discover the gulf

Part 2

25th Nov 2009 - the journey of capturing the sunset. It was a day before we head our way to UAE. At first I wanted to go on top of the roof of my house to capture some photograph of the sunset. From there you can see the sun set between two mountains but what is not great and really spoil the picture is there will be a big electric pole interframing in your piture. Then, by sudden came and idea why dont I go to the mountains to see it set. I told my parents and they brought me to a place called 'Balad seet'. Along driving up the mountains, you can just stop anywhere and you will get the perfect view in any angle. The journey up is really fantastic where you can off your aircond and enjoy the fresh air. After my photograph session we then head our way right to the top of the mountain but by then when we arrived it was already dark. So a little dissapointment I couldnt capture the view from up there. Now its really cold up there so a proper jacket is really needed. We had our Marghrib prayer there over looking the red ray of the sunset and it was really beautiful.

discovering the Gulf Countries

From vegetables to chocolate, from trees to sands and rocky mountains, from malaysia to Oman via Bahrain. Here is how i begin....

PART 1

18th november 2009

Around 1045 the plane took off and heading my way to Bahrain. It is the season of Hajj and of course the plane was crowded with jamaah who are heading their way to the holy land. Most of them were Indonesians who transited in KL and one of them sat next to me. He was an old guy and his first time to perform the Hajj(may Allah bless him with Haji Mabrur). We had a chat, luckily i was able to know a little bit of his language(ahh percuma ajja). This time i was a little bit dissapointed with the airline, the AC was not functioning, the food was not really nice and paling terok, there was no TV at all. Imagine sitting 7 hours in the plane just by plugging my Ipod, (ergghhh mau tak bernanah tlinge). Ouh yaa and the seat was totally bad, just like going onto an express bus. But alhamdulillah I didnt really felt all those as i had a nice chat with that pakcik and it was great that I was able to know more about Indonesia. After abt 7 hours of horse riding which definitely hurt my back, alhamdulillah we arrived in Bahrain. So I said good bye to that pakcik and may Allah bless him. But on the way out from the plane, another pakcik greeted me, also in the same group, he asked: "dari malizi ya?" I answerd; "ya" He asked again; "mau kemana?" I answerd; "mau pulang ke oman, orang tua saya di sana" Pakcik; "ouh, jadi kamu kuliahnya di Malizi? bagus skali Bahasa Malaysia kamu ya?" haha then I stood weird; "ape pakcik ni ingat aku arab?" then I answerd; "ouh yaaa bisa laa dikit2, blaja dari teman". So then I left the plane and headed my way into the transit area. I transited around one hour so most of my time walking around the airport (usha2 awek arab) then had my solat and the best part is that, now there is a machine where u can have a free internet excess.

1530 - its time for boarding. Destination - Muscat, Oman. The journey took around 1 hour and half and this time the plane was good. I really enjoyed my ride this time because the three seats next to me were empty so it was like a first class for me. Thank God! Then at 1745 I arrived and this time my parents were a little bit late. But no problem as I already felt like home ;) Then on that day itself we headed our way to one Malaysian house and had our dinner there. We then head straight home as the next morning we are off to Dubai.

2nd day - Dubai. Like usual our first destination, Dubai outlet Mall. This is where you can shop until you drop. After having our shopping session, we headed our way to Sharjah.

Sharjah - sure some of you never heard about this city and probably some have heard but never wondered how beautiful it is. Sharjah is a city just next to Dubai. The corniche located right in the city makes the city beautiful and the gardens are the best place to enjoy your peaceful time together with your family and friends. We stayed in a hotel really next to a beautiful beach where the water is totally crystal clear and the sand is purely white. But dont be surprised to find lots of Russians bathing in the sun on the beach. We stayed only for a night then we head our way into Dubai and again to Dubai Mall. Dubai Mall which they claimed to be the biggest in the world and there you can find the tallest building in the world that is the Burj Dubai.

Ouh before that, early that morning I forgotted that we actually went to the Atlantis. The lost city beneath the sea. Thats why me myself had lost my track. Atlantis is a Hotel and a water theme park located on its own island separated from the land. Its on the famous Palm tree of Dubai and to get there you'll expriencing driving under the sea. Once there, we went inside to see the spectacular aquarium where you can even find a shark whale. So thats it for journey on that day as the same day we head back to Oman.
