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 |
