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.
It also is a promenade and almost all covered shelters were occupied by Omanis in their long white clothes, enjoying the view of the Gulf of Oman with the pleasant sound of the waves crushing on the beach just below. It took me some time, but I found a way to drive to the other side of the river, giving me access to the sand dunes and the beach east of Qurayat. Here, I took a long walk, taking in the views, listening to the sea, the screeching of the birds diving into the green-blue sea, before driving back to Qurayat to have lunch and visit the 19th century fort. Small and cosy, the fort needs some restoration works, even though the views from the roof and the tower are obviously good anyway.
