Oman is known for its popular tourist attractions. Wadis, deserts, beaches, and mountains are areas which make Oman unique to its neighboring GCC nations (Wadis in particular). Jebel Shams is Oman's tallest mountain, highest point, and is a popular destination for camping. Most of the major malls are located in Muscat, the capital. Other popular tourist activities include sand skiing in the desert, mountain-climbing, camel racing, and camping.

A vast desert plain covers most of central Oman, with mountain ranges along the north (Jebel Akhdar) and southeast coast, where the country's main cities are also located: the capital city Muscat, Matrah and Sur in the north, and Salalah in the south. Oman's climate is hot and dry in the interior and humid along the coast.the coast is 1700 km long and most is sandy beaches

Mark got me up around 8:30AM and we consumed breakfast on their back porch to enjoy his garden.  Shortly thereafter we were bound for Oman!  We drove through three Emirates en route.  First was Ajman, immediately beyond Sharjah as we proceeded north up the coast.  Struck me as rather junky and Mark reinforced that due to the vast expanse of desert immediately outside your door, the locals consider it an enormous garbage can.  After this we encountered Umm-Al-Q...
