Hello.
I am currently in the city of Khasab in Oman.
This is the capital of the Musandam Peninsula.
So, Oman is an interesting country
because it's actually geographically
divided by the United Arab Emirates.
This city is most important
because of the amount of forts that they have and their history with forts.
So, we are going to take a little city tour to get to know it a little bit better.
To get the chance to go study.
And this is the Khasab Beach, artificial beach.
See the old fisherman houses.
-Yes. -Very good for...
-What is that? -Datil.
-Dates.
So, this date isn't quite ready yet.
But we can still eat it.
It's not as sweet.
After coming the British.
Before they used like the...
This is the winter house.
So, it's four feet up above the ground and then it's four feet below the ground.
We're gonna check out some rock paintings now
which are apparently over 3,000 years old.
So, the people used to live in caves here and they would draw on the walls.
And this side just collapsed,
and so there's a bunch of rocks just laying everywhere with the pictographs.
In the climbing up we can see more and more.
Yeah, up there, yeah.
-Wow, look at that. -Yeah.
This is called Madha.
Middle of Madha, half kilometer, Emirates again.
Wow.
We're now on a little speed boat
that's going to take us to meet up with our dhow cruise
so that we can check out the fjords here in the peninsula.
We just got to our dhow,
and people are already snorkeling here.
And we're gonna have some lunch
and then we're going to keep snorkeling and check out the other fjords.
We just got to our swimming spot. So, I'm gonna go jump in.
Some Arabian coffee.
And that is a wrap on that.
The water was so good.
And I'm now back at my hotel
and I am ready to go to sleep.
I am exhausted.
It's been a super long day.
But the water was so refreshing.
I don't know if it was because it was so hot,
but it just, it felt so, so, so, good.
Huge thanks to Khasab Travel And Tours
because they went above and beyond
to make this experience a really memorable one,
from the city tour, all the way to the snorkeling.
And the food that they gave us during lunch was so, so, so good.
Thank you to them for making all of this possible
and such a wonderful experience.
