We're going to drive quite a distance today, but that's no problem in Oman. The main roads are straight and good, you can indeed do 300 km in 3 hours. It takes us longer because of the bird stops of course. On the way we see a white-eared bulbul, Hume's whitethroat, booted eagle and a lot of desert wheatear (which we're going to see very often). When we reach the coast the day is almost over. We see flamingos looking for food on the dried-up mudflats, but the real work here will be in the coming days.
