We started with one guide in Muscat in a small bus for 14 people and then
went into the camping portion in several 4x4's for the desert and dune
bashing activities. The one on the left - Pedro - is Indian and was our
cook that made several types of curry for us nightly. The others were our
lead Khalid (right side) and the two drivers - one of which - Mohammed -
was nuts and drove in a very exciting way that added an Indiana Jones
element to the trip.
Khalid is an amazing guide with insight not only into the region but the
culture. We heard stories of arranged marriages, unwed mothers, and how
Oman is fairly neutral with all governments.
This has opened our eyes to a whole new world beyond the typical tourist
traps.
