Snoopy Island

This weekend we were back at our favorite beach in the U.A.E. and our favorite snorkeling spot, Snoopy Island. The small rock island sits right off the beach from the Sandy Beach Resort and its just teaming with wildlife. The snorkeling is some of the best that I've experienced, so there's no real advantage to go diving, but with the dive shop right at the edge of the water, we said why not!

Oman

One of the great things about living in Al Ain is that it's pretty close to everything. Dubai and Abu Dhabi are only about an hour away, the empty quarter is just south, and the Oman border is only minutes away. Amy and I decided to start out March by hopping the border and heading into Oman with a local group called the Al Ain Weekenders. We didn't know what to expect, but we were happily surprised. 

The geography in Oman is drastically different than the U.A.E. Instead of an ocean of sand dunes and sky, Oman is filled with enormous mountains and rugged terrain.
