OMAN - MUSCAT

After days at sea today we arrived in Muscat, the sail in was beautiful. I had no idea this would be so attractive. A huge incense burner was close to the port.

The Chris, Linda, Mary Ellen, Jim and Cliff and Mary joined us on a Dhow cruise. It was very rough but we saw key areas of Muscat from the boat. Would not suggest that in the future. Extremely clean city, lots of flowers and trees which was surprising as they do not get much rain. We went shopping in Souq as I needed a scarf for the mosque in Abu Dhabi. Normal Souq with the vendors wanting you to stop in their store. Probably never wear this scarf and "neru" hat again but it is necessary for the Mosque. We have been there before and it is a stunning mosque.
