A small omani village in an oasis near the Wahiba Sands. It was very hot and very quiet. Only a few crickets chirped in the long dry grass.
A desert camp just inside of the Wahiba Sands. We stayed in a Beduin hut. We spent most of the evening lounging about in a communal sitting area filled with carpets and floor pillows. An ideal place to drink chai, eat dates and listen to desert's silence.
This is a wadi - essentially, a rather dried-up river bed where warm water springs out of the mountain.

The grand mosque with confident elegance.
