I am really enjoying the beauty of Oman through your photos. Pretty sparsely populated but scenically beautiful.

Wow! Really nice set - you show the beauty of a dry and arid land.
Thank you sb for your kind comment - there definitely is beauty in them dry lands as well, fantastic for visiting, but I definitely prefer the green environment for living.

Wow....more rugged terrain. Thanks Joe. That had to be scary at times I'll guess. 
Thank you Blair, yes, more rugged terrain, and another such set coming in a short while. There definitely were some white knuckle moments for our driver, and for us passengers, especially when passing cars, of which there were thankfully only a handful. I remember one moment, when we were in a particularly narrow stretch, basically on our way down but it was pretty flat at that spot. Another car came - and the drivers eyed each other for what seemed like many minutes to see who would first flinch and reverse - it was basically our turn as we were headed downhill, but this particular spot was flat. Our driver finally gave in, reversed the car partially up on the slope so that the other car, also partially up on his slope, could pass by ......
