A simple blog about our round-the-world trip. We will update when we can. Since our readership is international, we will write mostly in English. However, from time to time, we will write in Molière's language and Mickiewicz'. Feel free to comment and ask us questions about our destinations and "coups de coeur". Don't worry, we will also tell you if we ever find ourselves in... a putrid dwelling (for our colleagues at work); a s*** hole (for our close friends). :)
Bonne aventure!
We are wrapping up our Oman tour and all I can say is WOW. Oman is THE discovery of the year. With this blog Ania and I wanted you to discover new countries and hear our perspective on things. If we can influence you on your next destination, then your next destination should be Oman.
Oman has it all: stellar hospitality, stellar people, stellar landscapes, and stellar tourist attractions. Oman is a world-class tourist destination that should be on par with the great tourist destinations of France and Australia.
Will you get a chance to make friends in Oman as we did? It depends how you approach Omanis. An open mind is essential, and don’t hesitate to practice your broken Arabic. You’ll be surprised at the kind of reception you get when you greet people with “As-Salamu Alaykum”. Smiles will come from all directions and next thing you know you’ll be invited to a family dinner.
We leave Oman with sadness in our hearts; sadness to leave Mohammed and his family behind, and sadness to say goodbye to all the other Omanis who gave us such a heartfelt “Welcome”.
Oman will remain at the top of our short list of “Must Go Back”. So, dear Omanis, au revoir et à bientôt.
