" The Spirit of man is Nomad, his blood Bedouin.....and so I came to live my life, not by conscious plan, but as someone following the flight of a Bird."

" Only in the Desert, The Bedouin Declared, Could a man a Man find Freedom. " Wilfred Thesiger "Arabian Sands."

" To live in the Dress of The Arabs, Quitted Me of My English Self, and Let me Look at The West ..... With Different Eyes." T. E. Lawrence "The Seven Pillars Of Wisdom."


The Sultanate of Oman is a land of oases,deserts, rolling sands, shifting dunes and mountains upon which ancient cities have been carved from stone. A land that boasts the Queen of Sheba, Sindbad the Sailor and The Lost City of Ubar buried for millennia under the Arabian Sands. A country that was heralded for its wealth in frankincense and it is from here that ancient frankincense caravans began carrying their precious cargoes to the classical world. Oman is a country where the Bedouin still wander the deserts as they have since time immemorial. A mystical land where eagles soar over the mountain that is home ot the prophet Job, a prophet in Judaism, Christianity and Islam.In the mountains nearby live an ancient people whose language predates Aramaic. The age of the language remains a mystery. It is a spoken language with no written form. In these mountains one finds caves that are decorated with prehistoric art. Mines and distinctive cone like tombs dating from the Bronze age feature all over the country. It is a land that has tales of wizardry, magic, jinns and exorcisms. Embark on a magical and mystical Arabian Odyssey with one man and his traveller's tales through this land that time has all but forgot.
