Safeer Hotel Suites Muscat

... was quite an experience. Oman Air run a Daily service every evening from Heathrow Airport arriving at 0900 hours the following day and returns every afternoon, ideal time to get to and from your hotel in Oman.<br><br>Oman has an enormous ...

... thick widows and very heavy doors. This museum did not allow coach parties and there was us and one other couple again with their two guides in attendance. Back to Old Muscat and the first Royal Palace, more grand buildings viewed from outside. The countryside here is mountainous and quite barren but further south becomes greener. Our driver was very keen to know if we had a good impression on Muscat and its people. he came from Niswa, which is in the mountains ...

... there was a menu, we asked for the lunch special, which included about 6 different dishes (lentils, vegetables, dahl, etc), rice, and nan bread. While we ate, the waiter came over with pots of more food and filled up our plates. I think we ended up getting three additional helpings. With a bottle of water, I think the total came to 2.6 Omani Riyals or about $7.20 for both of us. We will certainly go back another time.

... tellement bruyants s'activent et que le noir gagne du terrain) en laquelle je trouvai, ce lundi a Shiraz, une ultime et puissante démonstration. Une leçon formidable dont les tenants sont, j'imagine, voués à eclater sur la place publique d'ici quelques années (la majorite des étudiants iraniens est aujourd'hui féminine). Ce qui m'amène à un second point. Probable deuxième image qui vient en tête, lorsque l'on évoque l'Iran, que ...

... it was as it's in Amman.  Lunch was good and now it was time to head back and back.  On the way back, we stopped at this store called LuLu's Hypermarket that we had been driving by.  It was a hoot!  I can only compare it to a walmart on steroids with lots of everything.  There were jewelery stores, clothing, shoes, electronics, house goods, and then there was the grocery store on the main floor.  Prices for general food items were a lot ...

... refresh ourselves over a long tall pomegranate juice before combating the Mutrah Souq. At the entrance there was an old man in a dirty dishdisha serving up hot omani coffee. I wanted to ask him for his photo, and when I told Trina I was going to ask I actually said to her "I was going to ask for his phone number". I know its been awhile but come on!!! The souq was just starting to come alive after the afternoon break ...

... it to identify it - golden coffee pots, Sinbad's treasure chest, leaping dolphins, a sailing ship on a fountain of water etc. The river in Wadi Mayh had very little water in it, but as we progressed we realized that the broken old road hadn't been abandoned in favour of the new one we were traveling - it had been totally trashed by a flood in the wadi. Quite sobering to see the result of the power of water in a confined space. What had been a 6 lane highway was ...

... very confused when cab drivers kept asking us if we wanted a ride to Egypt. As far as we were concerned that was like a whole other country and therefore very far away. We had a few hours to kill and we could have gone swimming or out on a boat or something like that. However after the bumpy bus ride I was back to feeling bad again. We ended up sitting for about 4 hours in an air-conditioned McDonalds to cool down and to hydrate ourselves. A happy meal ...

... Cd's of pictures into shutterfly and see how that works. As soon as we leave one country we will send in the pictures which should take max 2 weeks for them to get there and get uploaded. Sorry for the delay but I'm sure it will be better than us sitting at the computer for 10 hours each time we try to put some up. That sucks! So Oman was incredible! It was everything it claimed to be and then some. Jess's mom Tina met us at the airport last Thursday. She is so much ...

... to hotel with contended hearts, and were on bed almost immediately. Wind was blowing ******* the windows and I gradually went to deep sleep. Next day my friend waked me up n we got ready by 0715 to have a heavy breakfast planning to make full use of the day. We started n our first stop was a very old mosque built some hundreds of years back. This is very unlike the present mosques with a dome and a pillar. It had lots of domes in a single structure. Most of the roads in this ...
