Oman and Dubai.........a trip full of contrasts 2012
From the hustle and bustle of the Creek... |
...to the peace and solitude of the sands |
from the ultra modern city.... |
....to ancient towns |
from lush oasis... |
...to barren desert |
from the mountains at the View camp |
to deep gorges |
from vultures.... |
...to hoopoes |
from the coast.... |
to country village, Bilad Sayt |
from old religious sites.... |
....to modern mosques |
from the View tented camp |
....to posh hotel |
from the cattle market... |
......to the fish market |
....and lots of smiling people |
