Eid Al Adha trip to and through Oman








After several weeks planning our extra long weekend trip to Oman over the Eid Al Adha holiday our three vehicle convoy turned into a slightly more risky two vehicle convoy.  Our plan was to cross the 180 Kilometers of Wahiba desert North to South and more vehicles would make this a safer trip.  Although we were down one car we decided to stick to the schedule that was travelling to Wahiba and spending the first night in the desert near the entry point – we would reevaluate in the morning as to whether or not we travel through the desert or find a different route to our final destination, which was Masirah Island.  We met at a gas station at sunset, crossed the border and drove all day through some scenic small towns to reach Wahiba.  We let the air out of our tires and headed into Wahiba an hour before sunset.
