well actually not quite. north of the UAE is an enclave that belongs to Oman so that the northern most tip of the peninsula (the strait of Hormuz, you may remember it was in the news recntly because of an incident between the american and iranian navy) is actually in Oman. the famous mountain range in the area (mussandam) was to be the destination but after a blowout due to offroading and a 1 hour tyre change (it was midday, very hot and the whole town had shut down) i had to make the best of it and enjoy the local scenary.
on the road to khasab
one of many empty and stunning beaches
riding along the clifftops!
this is a really interesting pic. you cant tell but the edge of the cliff is just at the bottom of the picture then its a one hundred metre sheer drop. there is no way down to the little house and mosque from the clifftop and no road down there either. the only way to get there is by boat.
this place is called khor najd (i think). it is an inlet along the straits of hormuz. it was quite a scary drive along the switch backs down the side of the nountain to get there but very picturesque i am sure you will all agree!
who's that good lookin fella?!
