Road Trip Around Oman by Tarun
Our road trip began on 19.3.2021. It was a 7 day drive around Oman covering the districts of Muscat, Dhofar, Al Wusta, Ad Dhakiliya, and Ash Sharqiya. We were to drive to Salalah on the 1st day and while returning along the coastal road, making stops at Duqm and Masirah Island. Day 1 Our journey began at 7 am from Muscat. After stopping at Adam for breakfast, we continued our journey towards Haima. The road was barren and the trucks were our only companions. Once we reached Haima, we refueled our car and ate some ice cream! We reached Thumrait (a town close to Salalah) at around dusk. On reaching Salalah we checked into the Crowne Plaza Resort. Spending my entire day in the car had made me quite restless, and I hit the pool without any further adieu. We had dinner at the Ocean Blue restaurant on the hotel premises. Salalah is famous for its coconuts. A large number of coconut stalls can be found where fresh bananas and oranges are also sold! Day 2 - West Salalah Today...
