Friday April 11
We'd arranged for Mahmoud our taxi driver to meet us this morning for a 4 hour tour around the various parts of Muscat, and he was there waiting for us. His magical mystery tour took us past the Opera House, the old districts of Muscat, some private beaches and nice parks, the new Parliament complex, a 5 star resort for some Omani coffee and dates (and western toilets), the business district, the Sultans Palace complex and a drive along the corniche beside the harbour.
Everyone was impressed with the people (very friendly and happy), the heritage they've maintained whilst undergoing massive development, and the modern well planned city that's been constructed between the desert and mountains flanked by a lovely coastline.
