About this blog
Between the Red Sea and Persian Gulf, in the northern hinterlands of Oman's Al-Dhahira region, classic Arabia meets the unexpected. Cinnamon-colored sand dunes from the Empty Quarter nip at the green fern-gullies of Wadi Dhum; groves of date-palms shadow the honeycombed-tombs at Bat (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and mud-brick citadels and wild mangoes couple brazenly at Mokneyat. Bounded by the jagged Hajar Mountains in the northeast and the immense Rub al-Khali desert to the west, the provincial town of Ibri makes an ideal base camp for exploring this often-overlooked section of the Sultanate
