12 people, 4 adults, 8 children, 2 cars, 8 days, 2 countries, 6 hotels, thousands and thousands of miles and 1800+ pictures, most of which did not make the cut.
Lots and lots of driving. We had a long distance drive almost every other day. We drove through rocky deserts, mountains, sand dunes, on small roads, three lane highways, roads that look over cliffs falling into the sea, pass bedouin tents and small villages, towns, cities and skyscrapers. At one point we even drove underwater!
As usual, I wish that we had more time. We had to just skim thorugh some places. We had to scrap visiting Sur so that we could have time to visit Nizwa. We extended our stay in Dubai for 3/4 of a day and then drove down to Abu Dhabi to spend a night there, so that our drive home would not be too long.
If I had a chance for a do-over, I’d probably just spent the whole 8 days in Oman and save Dubai for another trip.
But then in Dubai I met a lot of friends (old, and new, and one that felt like an old friend even though it was the first time we got to meet face to face *grin*), so I can’t say I did not enjoy my time in Dubai.

To come: more detailed stories on each of the places we visited!

If you dont see it in the pictures, then it’s only because I watched enough America’s Next Top model to know how to hide it.. *mwahahaha*
