Another excellent set, Joe. I have been on roads similar to that in the Rockies in my younger days.

Thank you very much Ken. Yes, road conditions have definitely improved a lot during our long lifetimes!
Less adventuresome now, but at my age, that is fine with me - but I am glad I experienced the thrills of yesteryear!Jul 31, 2020 14:23:09 #

Hey guys, I lived there for about 8-1/2 years and I practically subsisted on goat and fish we obtained by diving in the Persian Gulf! Goats everywhere?? TG they WERE everywhere because at that tine there were only goats, fish, sometimes fish and camel!!!

Been avidly viewing your preceding Arabian Peninsula sets, and each have their merits. This set, however, tops all the rest. Major kudos, sir!

Thank you very much Jim for your very kind comment. I am very happy that you like the overall series on the Arabian Peninsula and that you particularly enjoy this set. These mountains were definitely one of the major highlights of the trip, but there were so many others, I would have a hard time to say which one I liked best. I am doing here a very lengthy presentation of very different aspects of this interesting country, and of course some aspects will be more interesting or colorful or action-filled than others, but I am trying to convey an overall view of this amazing place. Thank you so much for following this series and taking the time to comment, I very much appreciate it. Joe

Wow....more rugged terrain. Thanks Joe. That had to be scary at times I'll guess.
