Nov. 21 Dubai to Muscat

We decided not to try and get up early as we were told traffic was bad starting before 7 AM, so we had a late breakfast and did some shopping, including getting a better camera so that we will not miss so many great shots, like the fox by the roadside. We finally left our hotel at about 1 pm and crossed the border at Hatta, which took only a reasonable delay to get out of the UAE. Then we drove to Shinas on Oman's northern coast for a late lunch of Indian food at a roadside restaurant, and drove home reaching there after dark, tired but happy with our few days adventures and Leslie's Chinese purchases.
