MUSCAT - THE WHITE CITY

As soon as I arrived in Muscat - the capital and also the largest city in the kingdom of Oman- I was immediately captivated by the white buildings lying close together.

AS SOON AS I ARRIVED IN MUSCAT - THE CAPITAL AND ALSO THE LARGEST CITY IN THE KINGDOM OF OMAN - I WAS IMMEDIATELY CAPTIVATED BY THE WHITE BUILDINGS LYING CLOSE TOGETHER. DESPITE BEING A WEALTHY COUNTRY, OMAN HAS NO SKYSCRAPERS OR BOASTFUL ARCHITECTURE, THE CITY JUST STRETCHES AMONG THE BIZARRE SHAPED ROCKY MOUNTAINS OF THE WESTERN AL HAJAR RANGE AND THE EDGE OF THE BLUE GULF OF OMAN. THE CULTURAL HERITAGE, THE SOLEMN RELIGIOUS STRUCTURES AND THE COLORFUL ARAB LIFESTYLE MAKE THIS PLACE LIKE A KINGDOM OF THE GODS.
