Muscat is the capital city and was made to what it is today by the late Sultan Qaboos.
Qaboos not only loved the culture of Bavaria, causing him to build a house in Garmish Partenkirchen south of Munich, building an opera with excellent accoustics, giving the Mosques towers like the church towers in Bavaria and building himself a Disney style kitch castle, but also launched an incredible development program for the whole country, uniting warring parties, building roads and telecommunication and amazingly organised that everyone has water via a huge network of blue trucks transporting water to the smallest village in the country, no matter how difficult to get there.
Before we left on our trip, we decided that we would celebrate "half time" of our trip by visiting the opera in Muscat, so we packed the proper clothing, and transported it 20.000kms.
Alas, there was no opera program!
But we did enjoy a lunch at the "Crowne Plaza" WITH ALCHOHOL!
Not having drunk for months, the effect was immediate! So we lay down at the pool for a sleep.
Now, that's luxury!Les mer
