Central Coast of Oman with Turtles & Gulls
The Central Coast of Oman is affected by the summer Monsoon and so as Muscat is now not only hot but also humid we took a few days to travel down the coast from Muscat.
Mid-summer in Oman is also Continue reading “Central Coast of Oman with Turtles & Gulls”

Serenade of the Seas in Muscat to replace the Brilliance of the Seas
It will be sad to no longer see the Brilliance of the Seas
on her regular visit into Muscat. So we look forward to next seasons visits by the Serenade of the Seas, a sister ship.

Calendars on Oman
for 2011
For the start of 2011 there are lots of calendars on Oman to choose from. A couple have front pages with my photos on .
Trips in Salalah
in nice weather
With cooler, sunny weather it was nice to walk with guests through the mountains near Salalah in southern Oman.
Oman’s Three Seas
a journey
Making the most of Oman’s coast Ernest Meili took a journey down the 1700kms or so of Oman’s coastline. He talked about his experience, in one of the best talks held by the ESO.
I really look forward to doing the same journey with Nobel Caledonia on their Oman Cruise and hope my talks will be as interesting.
Brilliance of the Seas
to be joined in Muscat by Seabourn Legend in a couple of years
Joining the Costa and Aida ships, Brilliance of the Seas is now a regular arrival for us in Muscat bringing people for a visit into Oman
As its a new destination for her it will take time for the cruise excursions to be tailored to her passengers needs but I am confident that Muscat will be one of her more popular port calls in the Gulf cruises.
Cruise Ship comes into Muscat
to take shore excursions in Oman
Avoiding the rain the Aida arrives into Mina Sultan Qaboos, Muscat.
This is probably the most colourful ship coming into Oman – and on a weekly basis does brighten up the harbour as the visitors spend part of their holidays in Oman.
Some cruise excursions during the type of heavy rain we have been having, needed to be cancelled, but better safe than sorry.
