Exactly one year ago, if a wild-eyed old man (à la Doc Brown) approached me on the street in Toronto and fortold that in a year's time I would be working in the middle east and taking a nice little road trip to the Sultanate of Oman, I would have kicked wildly at his groin and continued my disgruntled daily search for a reasonably priced shawarma.
Turns out that crazy old man was right. Long story short, I quit my job and next thing you know B and me were celebrating the Islamic holiday of Eid Al Adha by taking a roadie to Muscat, Oman with our good friends Holmsy and Em.
Muscat is chalk-full of ancient fortified walls and bright white mosques. It is the gateway to the Arabian Gulf. A hospitable, humble, quaint even, old city compared to its neighbour, UAE.
We liked it.
Good peeps, Holmsy and Em.
