Tropic of Cancer Oman and my magazine article about it

I chased the sun through Oman along the Tropic of Cancer

Its one of the Earths great circles of latitude. Cutting through northern Oman, the Tropic of Cancer crosses some of Oman’s most spectacular scenery and historical places. I journeyed along the Tropic from the place where the sun first touches Oman to its setting.
