To mark our one year anniversary in Dubai, my 30th birthday, our one year wedding anniversary, and my parents last weekend in Dubai, we all decided to head down to Muscat for a couple of days of relaxin'.
Unlike Dubai, Muscat has retained much of its Arabic culture and history. This city of about 600,000 is easily the Arabian equivalent of the French Riviera. From streets lined with gardens to the entirely low-rise white-washed buildings, the place has a quiet elegence about it that is unmatched in the region.
It probably also didn't hurt that we stayed at a crazy design hotel called The Chedi ... highly recommended place to hide from the world.
