The Grand Mosque, Muscat, Oman

This is one of the most beautiful Mosques I have ever seen, so here are some pictures

I find the picture of this arch soothing - a bit crazy, no?
The opulent chandelier inside the central dome

Petra, Jordan - to celebrate being named one of the New 7 Wonders

Our 'Indian Jones Moment' (albeit after our day at Petra as I was too overawed to take a good shot when we came through so took this one as we were leaving!)

My first ever attempt at Photoshop - there were lots of annoying tourists on the sand in the bottom right hand corner - how dare they ;)

Omani Fort, Bousher, Muscat

If you like shopping Dubai or Abu Dhabi are the places to go, but if you want friendly locals, amazing landscapes and a vibrant culture - go to Oman.
