Not long ago, a friend
posted on Facebook:
Help needed. My daughter has
a school project. "Make a collage of what people think of when you think
of Oman". Keep it clean, people, she's only 10!
Some friends replied:
Sands, mountains, camels,
Toyota
Bedouin camps in funny
little wadis, secluded wadi pools, the Eloise shell
Big spiders and scorpions!
Eeek!
Camping, beaches, Al-Fair,
Sultan Centre, dates, dishdasha
Grand mosque, old villages
and forts, souks, sand dunes
Frankincense, amazing
beaches, sandstorms, black and white dress code, taxis, dates
.....
The Sultanate of Oman
celebrates its 43rd National Day today.
For most expats, Oman has connotations of a safe haven compared to other nations in the Gulf. It is a peaceful country despite its proximity to more volatile regions.
The people of this country have fiercely guarded their traditions while adapting to a modern way of life. They adore and respect their wise ruler, Sultan Qaboos bin Said.

Omanis and people who love Oman!
