Oman part III - the Doors in Sur

---

Doors en masse

When Jordi and I were in Sur we walked through the streets of the Old Town. Maybe the name Old Town is a bit misleading because I don't know if this part of the city is any older than any other part. But to me it looks like and old town so I call it Old Town.

In the Old Town I especially liked the doors of the houses. The houses themselves were mostly quite dull to be honest, but the doors were nice. Almost every house had an interesting door. The doors came in many different colours and were skilfully crafted.

When Emma and I started this blog in 2006 the main purpose was to make it possible for us to upload photos and make them available to our friends and relatives. In the Old Town I took photos of many doors and now, staying true to the original purpose of this blog, I make them available to you. I hope you like these photos as much as I do.

You should ask the Tourist Office in Oman if they want to use your photos for nice posters, like the ones they've done in some cities in Europe!
