Omani Mountains

At first, the hills of Oman look small. But that small red dot is me, for perspective.
And, if you spend more time in the mountains, you'll see native mountain animals like these sun-faded festive reindeer.
We got a very nice sunset.
And a selfie, of course.
I love a good sinkhole in the desert, but had questions about the warning sign - what can happen to you in the sinkhole?!
I didn't see anyone get sucked away into an endless tunnel
We drove to the end of the earth, and we took a couple of cliffhanger breaks.
Here's Barry trying to look confident about driving on cliff edges.
But this is what we came to see, the remotest of cliffy wall villages. They have a pulley system to get stuff back and forth, because otherwise it's a long walk uphill!
In addition to the desert, Oman has the sea. Here is the Sultan's secondary yacht.
