a few of us decided to go to Oman for a little day trip. Musandam is a Sultanate of Oman known for its amazing mountainous coastlines and fjords.

We got going early Thursday morning and had about a 3 hour drive to get to the place where we were meeting the Dhow boat. The Dhow was a big boat with a second level sun deck, and lots of cushions to relax on. We went into the most famous fjord and saw just beautiful scenery.

We got to stop a few times and jump off and snorkel. The water was super salty (not as much as the Dead Sea) so swimming and floating were very effortless. We also saw a bunch of dolphins going along side the boat. It was so fun to see them in their habitat.
