FROM DOHA TO MUSCAT
This blog is an attempt to document the thought process, preparation and the actual journey for our motorcycle tour from Doha to Muscat. We are a group of Malaysian and Indonesian bikers often ride together. Hopefully, this could also be a medium for readers, especially motorcycle riders to share their interest, experience and help us in the process of our journey.

Pleasant Morning
Second day was greeted by the mountain with green icing. Next to where we camped was a hot spring. Nice!

End of Day One - Al Ain
At the foothill of Jabal Hafeet. At the background is the winding road up the hill. Nice ride, totally different from Qatar.
