Ahlan wa sahlan fi Oman ya ukhti!


My sister wanted to come and visit us in Saudi Arabia. Fortunately, her visa was denied (she's a potentially dangerous unmarried woman willing to travel on her own!) so we decided to meet up in Oman instead! And that was much more beautiful, and more fun! We went snorkelling in Muscat, then drove to the mountains, entered a couple of wadis, headed to the desert and drove back to Muscat. 

The pictures speak for themselves:


Boat ride in the Mutrah area


The water was clear, and we saw many colourful fishes, and I even swam with a turtle! 


Music is not much appreciated in Muscat...

  1. Yes, we've been there a couple of times, it's quite nice, but quite expensive too. Some Saudi people told me that Kuwait is where you can eat the best in the region.
