Long Weekend


Yesterday it was announced that in honor of UAE National Day there would be a four day weekend. As I mentioned in an earlier post, we never quite know when holidays will be. Two days notice is pretty common. Luckily this holiday goes by the regular calendar and we don't have to have a Saudi Arabian moon sighting or anything to know when it is. We had an idea that it might be a long weekend, so we planned a trip to Oman. We leave today for a 5 hour + 1 border crossing drive to Muscat and will be back on Sunday. I hope to have some blog-worthy experiences whilst there and will share them with you next week. The map is for you Dad!

Thanks for the map. Looks like there may be some interesting surface features in Oman, Wahibi Sands, salt flats and more sand! Can't wait to hear of your travels to and from. Would the trip make an interesting cycle trip?
