Endure Whisper 09-03-08, 04:10 PM Thanks minerva :)
Well, here are two links. You'll get to see more than what I've mentioned and it'll help you know what others are also talking about when they mention their places of interest.

http://www.omantourism.gov.om
To be frank .. I've no plans to visit anywhere local. :)
I'm not that kind of guys who likes to explore new places.
It's like someone comes to me and says: 'lets go to ...' and I say: 'Ok'.
That's the case that might take me outta Muscat.
i honestly went every where ! wish to go 2 rimal wohaiba and salalah again :D

Yeaaaaah, Ras Al Hadd.. I forgot that!
it's Al Hoota Cave ladies.
well, we keep canceling the trip to that god damn cave for almost a year now, whenever we decide, something comes up..i'm starting to feel like maybe it's a sign we shouldn't go?
i'd love to travel everywhere i've never been to before in Oman, i love local trips. :love:

marianna 09-03-08, 09:34 PM There is this huge cave in Oman that was shown on National Geographic. Not sure of the name but a place I want to def. visit. :D

Dam3eti 09-03-08, 10:03 PM Salalah and wahaiba sands,
I've been to Alhoota cave, it's amazing.
Rossonero 09-03-08, 10:10 PM I guess they renamed it from Waheeba sands to Bdiyya sands? That's because Al-Waheeeba who the sands got named after were well known Desert Pirates.
Superfreak 09-03-08, 10:59 PM I don't have any place in particular i want to go to, but if someone asked me to go with them, i wouldn't mind tagging along.

I am sure it's Al Hoota Cave :)
UnKnown 10-03-08, 01:51 PM I guess they renamed it from Waheeba sands to Bdiyya sands? That's because Al-Waheeeba who the sands got named after were well known Desert Pirates.
Wahiba Sands is now referred to officially as "Sharqiya Sands". Several tribes inhabiting that area and it's surroundings have sent a request to the government to change the name since the Al Wahiba tribe is no longer demographically dominant.
