Finally, the month of Ramadan has come to an end and the celebrations have begun. The Sultan has declared a week's holiday. This time is known as Eid and feels a little bit like Christmas!
There are some fantastic Eid deals to be grabbed, including car sales and holidays. We have just returned from a three night holiday in Salalah, on the south coast of Oman. It's in the tropical region, and at the end of the monsoon season, so it was a lot cooler and greener. The temperature was about 27 degrees and a lot more bearable than the baking hot sun in the north!The drive to the hotel was totally weird because we kept passing camels walking down the dual carriageway taking no notice of any traffic!!!
The palm trees there grow coconuts (We grow dates on palm trees here) and we sampled coconut milk which I have to say is an acquired taste!!!
The hotel was luxurious and we were made to feel very special!!
