Millennium Resort Mussanah…

Last week-end, I went with friends to Millenium Resort Mussanah in Oman (about an hour’s drive from Muscat) to celebrate the 40th anniversary of our hiking group — the Muscat Hash House Harriers. Hiking every week-end in Oman with Omanis and fellow adventurers from around the world is often the highlight of my week — it’s a lovely mix (and fix) of exercise and fun. We started off our hotel stay in Mussanah on Friday with a refreshing hike along the beach — after which I took a quick dip in the moonlit sea before dinner.

We capped off our delicious buffet dinner later that night with a homemade cake to commemorate our anniversary (some worked it off later on the dancefloor near the pool). The next day (thanks to a late check out), I had plenty of downtime to enjoy a long walk on the beach, practice tai chi in the sand, and swim in the crystal clear water alongside other intrepid souls. Our week-end celebration was a lovely opportunity to try out a new hotel (I’m a spirited connoisseur of hotels in Oman), and a welcome reminder of the importance of community and relaxation.
