After the 'Kodak' moment,
we slowly drive on the zigzag pass that
will finally levels off on the summit ,
950m above sea level
Small settlements at the summit
Baby goat
Some green at the summit
After another 3km drive, we reach at the highest point.
We stop for 'Kodak' moment again
The road to the highest point
from where I am taking this photo
Breathtaking view of at over 1000m above sea level
"Majestic but forbidding Shihuh Mountains" with the
terrace villages and farmlands dotted on the mountainsides
Back to the road and crossed the highest points
of the route, the track starts a downhill descent
in a steep and windy section to Wadi Bih
View of Wadi Bih from far
Mountain wall
Old stone houses

Finally we reached Oman checkpoint, there is a barrier
across the road, J told the guard that we are going to
Ras Al Khaimah and the barrier lifted so that we could
turn left onto the road to RAK
At Wadi Bih

Scenic impression 2
The road to RAK from Wadi Bih has been closed
to everyone other than UAE & Oman nationals.
So we retraced our steps back to Dibbah
and from there we drove back home.

We started our journey about 9 in the morning
and returned about 8 in the evening, so we were quite
tired and the next day I felt my muscles...... haha
