    ... maybe there was also a dip because the Khareef was so "bad" last year and many were disappointed and didn't return.

    By the way, where was that photo taken? ??? It looks like a lake but I cannot imagine it's Wadi Darbat because when I went there was hardly any water in it.

    I think it is the beach near Rakhyut...been there a couple of times.....the place is beautiful......
    maybe the dip is due to Ramadan falling exactly in the middle of it....
