"O mankind! WE created you from a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes that you may know and honor each other (not that you should despise one another). Indeed the most honorable of you in the sight of God is the most righteous."

Wadi Shab - Grand Canyon of Oman.

My friends - Monty & Zaheer....!!!! These are the crazies who did everything for this trip to happen - starting from Planning, buying stuffs, arraging them, marinating the meat (chicken & prawns actually) for barbecuing, selecting the right songs to play, entertainment stuffs, final gear ups & what not. The trip was nothing but exciting all the way long & till we reached the place though Monty was smooth on the wheel probably might have thought not to spoil my car even after we had told him to drive faster as much as he can but his courtesy & generosity didn't allow him to. Monty.... next time don't be so buddy...!!!
Upon the arrival, the breeze took us to another world - a world of superb view & mind blowing thrill. Literally we fell in love with the place at the first sight itself. The feeling of 'excitement' gave way to 'overwhelm' once we started trekking all the way through the narrow rocky path-ways carrying the stuffs like a plastic mat & pillow, BBQ stuffs, cool box, even a chair to sit n relax. The crowd was really less which made the trekking more interesting. The deeper we went, fewer the crowd & higher the joy we felt.
We then halted @ a place near to a 'wadi' awsomely green & transparent, un-believably silent & absolutely calm. We could see the tiny white stones lying low bed all through the depth of the water & the water itself was chilly cold as if we had dived straight into the heart of zues (the greek god of ice or infact weather) from helios (the greek god of sun). Indeed we were longing for a fresh water dip & thus did a quick swim which had freshened us up.
Then we were all set to go for the BBQ...!!!
