Let's cut the long story short...105km from Tupai to Border- 1hour
360km from border to Muscat - 4hours
Reach Muscat about 1pm,
Extremely nice road and we met one nice Omani just after the border and he shown me the way to muscat (No Left, No Right... Go go Go) and invited us to visit his house but due to time constrain and the knowledge that there would be nothing to eat nor drink in his house during Ramadan so I decided to ciao.
Situated on a cove surrounded by volcanic mountains, the town is connected by silk smooth road. 16th-century Portuguese forts overlook the town and those old wall, as well as some of its gates, still stand. The town's unusual architecture shows Arab, Portuguese, Persian, Indian, African, and modern Western influences. Every building is backed by the mountain and that's Good Fung Sui! Nice Road and nice landscape.
Visit Malaysia Year 2007... Show that our Government is doing something. Not of them are slackers. If not visiting, at least those Omani know the name MALAYSIA. bravo... bravoo..
View from our hotel room. HOtel Marina... nothing to show cause it a budget hotel. As we unload our stuff from the car, a young Omani boy cycle pass us and greed us with "Hi how are you fine thank you". And that continous phrase printed on my memory forever. Why? Because it seems like he memorized the whole phrase without understanding a words.

Oman is all about Rocky mountain, I felt so at ease because I am a mountain Goat.
Even the roads in the mountainous are super super smoothies.. love it! Like Inital D! There more than 5 "continous Fak Kap Wan here"… I am sure Tok Hoi would plum into the valley if he drive till his car "ting… ting… ting…". First of all to make the car Ting Ting Ting… you need to exceed 120km/h.
Initial A: Tok Choi and "Hir" 86 stopped at the seaside after battling through those killer curve… Tok Choi definitely like curvy things :p
After dinner of Seafood.... we have a tour in their small souk... No such things as the biggest nor grandest here in Muscat but it's give you more sense of belonging and calm. Relaxing!

Relaxing!Beautiful Man-made water features at the corniche... Muttrah corniche with its crystal clear water... the corniche line which is being made into such a magnificient landscape.
After...Cyclone Gonu heat Muscat, lot of beautification and renovation works is being down and upgraded. Muttruh cornice is the real sight and it’s worth the trip alone, especially at night with the lights reflecting off the water.
Evil7 & me taking Omani Coffee on the roof top of my hotel... Under the full moon and ocean wind, super super romantic. You are suppose to put the dates inside your mouth before drinking the coffee for there are no sweetener inside the coffee.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t enjoy the magnificent Muscat night because I got tired of all the driving all day long but I still manage to get a nice view from roof top of our hotel. Tough day fixed me to the bed and next day I gonna drive back Tupai again.
our morning start rather early as there are wake up call from the nearby mosque! First things in my mind is the car because i dont feel easy having a tupai plated car in the middle of Oman overnight without guard.

A visit to the Fish souk in the morning is a just amazing experience. Fresh dates.... and those ah pek lelong in the middle of the market.
Fishermen's families waiting for their love one to return from sea. Unlike Tupai, Oman arabs works as taxi drivers, fisherman and even labour. They are quite friendly and helpful... really feel appreciated as a tourist in this area. 
Big Fish... but dunno what fish... King Fish? Salmom? Open on all sides -one side to the water - so that all possible breeze is caught, the main fish hall is full of fish traders selling their catch, ranging from fish, squid and crabs

Located roughly 30 km south of Muscat, The cheapest room would cost you Omani Riyal 14 = Dhs 1400 = Rm1400! The design give you a super relaxing feelings but the cost makes you wanna reap all those pillow, TV, carpet & even toothpaste from the hotel room
The only restaurant that serve food and drinks during fasting period is in Hotelsss and well did they serves; Arabic, Mediterranean, Asian & Indian cuisine. And we pay 13Omani Riyals per head for the most expensive breakfast in my life. I wouldn’t say the food is good but that’s the only things available during the RAMADAN month… Take it or leave with an empty stomach.
I am sure we miss a lot of activities, places and events in Muscat due to Ramadan Month and our short visit. But this is just the Beginning…
I'll be BACK!
