Hi, Darwin!
Yes, I do remember you from asking about camping at the Bimmah Sinkhole ages ago. Did you end up camping there? If so, how was it? My wife just told me to let you know that she knows several people who camp in Quriyat and the Quriyat area quite regularly. It’s a fishing village, so the fishing must be pretty good there! I hope you have a safe and enjoyable holiday. Be safe! Cheers!
