Mussandam, Oman | Dhow

Taken from the dhow yacht we that we boarded.  A smaller dhow is seen parked along the side of the hills.  A dhow is a traditional arab boat made of wooden materials.  Modern versions are made of  fiberglass and are equipped with navigational systems and an engine.  Note the watch tower at a farther distance on top of the hill.  This place is a perfect escape from the usual busy city life where one can relax on the yacht or go for snorkeling.
