Al Mughsayl Blowholes!!! Salalah, Oman

These blow holes have formed naturally in the limestone rocks where plumes of water can reach a height of 30 metres or more! Impressive!  Yet another great reason to visit Salalah!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6xDvM4QEhs  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8si3qZrHQ0

Monsoon Covered Mughsayl Coast

Al Mughsayl Bay Beach, Salalah, Oman

  The drive to Mughsayl from Salalah is 45 kms.  Driving around the Salalah area is a very pleasurable experience as the views are all so impressive!  A friendly Omani man I met while visiting Mughsay Bay Beach, Suliman, and his daughter.  No, that’s not their camel and they were just as interested in taking pics with it as I was!  🙂  Don’t you just love camels!?  Salalah lobster anyone?!  Mughsayl has more than 4 kms of beach.  Some stretches are said to be some of the most magnificent sandy beaches of Oman.  I love this pic with a misty, mysterious Omani figure in the background.  Omani ladies enjoying Mughsayl Beach in their black-cloth dresses known as “abayas”. (Did you know that the plural of “abaya” in Arabic is actually “abayat”?  عبايات)  Sometimes pics don’t capture the true beauty of a place.  That’s why we have videos, right?!  🙂  Check out what Mughsayl Bay Beach is like during the wet “Khareef” season  (from the warm comfort of your home!).  The waves do a sneak attack on me and soak me at 2:58 into the video.  There are a dozen or so houses directly across the street from Mughsayl Bay Beach.  They all look exactly the same.  This is the kind of Oman I’ve been longing to see!  Everywhere I look-BEAUTY!  This is the far end of Mughsay Bay Beach.  At the other end, 4 kms to the right, are the impressive natural blowholes near Al Marnif cave!
