Overnight accommodation in Muscat.

We crossed the border from the UAE to Oman without any incident and made our way to Muscat, the capital of Oman. The roads were great and the weather perfect for bike riding. On arriving in Muscat we found the city to have similar traffic problems to Dubai and beeing on motorcycles had its advantages. We found a place to have supper and met some wonderful people and were offered free accommodation for the evening in a dress shop which we gratefully accepted.

Not too late to turn back.

The ride from Muscat to Salalah was through typical desert terrain with the roads in reasonable shape. Not much traffic and again great desert scenery. Salalah is known as the holiday capital of Oman and we would have liked to have stayed longer but we still have many miles to travel.

Camel watching

We encountered many camels wandering the desert and the camel warning signs need to be taken seriously as they have a tendency to wander along the roads and are in no hurry to get out of the way.
