The Desert Diva شوف (arabic) shoof: look! see! (english)
The Omani people love to decorate their homes with the most intricate patterns and designs, starting with their front door. This one can be found in the village of Al Ayn, Jebel Akhdar
Read more about the doors of Oman in this wonderful blogpost below. Maybe I should have a separate side-series “doors of Oman” – I know I have plenty of photos!
The Sultanate of Oman is a truly wonderful country, full of beautiful places to visit and interesting things to see. Some tourists are content to spend their holidays within the confines of their luxurious Arabian styled 4 star hotels, and there is nothing wrong with that. However if you get yourself out there you might find something unusual, quirky or bizarre to photograph and as a bonus, any Omanis you encounter will bowl you over with their kindness and hospitality.
I have traveled extensively throughout the Sultanate and not seen half of all there is to see. Will you follow me and شوف Oman?
