Young men jumping into the Wadi
These guys were doing flips off the cliff into the water. And our guide said they were not from the area. He noticed their accent (in Arabic of course) was not the same as the one from Tiwi the closest town where the guide is from.

Muscat Fish Market
After the tour of the Mosque we went to the fish and vegetable market. We were a bit late in the day, close to lunchtime so missed most of the action. I did notice different kinds of fish than what we get in Kuwait, don’t ask me to name them though.
Some colouful people in the market.

It’s about time I post someting on the trip to Oman in February
I’ll start posting about it each day some images. If you click on any images you can go to the full gallery on Flickr.
First we did a city tour of Muscat and the highlight is the Grand Mosque.
The main musalla (prayer hall) is square (external dimensions 74.4 x 74.4 metres) with a central dome rising to a height of fifty metres above the floor.
Largest chandelier in the world 8.5 tons, 8 m diameter with 1200 lights.
