oman is like the moon.
we arrived in the early morning and headed straight for the so called old town. when we got in front of the royal palace, something seemed odd: there was no one there, except of course the cleaners.
imported indian service staff in this place seem to out number inhabitants by a ration of 3:1. every where we walked we saw indians in uniforms cleaning and watering, but ver few omanis, except those in a few large white SUVs that from time to time rolled by.
we went to a coffee shop for a drink: we were the only people there. we went to the souk, and again the same thing. we took a walk in muttrah, through its back alleyways that zing and zag in and out of the incredible sun.....but agaain there were just a few old men who stared at us....
after a few hours we grabbed a cab and headed for a resort recommended in my guide. it was on the way to the resort that we saw that oman is really truely and amazing place. i have never seen nature like it. everywhere there were enormous mountains surrounding the road , with the occasional lagoon peaking out. when we actually reached the coast, we were shocked. there is nothing like that anywhere else i have seen. incredible.
