When visitors share their photos from #oman it’s often the grand places that are showcased. What I’m gonna miss the most are the small places; the not quite perfect places. This countryside mosque, with a coffee shop next door and a couple of friendly people outside? Perhaps that’s the difference between visiting for a long weekend and staying for a long time.

“The Tropic of Cancer is an imaginary line in the northern hemisphere where the sun is directly overhead on June 21” (Oman Observer). I have driven past this sign not too far from Al Amerat so many times and finally managed to pull over and take a photo. I guess sometimes it takes knowing you won’t come back to make it happen huh? #tropicofcancer #tropicofcanceroman

To all you fluent Arabic-English readers out there: what has been lost in translation?? Driving up the coast road passing one sleepy village after the other we spotted this. We can’t work it out - combining our skills the kids and I have tried to read the Arabic but our vocabulary isn’t good enough. Please help? #multilingual #raisingmultilingualkids #learningarabic #signs

Nothing beats starting the day like this. I have recently been reminded that life is not to be taken for granted and I try so hard to really be present instead of being everywhere, but it’s not easy - especially in the middle of a move! Two days off the grid was amazing😉#oman #sunrise #camping #offthegrid #moving

You don’t see #clouds like this often in the #desert !

Swipe for more pictures! Time has come for us to leave #Oman and, in an attempt to say good bye to places we’ve loved, we planned a ‘last road trip’. Wahiba Sands, I am going to miss you more than you know. The calm and serene morning moments watching the world turn pink, absolutely, but also the lazy afternoon hours watching crazy, fun-loving dune racers try to tame you. There is no desert where I’m going, but I’ll bring you with me in my heart, always.
