Magh Bihu Celebrations

A view of the participants at the Magh Bihu Celebrations held at Zabeel Park, Dubai on 20th January, 2006.

Going around the Emirates/Oman

Dear all,

My wife Monisha & I had a wonderful experience in the fjords of MUSANDAM in OMAN. The drive from Ras Al Khaimah border to KHASAB (OMAN) is very scenic and beautiful. You have barren rocky hills on your right and the calm and serene sea on your left for about 35 kms. The view is breath taking and enchanting.

I must thank our friend Gopi & Jayanti from Ajman for encouraging us to make this trip to see some lovely and playful dolphins.

In order to make your bookings for Musandam (Oman) please visit http://www.goldentulipkhasab.com/ or www.dolphintourism.net

You will need to drive to Ras Al Khaimah border (AL SHAMS). Please carry your passport & Take your own car (MULKIA) and pay AED 20 per person at RAK border to UAE Govt. (Please fill in the attached exit card form when you go to the border of UAE). At Oman border point (TIBAT) you will again need to fill in another form (this form I do not have a soft copy ) and pay AED 10 per person.

Once you have done this, you will drive 35 kms. To KHASAB, MUSANDAM where you can either take the DHOW CRUISE or MOUNTAIN DRIVE which is offered by
1. Golden Tulip Resort http://www.goldentulipkhasab.com/
Mr. Issa is the Manager of this resort. The telephone contact is: +968-26730777.
or
2. Khasab Hotel http://www.dolphintourism.net/. The Contact person here is Hari. Phone: +968-26730267

We went in a dhow cruise organised by Hari and it costed us AED 200/- per person for a full day cruise. The cruise helps you to absorb the water lapping by your side and the hills all around.

Let me know how you find your trip. Or if you have some more information which I have missed out, then please do share it with me.

Kind regards,
Pratik Das
