Wadi's in Oman 10/03/09

On Saturday, John our director in Dubai, took us on a trip through the mountains in Oman to a series of Wadis, which are canyons.

This is across the border in Oman, the paved road ends as we head into the 'Wadi'

Passed some goats that liked to hang out on top of this truck.

Coming out into the mountains above the Wadi. There is no vegetation anywhere, you see lots of various rock formations.

This house was in a beautiful location, but really remote in the mountains in a very desolate area.

A stop for lunch with John and Peter

Driving back out of the mountains you see many ridges of mountains into the distance

We went by the Friday Market on the way back. The Friday Market is actually open every day of the week though, and not just Fridays

And back to Dubai at the end of the day. The cityscape looks impressive after a day in the remote mountains
