This figurehead was so striking that I had a field day with the camera. Please tell me which of these three shots you prefer.

Yet another spectacular evening shot from Oman. Just after the sunset the other size of the sky got amazing color. I found this leading line to make composition. I went around this location for some time. However it is very hard to decide compositions up front. On top there is always a risk that you actually destroy your own composition on trying to explore the same. It did happen to me few times. Lucky that even in a desert where the sky is supposed to be very flat, I actually got some cloud to lit up the color.
Not to mention. Oman being not so popular for regular tourists is actually a gem of middle east. I have read about it, but had to go there to really believe how beautiful it really is.
Ok. If you have already reached till here; may be you will be interested to see the sand of Oman in a bit more detail!
Click here to see the short film documenting the natural beauty of the region as I have experienced it.

Hope you will enjoy the picture.

Located at the northern tip of the Arabian Peninsula lies an exclave belonging to the Sultanate of Oman named the Musandam. This was an interesting small fort in a small village on the way to the main city in the region. Great views of the village's mosque and of the pristine sea await those who take the time to stop off and explore.

Al Mughsayl : à environ 35 km à l'ouest de Salalah, la route passe dans les terres avant de rejoindre la cote et la Mer d'Arabie. Belles plages désertes ... à moins de 100 km de la frontière du Yemen !
Le Shabab Oman II (ou RNOV Shabab Oman II) est un navire-école et forme des cadets de la Marine omanaise en remplacement du Shabab Oman en fin de carrière. C' est un trois-mâts carré équipé de 34 voiles d' une surface de 2630 m². Sa coque en acier mesure 85,8 m de long. Comme tous les clippers, il est taillé pour la vitesse. Le navire porte l'emblème du sultanat d'Oman : deux cimeterres rouges croisées et le poignard cérémoniel (khunjar), ce qui permet d'identifier facilement le navire sous voiles.
Le Shabab Oman II est aussi une vitrine représentative du sultanat d'Oman dans le monde. Par son élégance et son aménagement luxueux (tapis d’Orient sur le pont, boiserie en merisier verni, cuivres étincelants) et la qualité de l'accueil de l'équipage, le navire a séduit les visiteurs pour sa première participation à l'Armada.
Nizwa (ou Nazwā, en arabe : نزوى) est l'ancienne capitale du Sultanat d'Oman, jusqu'à son remplacement par Mascate. Elle est située entre Mascate et Salalah, dans la région Ad-Dākhilīyah dont elle est la capitale.
La vieille mosquée du centre ville était autrefois un centre d'étude islamique et est toujours connue de ses anciens habitants sous le nom de Jama'a.
Nizwa est un centre pour la culture des dattes et leur conditionnement. Elle est connue pour son fort de la vieille ville, Falaj (Qanat) Daris, le vieux souk où les kandjars omanais sont fabriqués et le halwa (un dessert omanais traditionnel) est vendu.
