The hut name Barasti refers to the material in which these huts are built. The palm fronds (barasti) used in the final phase of building are carefully selected by hand and retained for their high quality before being prepared according to tradition with a special carving knife (majeez or das).
The bathroom was open aired as the rock walls didn't meet the roof, very neat to have fresh air flowing through - especially after apartment A/C living in Bahrain.
As you can see Oman is hilly but rather dry. Great little tracks for exploring the hills on, very nice to get above sea level again!
Looking back along the track towards dive center and below a great place to sit and watch the world.
