Khasab

When the road was built along the coast to replace the steep and windy one over the mountains somebody decided that it would be nice to make a new beach. So they made this one which has become so popular that on fridays you need to grab your spot early or miss out.


Dhows like these are now made from fibreglass.




This marina was reclaimed from the bay when the new wharf was being constructed. In the background is Khasab castle.



Ali now has a dhow which is used to take scuba diving parties to remote bays in the Musandam area for camping and diving weekends. While it is basic it is spacious and carries quite a lot of divers. A carpet and cushions are laid out on the deck in the traditional Omani fashion.
