Not just a desert

When talking about Arabic nations, people will automatically associates them with camels and deserts. There's actually more to it and i got to see this myself.

There's actually a lot of wadis there... wadi is like a ditch or channel or gully that remains dry except during rainy seasons. But it is not man made..because gully means a deep ditch cut by running water. Jangan ingat kat padang pasir tak dak rainy seasons naaa. Ada tapi jarang.. jarang... selama 5 tahun kami kat Oman tu boleh kira ja berapa kali hujan..ada yg hujan sikit2, ada masa hujan lebat sikit... ada jugak masa sampai banjir...Yang paling teruk masa Cyclone Gonu year 2007...But we were not there when Gonu striked... sebab balik msia cuti...Tapi stories we heard from our friends who were there masa tu memang teruk aaa... I think i have a video made by a friend of mr.hubby... nanti nk cari2 tgk.

While venturing around the land of Oman, we've come across several wadis.... yg gambar2nya telah  terdelete oleh someone. Tapi ada la satu tempat ni yg masih ada gambar... but this wadi looks more like a river.. seriously macam sungai kat Malaysia... It's in a place called Nakhal. Sesapa yg datang ke Oman, be it family or friends memang we'll definitely take them to this place.

this is our daughter... hehehe lama x tgk gambar dia masa kecik2. See the water, jernih gila.

with friends... anak2 kawan2 kami

at least the kids ada la jugak experience mandi sungai

Before mandi makan... lepas mandi pun makan lagi satu round. We usually bring pre prepared food..but on this occasion rasanya ada BBQ sikit kot. Orang2 kt sini friendly and very nice... kalau picnic2 mcm ni ada yg siap bagi food diorang lagi... diorang kan family besar, kalau outing2 mcm ni siap bwk periuk masak bebagai so food pun bnyak... Kami dah berapa kali dapat rasa picnic food diorang... cuma masa 1st time tak sangka la kan sebab kalau kt msia tak penah lagi pegi picnic org share food ngan kami so kami bawak sandwich2 and kudap2 jer... sekali org yg picnic kt sebelah bagi satay diorang (kat sana dipanggil mishkak.) huhu sedap tu satay diorang .... 

ni kat Nakhal jugak but on a different visit... tgk siap ada jeram tu...

ni pun still kat Nakhal tapi ni masa second visit kalau x salah... our daughter baru brapa bulan jer ni... Ini jalan nak ke wadi laa saja nak ambik gambar view tu.

Actually gambar2 tadi semua kt area bawah2... kalau kita venture atas lagi sebenarnya ada kolam besar di buat untuk takung air yg turun dari bukit... boleh mandi la jugak dlm kolam tu... Budak2 oman ni main terjun2 jer. We prefer to say kat bawah sebab slalu kat atas tu budak2 muda jer ramai....and slalu pack sangat. Kalau kt bawah tu at least bnyak sikit tempat boleh pilih nak duduk along the wadi.

Itu jer gambar yg ada... actually hard copy bnyak tapi camne nak upload...nak kena scan dulu... mana ada scanner... x pe lah... tgk jer la mana yg ada. ok.
