Getting there is part of the fun: the drive to Qurayat takes you through rugged mountains. Qurayat itself is a pleasant fishermen town with several things to see and do.
The waterfront corniche and beach are a good place to start exploring this fishermen town. I walked on the beach, and then along the corniche of Qurayat, checking out the many fishing boats on the beach and in the small harbour. As it was not very early anymore, there was little going on here. I decided to walk through the backside streets of Qurayat, which allowed me to see the houses, meet some people, be followed by some curious teenagers, before being given a present: a guide to how to convert to Islam. I walked past some of the many mosques of this coastal town, before heading back to my car. I drove to the other side of town, to where the road ends on a boulevard. Here, you have a good view of the defensive watchtower on an islet in the harbour.
