Dear all,
I and my friend whos living in the Jebel Akhdar the BBQ and walking around visit old building, Wadi ,..Etc. I think its the best idea (what about all)

*Please let me know any new ideas

As you know dears we have police inspection point before you drive on the mountain and they allows only for 6 persons including driver inside one car, so I arranged two 4WD, one 4WD will be in Rusayl roundabout at 7am and the other one in the police inspection point under the mountain. No problem for how many people will come I can arrange more cars just add your name here, I will be the first one:
-    Ammar
-    Bader Al Busaidi ( welcome )
-
-
-
The things available there:
-    Ice cubes
-    Wood or coal
-    Place for BBQ
-    Soft drinks

@HEX some snacks maybe  :D

Ammar

amoor

Heyfarooq....as per our last meeting it is on 5th September and no one objected on that until this moment so date remains the same.

I will coordinate with Piya and Lau on the snacks. Now what about the meat to grill? So you believe the "one shawarma" huh? :D

Hi Jaseer, thanks for your interest to join the community....kindly coordinate with amoor or heyfarq, you can pm them. Alternatively, go to FB "Living in Oman" group, PM your number to Rahul so he can include you in "Living in Oman Watsapp group" easier to communicate.
Meeting place is in big roundabout going to rusayl at 7am. We will leave the cars there and move to 4wd from amoor. If you are coming between al khuwair and airport along sultan qaboos highway I can pick you up along the way but be on time as no waiting for late comers.

To make it easier for you I forwarded your number to Rahul so he can add to the group but it didn't work....can you please double check the number there might be some typo error.  Thanks

So can we just outline what we plan to do there. Without anything specific it will become a random trip and may not turn out interesting . So let's chalk out some plan.  I am not saying a hour to hours plan. But you know some highlights.

hexebella

One of the highlights to visit is the wadi bani habib especially for the first timers....an hour will be enough for that going and coming back including the picture taking on site and along the way.....there are also villages that we could visit.

Amoor maybe we can do a side trip to birkat al maws?

BTW what about the lunch?

hexebella

One suggestion for lunch is at Alila Hotel....still checking how much the buffet lunch would cost. If you have anything in mind please post
