Fishmarket
Before breakfast one day we went to experience the fresh early morning catch being sold – Omani style – in the fish market.

Arabian Bakery
A friendly local couple led us down the small old winding lanes to find this little gem – steaming hot Omani bread!

Hitchhiking as a Family
As our Indian Visas are authorized we needed to get moving quicker than by bike to pick them up. So how do you get a lift in the middle of the desert as a family of 6 with 2 bikes, 2 trailers + about 15 pieces of luggage? Just get two pick ups …
… or even better a big truck!

Tabletop Mountains
A dramatic change of scenery as we leave the pointed mountain tops around Yanqul.
Someone has bulldozed the tops of the mountains – could it be something to do with the huge lumps of marble we keep seeing going by on the back of trucks? Or is it just nature’s way?

Mosque Visit
We were allowed to look inside this amazing mosque when we stopped to refill our water bottles.

Omani Hospitality
As we were looking for lunch we met Izmael who invited us to stay at his house and meet his family and friends. We felt very priviledged indeed to have had an insight into their lifestyle and traditions and enjoyed learning about their cultural beliefs and family life in an Arabian Islamic country.
