Day 8 - The best kept secret of Arabia
Oh man. Oman.
What a wonderful country. What a wonderful week. What a pearl in Arabia. What a beautiful censer and the best that mother earth has to offer.
With beautiful nature, a vast desert, amazing wadis, a rich past, a friendly and warm population and impressive forts, Oman is a big surprise. So completely different from little brother the United Arab Emirates.
The country has known great civilizations and has been inhabited since ancient times. It has unparalleled beauty with hidden and surprising gems. So different from those other countries bordering the Arabian Gulf. Even with regard to equality between men and women. Here women are highly educated and they even hold high positions in the country. And to think that Oman has not been part of the modern world for 50 years.
The inhospitable country with a gentle soul has been gradually unveiled by us over the past week. The country manages to merge Western influences with its Arab background in a unique way. A country that, with good reason, is high on the list of all travel magazines and is an absolute must to visit. A country that travelers have long dreamed of. It is without a doubt the biggest secret of the Arabian Peninsula. But maybe we should keep it that way for a while.
