Burt Travels: Part 2 – Oman 11

In part 1 of this series, I shared my experience traveling to Paris. Today, I shall be talking about my experience visiting Oman, an amazing Middle Eastern country in the Arabian Peninsula.

OMAN

With the most hospitable people on the planet Muscat is without a doubt the cleanest place I have ever been. Not a piece of paper or a scrap of trash to be seen anywhere you look.

Muscat is a place out of the Arabian Nights. My hotel, the Al Bustan, is one of the few six star hotels in the world and deserving of the title. My host, advisor to the Sultan, is as gracious as any person could be. His home, hundreds of acres right on the bay of Oman, is set in a virtual garden of Eden with tiny deer and peacocks wandering freely about.

Sultan Qaboos has arranged for me to travel about the country and a limousine and interpreter are provided for another once in a lifetime adventure.

With the sweet aroma of frankincense everywhere I overstayed my visit by seven days and eventually said a reluctant farewell to still more vivid memories of the private class.

Up next: Holland.
