Summer here has just ended and the temperatures have become more camping suitable along the coast.
This trip was to somewhere new to us recommended by friends as child safe as the coast line of Oman is usually steep sandy beaches and large waves.
Barr al Hikman is a flat peninsular made up of rock reef's and salt flats as far as the eye can see.
There is no road- GPS co-ordinates swapped in a bar and fellow travelers tire marks..
Only issue is not all the tracks lead the way you thought they do.......as most are left by the bedu trying to find their camels and meeting fishing boats on remote sheltered points
leading to some offpiste tracks of your own.
The area is littered with deep car swallowing soft areas and tyre shredding rock reefs exposed by the shifting winds.
The off road section is about 60KM and in total a 450km trip from Muscat
here's some shots !
