I was so excited about the prospect of getting wet in Oman but surprisingly I got more wet(due to rain) in Al Ain . It literally was raining cats and dogs...I did not want to leave Al Ain and go the Oman...Life can be cruel in such situations... :(Stainedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17718001009325538247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35644762.post-83943707204535657282008-08-12T11:17:00.000+04:002008-08-12T11:17:00.000+04:00My fave pics are 3,6, 10 and 11.Awesome.

I'm so parched for rain, I could just stand there and soak myself up.<BR/>Its true the best time to go would be now, and a trip is long overdue.<BR/>It reminded me a lot of Malaysia as well. The greenery is just like a soothing balm.<BR/>I think for those of us who come from tropical backgrounds, miss all that lushness.<BR/>All this artificial greenery just does not do it for me.<BR/>One request jaani, the next lot of pics, pls nmbr them. It makes commenting easier for us old ladies.<BR/>Hee hee. I had to write them down to keep track.<BR/>(TMI!!!

I used to think it would be a nice place to get away from the fast life in Dubai. Now I think Salalah would be a way better option though you need atleast 4-5 days there to enjoy it...<BR/><BR/>@ D..I've heard that before. Brother did tell me quite a few times that it's very similar to India....Stainedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17718001009325538247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35644762.post-52299570725933662172008-08-11T18:10:00.000+04:002008-08-11T18:10:00.000+04:00The pictures... #9, #10 and #11 ... remind me of m...The pictures... #9, #10 and #11 ... remind me of my road trip to Pune... scenery ie... all green and full of trees etc...The Egohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01377536951398761775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35644762.post-90697531959585591692008-08-11T16:56:00.000+04:002008-08-11T16:56:00.000+04:00I've been to Turkey.

You will like the place. <BR/>About Oman, if my friggin' friends can wake the hell up early atleast once on a holiday I would have gone to Oman last year. Hmph! Same case with Jebel Hafeet.

My dad wants to take a trip to Turkey next...driving that too if we can...<BR/><BR/>The Fruits were totally amazing..I haven't had so many yummy bananas for such a long time though the coconuts and sugarcane were a disappointment.<BR/><BR/>Spoilt is too small a word (and wrongly spelled according to Firefox)... :P<BR/>Thing with normal/regular toilets is I can float(too much information but what the heck)... :)<BR/><BR/>That is one of the reasons I haven't traveled much. Just Oman and Kuwait. This was officially my first vacation with my family after 16 years (unless you count a 3 day trip to Muscat).<BR/><BR/>The cows were everywhere in the mountainous regions. Maybe you didn't go high or deep enough.<BR/><BR/>Neel...you should go there. The Summer season is the best time to go but be prepared to be ripped off. They seem to think us Dubai people have pots of gold lying around....Stainedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17718001009325538247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35644762.post-31559184370350501552008-08-11T14:10:00.000+04:002008-08-11T14:10:00.000+04:00WTF!

We flew to...wow, that looks like a difficuilt ride. We flew to Salalah - Al Jazeera is really cheap to Salalah!<BR/><BR/>The fruits there are amazing. Fresh fruit available everywhere and the local produce is actually nice. Unlike the fruits available in Dubai - they just look good, bite into them and it feels like its fake or something, different colour and a bland taste, unlike what its actually supposed to be like. (genetically enhanced produce maybe)<BR/><BR/>you seem to be really finicky about toilets. Spoilt arent you? hehe. Your mom actually cleaned it for you!<BR/><BR/>I dont know how you'll manage to travel! (BTW I'd prefer Indian public toilets to the regular public toilets anytime, less touching involved :p, although I'm not so good at using them either)<BR/><BR/>and cows! DUDE you HAVE to holiday in India.. turst me, I dont remember any cows in Salalah... or am I just immune to noticing them around.Harshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02226854548006061537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35644762.post-52501178984111671092008-08-11T11:01:00.000+04:002008-08-11T11:01:00.000+04:00I did have a great time and I am back...The grazin...I did have a great time and I am back...<BR/>The grazing cows are really a big issue especially when its foggy...I was more scared about hitting them then they hitting us...Stainedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17718001009325538247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35644762.post-4139288767188949302008-08-11T07:22:00.000+04:002008-08-11T07:22:00.000+04:00I love going to Salalah – the think I don’t like i...I love going to Salalah – the think I don’t like in the Khareef are all the cows on the road http://blog.omanholiday.co.uk/blog/Photos/_archives/2008/7/11/3787567.html I’m alway wondering if they will head butt my car !!!! – hope you have a great time and get back safelyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
