A Different World View

Night at the opera
Well actually a day at the opera. Unfortunately there was nothing playing the day that we were in Muscat but we still had a chance to tour the opera house and admire the beautiful architecture. Since there were rehearsals happening during the time of our visit, we were only permitted to tour the corridors and halls of the building. However a nice guide got our attention and whispered that he could get us in 🙈, so we got in and watched part of the Mughal-E-Azam rehearsal.

Little oasis
Our favorite wadi was Wadi Shab. The visit to this wadi included a short boat ride, an easy hike to the water, swimming, which included wading over some uncomfortable rocks (or foot reflexology) and finally swimming through the narrowest passage to discover a beautiful little cave (check out the next post for the video). The weather was perfect for swimming in March, we only wish we wore some water shoes as walking on rocks barefoot for 30 minutes or so really tested our pain tolerance.
