Anyway, here's a few tempters to get you all excited about the Oman posts I'm about to pop up (when I have time to scratch the proverbial). This is Jebel Shams and the Omani Grand Canyon - the second largest canyon in the world.
Take the drive in the early afternoon, see the top of the mountain and the bottom of the valley as the shadows begin to creep across it, then watch the sun paint the mountains as it comes down the incline with you. Quite spectacular, I must say.
