Me, Mom, brother and family enjoyed the trip. It was a wonderful experience going through mountain roads and watching the scenery. We started from Sharjah, reached Masafi town, from there we went Dibba. From Dibba the experience was very nice as it was evening time with See in one side and beautiful mountains on other side. Here is some pictures I took.
