Jebel Shams |
Last week an Omani told me that he wanted to build a new home with a great big yard. "To host the moon and the stars at night." My gosh Oman. You are great.
Here are two more great things about Oman: the Jebel Shams Balcony Walk and Misfat Village.
The Balcony Walk is just what it sounds like - a thin ledge that leads you around Oman's "Grand Canyon." A small village is tucked into the rocks as the canyon horseshoes. Had the spit scared out of me a time or two.

Clearly, we were owning that ridiculous adventure stance |
Misfat is a lovely mountain village with a functioning falaj system.
