Kitetrip Oman / Ras al hadd - Masirah
The Sultanate of Oman lies at the very edge of the Arabian Peninsula. It is the country that has seen the fastest development in the world over the last half century. It was only in 1972 that oil deposits were discovered here, allowing for a relatively rapid and successful modernisation of the country. We visited Oman for the first time in 2019. We practically fell in love with him instantly. Several things characterise this country. It is almost absolute safety, excellent infrastructure, great Indian cuisine, interesting architecture, friendly people and beautiful scenery.
For kitesurfing there are some very attractive locations. It is primarily Ras al Hadd, which offers a beautiful shallow and clean lagoon with a sandy bottom, and then the island of Masirah, where there is a lagoon of immense size, with flat water. According to statistics, the east coast of Oman is one of the windiest at this time of the year and 9 days out of 10 there are winds stronger than 10 m/s! So we really have something to look forward to.
We could spend over a month in Oman to see all it has to offer. We have selected the most interesting things and we will catch many more attractions during our 11 days stay. We will visit the Sultan Qabus Mosque in Muscat, see the Tiva Wadi where we will swim in fresh water and natural pools before arriving in Ras al Hadd where we will snorkel with turtles and spend more days.
From Ras al Hadd we will drive along the east coast of Oman south towards Masirah Island. We will spend the next 3 days on Masirah, right on the beach by the lagoon with shallow water, where we will enjoy kitesurfing. We’ll be eating at an excellent Indian restaurant. From Masirah, we head inland into the mountains and see the second deepest canyon in the world – the Grand Canyon at Jebel Sham, the highest mountain in Oman.
Kitesurfing is planned mainly in Ras al Hadd and Masirah. If conditions allow, we will also ride directly on the city’s kite beach in Muscat.
