An Omani fisherman from Qantab graciously allowing a curious tourist to snap a photo!
One has to be very careful when collecting shells to make sure you are not stealing someone’s home!
The fishing village of Qantab is along the coast just outside Muscat between the Bustan Palace and the Shangri-La. Check out the general area here: http://wikimapia.org/#lat=23.5538378&lon=58.6302567&z=14&l=0&m=a&v=2
How do you spell beauty?! “C-H-E” 




If you look past my gorgeous wife, Che, (a hard thing to do, I know!
) you will notice some very interesting rock formations there! One kinda looked like a dragon’s head.
Qantab is a charming village indeed! Many people fail to visit it due to “more exciting locations” such as the Shangri-La or Bustan Palace just up the coast, but it is definitely worth taking a stroll off the beaten path!

Greeting Andy and Che. I was just wondering how long is the drive from Qurum to Qantab? There’s a beautiful villa for rent in Qantab and your informative blog just does a better job than a YouTube video.
Anon,
Depending on traffic, I guess about 20 to 40 minutes. Glad to know the blog was of help to you!
