Instant Salalah

Oman at its finest.

This past long weekend Sarah, Skylar, and I headed out on a road trip to southern Oman. We wanted to check out the much talked about areas surrounding Salalah. Salalah sits on the water near (but not too near) the Yemen border.

The special thing about Salalah is that it experiences a monsoon season. The influx of water changes the landscape to…green! A beautiful color that we don’t see too much of around here. During the summer months the Khareef Festival (Khareef = monsoon in Arabic) is on and visitors arrive from all over.

The promise of green made the lengthy drive there (14 hours) completely worth it.

Here are a few shots from my instax camera:

More green to come!

  1. Hey Jill! Your adventures continue to amaze and inspire us. Mia (now 11), Dylann (now 6), and Robin (now 4) love looking at your pictures with me!

    I want to make a Kiva loan. Can you tell me how to pick a borrower? Do I just go for one that looks nice, or do you have a better suggestion?

    Thanks, and happy trails!
