Graded roads cut across the mountains have now made it more accessible. The grandeur of Musandam can best be explored by sea. There are lotta Mountain Hairy Goat here thus it was necessary to fence up the plant. I even saw some goats climbing TREE!!!

Musandam
Musandam, separated from the rest of Oman by the United Arab Emirates, is the northernmost part of the Sultanate. Due to its geographical position and mountainous terrain it was isolated from the rest of Oman and the region developed at its own pace.
Tucked away into obscurity, overshadowed by the fantastic worldly splendours of Dubai, passed over by shipping routes, Musandam has always been a mystery. Perhaps this lack of knowledge, sprinkled with stories of fjords, mountains rising out of sea and the sultanate’s northernmost settlements has given rise to an almost mythical haze around the region. Not all of it is true.
Using 4 Wheel Drive vehicles on a panoramic journey into the barren interior; we drive the mountain in Musandam. This tour will give you an opportunity to enjoy the dramatic scenery of Musandam’s mountains, speckled with fossils dating back several million years.This is a calm and peaceful mountain where one can cherish the beauty of Musandam in the plateau.
A stunning view overlooking to Indian Ocean side, you will be surprised at the scenery here. Musandam, even up close, remains a bit of a mystery. What is certain is that it has potential, this nether region of forgotten rock rising out of sea. You must go there, even if it's just once, to experience it yourself and put to rest rumours and stories that only seem to come from others. The real story is yours, and Musandam is a blank canvas open to any way you might look at it.

When Fortune Smiles
This 2.7 liter 2TR-FE white Toyota Fortuner is consider as a mid-size sport utility vehicle instead of a 4x4. One of the best car I've driven so far, the only complain I had is that the aircon of this car isnt strong enough for this spacious vehicles. We rent this car at the rates of Dhs 1350 for 3days including Oman Insurances. It's fuel consumption for the whole trip is Dhs90 for 470km, quite moderate for a Giant!
I was entrusted to ride this gentle giant, what an honour! Hehehe, If I was to travel with my family I would be last to be given the oppurtunity to step on the paddle. My dad is vastly experience driver in all soil condition (except Desert), My bro is crazy about car & he is willing to drive none stop for 6-8hours (actually speeding) and the worst of all if I drive, my mum would scream like hysteria although I have experience driving almost all over the world & even left hand driving in Tupai. I guess my mum still consider me as the Baby boy... I never seems to be able to grow up in her mind.

At the mountain! Phewww, I reach the top at last. Quite a powerful car althought it's only 2.7cc compare to her big brother Land Cruiser 4.5cc. I would like to own one, 90k for a new model!.. really need to think twice!

Blue, Red or Green

- You choose the green pill, go straight into disaster.
- You choose the Red pill, you dunno what behold you there.
- You choose the Blue pill, I've been there before.
At last I choose the Blue Pill... at least save..

Mamak Dubai
One man's garbage is another man's treasure, see things from another perspective. This restaurant is patronize by mostly low class Indian & Pakistani Labours but it's the closest things you have for a mamak stall. Sometimes I really thrist of Teh Tarik, but right now I can only satisfy my urge with a makeshifted one..
They dont called it mamak here... simply known as Ravi's Restaurant. There are some similarities between msia & dubai are their teh tarik taste and all of the workers there are from Indian but not their others menu. Food sold in this restaurant is more tradisional indina while msia is mix with local culture even chinese... After all 40% of the population here is Indian... 4million of 10mil (only 2mil are emiraties). My mum sure dare not to eat nor drink here because she always said those Mamakies never wash their hand after pees...
