The excursion was very nice, we saw a lot and was very interesting. Unfortunately our guide spoke almost no English and so we had relatively little information about what we saw. We were also 4 people and our guide only came with a small middle class car. This was absolutely too small to be squeezed in the heat by three in the back of the car. Fortunately, all four of us are not fat, otherwise we would have had to cancel the trip. A pity!!!

Unfortunately Khasab doesn't have as many cultural highlights as other cities, so our guide Sam didn't have too many opportunities to bring us closer to his home. He was very nice. We looked at Khasab old and new. Stayed in an old Bedouin house and at an oasis that is currently dry.
