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.

Nice to see that you used my pho­tos to illus­trate your story (and with the pho­tos being avail­able through the Cre­ative Com­mons license you can use these pho­tos, and oth­ers, freely).

Would have loved to visit the gar­den you describe — with my camera.

Hi Burt,

It’s won­der­ful to know you’ve been to the Mid­dle East. I’ve been and worked in Kuwait for a short while, and the expe­ri­ences I took home with me was mixed. I have felt the beauty and have seen the won­der­ful side of this land. I could still remem­ber the huge full moon from the bal­cony where I lived. I could remem­ber the smell of the sand… and the pain of the heat. Then I could also remem­ber locals who are absolutely won­der­ful, and some who live in fear and man­i­fest that fear.

Here’s pray­ing that every­one will live and act not from fear but from love. And this is where you, Laura, Chris and every­one from your cir­cle come in. To spread the love. Thank you.

Bet­ter and better–

Irene

Hi Burt
Nice to know that you loved stay­ing in Oman. This is the coun­try where I grew up. Although I am not a native to Oman, I have been here since I was an infant because my father worked here. Now I am set­tled in UAE, but Oman is one coun­try that is excel­lent when it comes to hos­pi­tal­ity, roads and cleanliness.

Regards

Ameena

Hi Burt,
Well I live in the Mid­dle East, Israel to be pre­cice but I have also vis­ited Jor­dan and Egypt. I love the feel­ing I get in these coun­tries, the won­der­ful sights and the spir­i­tu­al­ity to be found every­where. Here in Israel I vol­un­teer for Peace­ful Co-Existence and part of our meet­ings is a med­i­ta­tion ses­sion. I hope some­day the love I have in my heart for this area will help bring about a true Peace.
Thank you for your guid­ance and great exam­ple.
Love light and laugh­ter,
Lucie

Dear Burt
Would you like to visit some friends above the Polar Cir­cle? Harstad — in the North­ern part of Nor­way. You will be my guest — and I will be glad to arrange a meet­ing­place for also other friends in my net­work. I noticed that there are about 90 here in Harstad that have vis­ited your lessons. Trav­el­ling: — to Oslo — than Evenes (Harstad-Narvik) air­port with http://www.sas.no or http://www.norwegian.no . ;)
Best regards

Hi Burt,

I lived most of my life in UAE. A coun­try shar­ing a bor­der with Oman. Its like 4 hours away by car.

Make sure you go to a place called “Salalah”

I heard its some of the most beau­ti­ful veg­a­tion scenery you will see.

I trav­elled by bicy­cle from UAE to the bor­der of Oman to raise money and aware­ness for a char­ity (Trachoma).

Your trip sounds excit­ing. Would love to read a blog post about your expe­ri­ence there.

As always, videos and pic­tures are welcome.

Peace

Your brother

Koorosh

What a won­der­ful story, Burt — thanks for shar­ing. You make it seem like a visit to Oman is a mar­vel­lous expe­ri­ence. I am very happy for you.

All the best,

    Burt Goldman My name is Burt Gold­man. I’m one of those “lucky peo­ple” who dis­cov­ered a secret early in life. For the last 50 years, I have been trav­el­ing the world and meet­ing and study­ing spir­i­tual mas­ters from every inch of our planet. Now, at the age of 82, I’m ready to share with the world what I have learned. I started this blog to be able to share with you my most valu­able teach­ings and insights I have gained over the past few decades. Here, you’ll find plenty of valu­able infor­ma­tion on med­i­ta­tion, energy heal­ing, spir­i­tu­al­ity, and my lat­est rev­e­la­tion, Quan­tum Jump­ing. I look for­ward to con­nect­ing with you and I sin­cerely hope you enjoy being a part of this blog.
