Arab Horses in Oman

One of my favourite images are of Oman’s Arab Horses decked out in traditional silver.  Marco Polo wrote about them in his book ‘The Travels’ -  “and the merchants take a great number of Arab horses to that market” (of India from Al Balid).

The Dogs of Hamriyah Oman

Driving around Hamriyah Roundabout in Ruwi it seems a large pack, of large dogs, has taken over the place.

They certainly didnt like cars driving through their newly occupied territory.

Khor Rori Oman

Flying down to Salalah after visiting northern Oman we have been visiting some of the places in my new book “Walking Through History”.

Eagles in Oman

With part of our group from The Traveller it was good to visit Salalah, where the weather was warmer compared to relatively chilly northern Oman (if 20c can be called chilly).
