Sifat Ash Sheik, Oman

Date: 29.Jan.21

This week, we visited a place which is famous for snorkeling and fish catching. Enjoyed boat ride with friends and explored few islands far from the shore where people do full day camping to spend time with family. Locals, expats and tourists go by boat in the morning around 8 AM , fixing camping tent ,carrying food , short hike on the mountain and a beach in front for swimming, snorkeling , catching fish , having fun and return by 4 PM to the shores.


Seeing these isolated islands far from each other reminds me of my favorite actor Tom Hanks movie 'Cast away'! Of course no one wants to go through that plight which his character had gone through in the movie yet I must say its a Hall of Fame movie.

One can enjoy the weekend either in isolation having 'ME' Time or spending  time with family both  gives immense peacefulness in these islands.


When it was dusk, we lit a small camp fire at the shores with the straw and wood  collected by our little climbers Akshaj and Arohi with their tiny hands and a big trunk by our friend.





An impromptu view of moon rise and its glittering light on the sea waters came as a bonus to our weekend trip and made our day awesome!
