last weekend, we took a drive...a very very long drive. our good friend Ayie and his family invited us to a weekend trip. The ultimate destination was Nizwa...about 150kms away from Muscat. However, we passed by a couple of other destinations before getting to the Nizwa souq (which means a group of shops with varied wares).
Al-Akdhar : We took our 4WDs up a very very steep mountain, great thing was that the roads were all paved and concrete. for about 30 minutes, we kept our gears low and our 4WDs engaged. at the top of the final rise, we stopped for about half an hour and just took in the nice cool breeze (it was about 11am that time) and the grand mountain views. for the downward trip...I went manual and it was such a luxury to have that feature.
we got down and went straight to Ruwi. after a not so quick lunch, we took some time going around the Ruwi area - going inside an abandoned military fort which was quite cool - and visited one of the local parks with several playgrounds which Vivian (and mom) enjoyed much.
