time of my life

had the most adventurous day! the day i have been looking forward to.

look at the awesome scenery!
i almost couldn't believe my eyes. this is just wow!
and we finally reached the desert! my goodness, it was breath-taking! every single shot is so postcard-worthy. i was so moved that i started tearing! you have to experience and breathe the air to know what i mean.
a shot with the personal guide! he was so friendly and generous. such a beatitude of an Omani. thumbs-up!
and i rode on a camel! i love this shot!
this place holds a very special meaning in my heart. i will never forget the goodness and awe i experienced here. truly a time of my life.

tranquility

visited the largest mosque, it was magnificent! the exterior and interior were gorgeous. it suffered a history of severe flooding before but has since been renovated and touched up.
decided to go local today and went to a wet market as well as the sook (market that sells spices and dried goods). you won't believe what i found!
saw these while walking along the road. Muscat is so beautiful, the blend between natural rocks and man-made buildings just stood side by side. everything else is low-rise; did i mention the tallest building in here is only 12 floors?
the drive up was pretty cool. just look at these, they never bore me.
nice view! the yachts do actually belong to the residents here but anyone could rent them. you just need connections.
and we went to a beach nearby. took off our shoes and let down our hair. it's quite interesting to see so many people here, all relaxing and playing in the sand and water. the tranquility beats nowhere else. couldn't stay for sunset as we have a long drive back before it gets dark.

Muscat, Oman

welcome to Muscat, Oman! i kind of like this place, the Omanis are so polite and the environment is awesome! totally love this pace. 
having a little drink by the beach. isn't the sunset simply beautiful?
a slow and relaxing day at the beach, picking sea shells and enjoying the breeze. how well-spent!

and as the sun set, we stood in amazement and awe.
 love this Moroccan restaurant! nice ambience, great service and delicious food.
i am so enjoying Dubai! it's such a lovely city with so much to do! can't wait for tomorrow!
