Our breakfast
After breakfast we went to explore KhasabKhasab Old Souk & New Souk area
Khasab Mosque under renovation
Road to Khawr A'Najd
(the only one of Musandam’s fjords that is accessible by road.
A steep track leads to the brow of a hill,
twisting and turning as it goes eventually arriving
at the top for a panoramic view over the fjord)
Acacia trees along the track lead to the mountain
Some part of the track flooded due tothe heavy rain for the last few days
We decide that we will be better off
going back the way we came
from rather than to keep going
Stopped at Wadi Mawa village for photo shooting
Stone house blend into the cliffs
Next...Khasab Fort
