Spring Break in Oman Part 2

We also decided to do a snorkeling/dolphin cruise.  We saw quite a few dolphins but the snorkeling wasn't great.  The sea was very cloudy and when you focused your eyes you realized it was baby jellyfish!  We are also really spoiled from snorkeling in the Red Sea.  I am not sure if we can ever beat the snorkeling we get here. 

Hard to photograph!

Can you see the lion head?  The geology here is amazing!

Since Carter's learning to sail experience he has decided that he doesn't like boats.  Silly kid!

 

When visiting Europe we spend time looking at churches and when you explore the Middle East one spends time looking at Mosques.  The Mosque in Muscat was amazing!  The Sultan had it built as a gift to the Omani people.  When visiting a Mosque men should wear pants and women should cover their heads, arms, and legs.  We had a great time on this adventure.

 

 

This is the largest single piece of carpet in the world.  It took 600 people and 4 years to make it by hand.  It came from Iran.

 

So, our adventure was successful!  We would like to go back to Oman for some camping, cliff jumping, and turtle watching.  Here are some random photos to end our wonderful vacation.  Thank you Grandma Johnson for building memories with us!
