Prologue: I can hardly wait to put this series of two Posts together and to publish them. I hope you all enjoy them. I am not staying at the CROWNE PLAZA MUSCAT hotel, but it has become a special landmark for me during my visit here to Muscat, the capital city of The Sultanate of Oman.
In this the first Post, I am going to introduce you to The CROWNE PLAZA as you see it from the beach.
In the second Post, I am going to take you up to and inside of the hotel. There we are going to eat a great breakfast together.
Why did I post the above and below photos that you have never seen?
To assure you that, while you will have already seen some of the photos in this Post over on Dot.NET, perhaps 80% of the below photos will be new-to-you.
QURUM BEACH FEATURING THE CROWN PLAZA
The stately CROWNE PLAZA overlooks Qurum Beach. If you look East up Qurum Beach it is hard to miss the CROWNE PLAZA. This makes it a real landmark of Qurum Beach.
My first ever view of The CROWNE PLAZA was from the roof of my Qurum Beach Hotel. I was up on the roof just looking around to see what I could see and there it was. Of course I did not know what it was other than a stately hotel that no doubt was very expensive.
The first photo overlooks Muscat. I thought to myself, "Where on earth is the beach I have been hearing about? Is the beach 10-miles away?"
Then I turned to my right and got my first ever glimpse of the CROWNE PLAZA.
Then I 'zoomed in' on the CROWNE PLAZA.
I was impressed. I still am impressed.
Qurum Beach and The CROWNE PLAZA MUSCAT.
I hope you enjoy seeing the beautiful Qurum Beach. The below photos begin at the East end of the beach and proceed Westward to the extreme West end of the beach.
Looking West.
Looking West.

The character of Qurum Beach changes drastically as you walk to the West!

A few late afternoon photos of the hotel and the beach.
As you are going to see, the character of Qurum Beach changes drastically at sunset.

This completes Part 1 of this set of two Posts.
In Part 2 below, we are going to visit the CROWNE PLAZA MUSCAT. We will go inside and we will eat a magnificent breakfast.
Smiles, Cap
