Musandam nieuw in Dubai cruise

Wat weet jij van Oman?
Met de Splendour of the Seas kun je deze winter Oman heel gemakkelijk en comfortabel verkennen. Tijdens de achtdaagse cruise vanuit Dubai maak je een stop in Khasab en verblijf je ook nog eens twee dagen in de hoofdstad Muscat. In deel één van mijn Midden-Oosten blog heb ik je meegenomen naar Dubai. In deel twee maak je kennis met het land van Sultan Qaboes bin Said Al Said. Pak je omslagdoek en kom mee!

Tijdens de acht daagse Dubai cruise van Royal Caribbean is Khasab de nieuwste bestemming. Op mijn Dubai-cruise heb ik Fujairah nog bezocht. Maar deze bestemming is nu vervangen door een bezoek aan de meest noordelijke provincie van Oman, Musandam, met de hoofdstad Khasab. Omdat ik hier zelf nog niet ben geweest, heb ik mijn vriendin Floortje Dessing om advies gevraagd. Voor haar reisprogramma was ze uitgebreid op bezoek in Khasab. Kijk hier voor enkele nuttige reistips die ze graag met je deelt.

Brandend zand
De Splendour of the Seas blijft twee dagen in Muscat, de hoofdstad van Oman. Dit lange verblijf biedt extra kansen voor leuke uitstapjes. Je kunt een keuze maken uit het ruime aanbod van de rederij, maar je kunt ook verschillende excursies zelf goed regelen. Het visum voor Oman, wordt aan boord voor je verzorgd, als je het schip verlaat, krijg je een pasje mee als bewijs. Op de kade staan mannen in traditionele witte dishdasha (jurken). Als je geen zin hebt in begeleiding, loop dan rustig door naar het begin van de haven. Als je de grote Moskee wilt zien, moet je dat in de ochtenduren doen want ’s middags is deze vaak gesloten. Onderhandel met de taxichauffeur over de prijs. Ook de markt (souk) is het leukst in de ochtenduren. Dan zijn de meeste stalletjes bezet en hebben de verkoopmannen nog zin in een praatje.

Wadi Bani Khaled is populair bij famiilies in Oman

Een dagje wadi
Voor de tweede dag hebben we ons toch laten verleiden om een georganiseerde excursie te maken. Wij gaan voor de woestijnverkenning met een bezoek aan een wadi (oase). Bedenk wel dat je tijdens zo’n excursie veel tijd in een bus zit. Maar als je nog nooit een oase hebt gezien, is Wadi Bani Khaled wel een aanrader. We ontmoeten hier een oosterse familie die hier graag in het weekend komt om te picknicken. Het eten wordt afgewisseld met een frisse duik in het heldere water.

Terwijl wij in de zon liggen, worden in de keuken de lekkerste gerechten gemaakt

Luie vrijdag op zee
Vrijdag is een ontspannen zeedag aan boord. Ons plekje voor vandaag … een comfortabele ligstoel bij het zwembad met factor 30 binnen handbereik. We nemen af en toe een duik in het water, lezen wat over Abu Dhabi, onze volgende stop, bestellen nog een drankje en zo komen we deze dag door.
Zaterdag is de dag van Abu Dhabi. Net als in Dubai staan ook hier rode dubbeldekkers op de kade. De Grote Moskee in Muscat heeft indruk op ons gemaakt, maar valt in het niet bij de Sheikh Zayed moskee van Abu Dhabi. Als je onder de poort doorloopt, ontvouwt zich een sprookjeswereld van bloemrijke mozaïeken die zijn weerga niet kent. Mannen en vrouwen worden even gescheiden en krijgen passende kleding voor het moskeebezoek. Mannen in het wit, vrouwen in het zwart. Op blote voeten stappen we verder over het koele marmer. In de moskee vult de ruimte vult zich met Ohs’ en Ahs en is het een geklik van camera’s.

Terug in Dubai
Als we op zondagochtend vanuit onze hut naar buiten kijken, zien we het vertrouwde beeld van Dubai. We herkennen de Burj Khalifa en het duurste hotel ter wereld de Burj Al Arab. We hebben nog lekker een dag de tijd vóór we weer naar huis vliegen. We verplaatsen ons snel en veilig met de super moderne metro door de stad en de buitenwijken.
Met een hoofd vol mooie herinneringen rijden we de volgende dag naar de luchthaven, ons oosterse avontuur zit er op.

Praktische tips voor Abu Dhabi

Als de je Sheikh Zayed moskee wilt zien, is het slim om dit als eerste stop van de hop-on-hop-off bus, in de ochtend te doen.
In verschillenden winkelcentra zijn cafés waar je een Wifi code krijgt als je een drankje bestelt.
Heerlijk geurende souvenirs zoals mirre en jasmijn, koop je het beste op de markt.
Last but not least: Korte broeken worden hier gezien als kinderkleding.

Handige reisgids voor Oman
In de handzame boekjes van de landenserie te Gast In, maak je kennis met de bewoners van het land. Zij geven je een persoonlijk inkijkje in hun leven. Leuk om te lezen tijdens de vliegreis, of in de ligstoel bij het zwembad aan boord. Je kunt Te Gast in Oman hier vanuit je eigen huiskamerstoel bestellen. Veel lees plezier!

Pas op voor overstekende mannen in witte jurken

Speciaal aanbod: 2e persoon gratis!

Bezoek de Dubai-cruise deze winter met Splendour of the Seas en profiteer van het aanbod dat de tweede persoon in de hut gratis mee vaart.
*Tweede persoon betaalt alleen havengelden, taxes en fooien.
Dit aanbod is op basis van cruise only. Meer weten? Lees hier verder!
