Jet lag is not an issue.  Slumbered through the night and didn’t awake feeling groggy.  Mark & I went down for a buffet breakfast that was comparable to anything I’ve enjoyed in the States.  Just gabbing away while we ate was a pleasure.  Such a treat to catch up with ol…

The Musandam Peninsula, situated on the tip of Arabia, is dubbed the Fjord of the Arabia and is comparable in its beauty to the fjords in Norway.   The drive from Dubai, especially after passing the Omani borders, was very pleasurable as it took us along the breathtaking and winding coastal…

Probably I am just too exagerrating about this, but only seen UAE as a middle east country has given me a kind of standard, so when finally I went to see Muscat, it just brought me a different things I might be able to see here in this region. Muscat is very different compare to the cities I've kno…

From Cairo, our Oman Air flight initially took us over the Red Sea, then across the heart of Saudi Arabia. From there, we turned south to head over the tiny gulf states of Bahrain and Qatar until we crossed into the United Arab Emirates, with the bright lights of Dubai easily visible along the hori…

In 2006, I was hoping to return to Iran but after being denied a visa, I decided to take a short trip to Oman. Unfortunately, during my journey from Bangkok, I developed a severe ear ache.

For the Eid holiday I went camping on Masirah Island aka Turtle Island. Had lots of fun in the sun.

After 6 months of travelling many things have happened. I saw whalesharks in Mozambique, heard lions roaring in Serengeti, smelled exotic spices in Zanzibar. Froze on the way to the summit of Kilimanjaro and sweated in the deserts of Oman. Met Xhosa people with painted faces in South Africa, sipped black tea with Pakistani workers in the Emirates and walked with Buddhist monks around stupas in Nepal...

OMAN - An interesting part of the world to discover the more traditional Arabia.

Was able to drag a friend to come with me on a weekend drive to Muscat. T'was fun and, well, a bit different from the usual hussle and buzzle of Dubai.

Hello All,I headed into the Ruwi section of Muscat to check out the Sultan Qaboos Mosque and look for some food.  The was very nice, but did not have alot of character to it.  I took a few photographs and walked around looking for food.  I'm not sure if it was the time I was searching, but I cou…
