Date Palms, Cliffs and Cool Waters

Date Palms, Cliffs and Coolwaters

Riding offroad on rocky terrain along the beautiful coastline to Sur taking in some of the most splendid views while the sun began its ascent. Relaxing under palm trees at Wadi Tiwi desiring sweet water. Meeting proud Arabs living in cliff homes that provide them shade, protection and coolness. Their hospitality unmatched and directly connected to the final Prophet, from whom they derive their identity. Our rest gave us respite thus we resumed our trek until we came to Ras Al-Hadd, a haven for endangered turtles and allowed ourselves to enjoy the fragrant breezes and coolness of the sea. Arriving at Wadi Bin Khalid we walked through date palms which brought a calmness to the body and soul. Eating the date fruit resuscitates life and provides one with enough energy to sustain themselves from the stifling sun that evaporates everything it shines on. Visiting Muhammad’s friends we partake in a delicious lunch, a hike into the date palms looking at the beautiful rough cliffs and feeling the brilliance of the cool waters. Wadi Bin Khalid has done us well and we head for the Wahiba Sands, an expanse desert that has a stillness that is absorbed in the soul. As the sun begins to set we leave Wahiba Sands and take to the road and it’s smooth sailing all the way home.
