Sunset in the desert

5.00Desert sunset, tour that deserves to be done. From Salalah visit to the park of incense trees, stop at the UNESCO site , but we did not enter . Finally, the tyres deflate and the journey over the dunes begins. To see the sunset well it is better to look for a high dune. I was very annoyed by the exaggerated display of off-road vehicles up and down the highest dunes to please tourists. A couple of cars got covered up in fact. Mohammed Ali was our fantastic guide. Cheerful and helpful, Arabic music and stories about Oman. And no car shows! Finally Bedouin dinner, we ate very well although I expected a "dining room" a little more characteristic.

5.00The Frankincense Trail was a grand experience from the museum to the tree. Realizing the importance of this incense in trade through the centuries, helped one to appreciate the history of Oman, particularly Salalah. The guide was knowledgeable and curteous. Stopping to purchase camel meat to eat was an added treat. I highly recommend this tour to all traveling through Salalah.
