Today we're in Salalah. The city's buildings are largely the same colour as the desert, almost blending together in some places. There are mountains providing a backdrop to the city but today they're shrouded in haze. The sand runs into the beaches as it did in much of Western Africa. There are beautiful garden oasis' amid all of the sand. Salalah is the third largest city in the Sultanate of Oman.
We snagged a taxi and had a bit of a private tour, visiting a souk and a large mall, along with a photo stop at the Royal Palace and the largest mosque. We also enjoyed a lovely walk on the beach.
The mall was the last stop before returning to the ship, many of the stores were closed because it is Eid, the end of Ramadan. However, we managed to find a great cup of coffee and the best dessert, a chocolate cake, that I've had so far this trip.
