The Sultanate of Oman

hidden deep in the Arabian peninsula. lies the windswept sultanate of Oman. It can be described like the people as each mirror the other.... gentle, pleasing, deliberate and deeply contrasted. With the old traditional bedouin communities co-existing with modern GSM satellite phones, with camel races in the desert sands next to SUV suburbans ....the main road goes through wadis(flash flood rivers) jebels( mountains) and faraj( water channels) that run from the mountains to precious fields below...their is no harmony here but a oneness and contentment we have yet to feel anywhere else...the sheer isolation coupled with modern advances....camels and donkeys run wild while goats graze in the lower mountains...Oman will be a hard place to leave...
