Travel and Geology at the same time.
Curious to know, what exactly is the objective of exploring these places ? Gulf of Oman is beautiful, looks like its being developed.

Very good question. I am surprised that no one asked this before.
I am a hydrocarbon (oil and gas) exploration geologist. Therefore, we work in subsurface. Problem is our ability to 'view' subsurface is limited. We can only use indirect methods for an broad coverage:
However, these are both limited in extent and uncertain in signal processing. To mitigate this uncertainty, we typically look at exposed rock at the surface in outcrop like the ones you see in the post as analog. So we study these rock in terms of their facies, and structural style, so that we can understand what is in subsurface with some degree of certainty before you drill a well.
Wow, quite the expertise.
