A proper road trip...
Your photos of Wadi Shab are gorgeous. Hope you had some good music to get you through those long, straight, flat road bits. I know Indian food is now global, but it seems odd that it was the only option in some of those places... hope the food gets more local as you venture further on.

Oman
Fantastic trip! Fantastic blog. We'd love to go to Oman. Maybe our next time in the Middle East. We are getting ready to go to Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and Egypt. Wish we had time for Oman.

That sounds like a fantastic trip. Lucky to have gone to Egypt and Jordan a lot of years ago, they are so packed with history you will love it, just travel safe.

Eastern outback!
Hey guys xx, wonder why these people in the hotel industry do not smile? I mean surely they are not use to seeing a couple of Australians passing through who are genuinely interested in what the country they live in is like? Weird. Wadi Shab looks really nice and I like the free range/eat tree goats and hard beds :)...love ya xxx

Do it youurself
Thanks Keith, Salalah was our favourite town in Oman and the coastal drive back was sensational, and would really recommend hiring a car and doing it yourself.
