Road Trip to Oman!

During the EID holidays, took a road trip to Oman with Paul, an Irish and Anna, a Singaporean. It was a last minute decision.......as I was to have gone for a camping trip with my French colleague and his friends when Paul got in touch with me. But this trip to Oman was so much fun!

Can't believe finding a hotel in the middle of the night and that too a quaint one which was inexpensive ......only to be driving away as the Irish found it too expensive for his taste to spend just for a few hours! But again...no complain. We all need to agree. So away we drove in the middle of the night to look for a cheaper place.

It was a blissful 3 days trip and I feel Paul and Anna too enjoyed the trip as much as I did! Some pictures from this trip below.

Flying into Qatar

Once more after leaving the city, the country that I had called home for nearly 4 years.....I am flying back once again for a short business trip. The view from up....is spectacular!
