This weekend we've found a nice little beach inside Muscat itself, in the "Qurm" district. This beach is very interesting because as you can see on the picture there are some seaweeds, and thus there are a lot of tropical fishes ! This gives a very good spot for snorkeling...
Actually, There are also some turtles swimming in the water, and I've been even able to touch one swimming next to me ! The possibility of swimming with turtles on the weekends is definitely one of good aspect to be living in Oman :)

ReplyDeleteTurtles there?! Hmm...
ReplyDeleteI was also suprised to find myself face to face with a turtle, but that's the true !
ReplyDeleteu took this pic from the crowne plaza rite?
ReplyDeleteno, this is not the same beach than the one of the Crowne plaza.
ReplyDeleteThis beach is located next to PDO
Ah it's the beach in the PDO residential area ?
ReplyDeleteTried to find this beach on Google Earth....it looks like it might be the one next to the public beach with shades and playground - how do you get to it ? Did you have to swim around the rocks to get to it ?
ReplyDeleteit is not in the PDO private area. It is indeed next to another public beach, to access it you have to climb up the rocks on the right side of the public beach (it is not difficult, there are kind of stairs)
