Tourists from all over the world pay up to $ 360 a night there. A day pass into the national Parks costs 40 […]
Foreword: As with all my trips, there is motivation, lots of curiosity, a focus and of course a certain amount of longing which attracts me. But with just as much interest and enthusiasm, I plunge into the historical, cultural and economic facts of the country in search of the best sources. Although my focus during this […]
After a hundred and fifty days north of the Arctic Circle, I long for light and warmth now, it’s mid-May, and spring came with an immense boost.

Distinctive mountains like the Schafberg (1783 m), southwest of the lake, or Höllengebirge (1862 m), southeast...
Fascinating, moving and an oriental mixture of ‘Thousand and One Nights’ (by Alfred E. Green) with modern times… were our first impressions and experiences in Muscat, the Sultanate of Oman.
