Dolphin watching in Musandam, Oman

A few months ago we went to Oman. Oman is a country next to the UAE. We went to a place called Musandam and stayed in a hotel called Khasab hotel.

Musandam is a place high into the mountains. After we had a rest we went on a boat ride on a dhow to see dolphins. It took a long time to see the dolphins but we did see them. The dophins jumped in and out of the water and they swam next to our boat! The dolphins were great.



When we got to Telegraph Island we got out our snorkling kits. When we got in the water it was warm and I lost a flipper. Later on someone got it, then me my big brother and my dad went swimming, but I used a body board. It was good fun.

Then the next day I went on a morning drive with my dad and brother at the bottom of the mountain. We saw lots of goats in a group. But some were alone. The morning drive was really good.


After we went driving up a mountain. There was no road onlya path. It was really rocky and we stopped in certain places to take photos. We could see a big view from the top. Some of the time we drove right at the edge. It was exellent.


On our way home we stopped at a beach to play. The beach was good and it had proper big waves.
Then we drove home to Dubai.
