A touch of Culture!

I get on really well with a lady, called Jane, who knows Oman really well , and she has helped me a lot. Last weekend we went to the most prestigious hotel, called the Al Bastan Palace, for an evening of Spanish dancing, music and song. The whole experience was simply stunning and a few days ago we went to the wonderful Bait Muzna Art Gallery, to the private view of Nja Mahdaoui. His work is absolutely stunning and although he was born in Tunisia and studied in Italy and France, he is influenced by Arabic calligraphy. Amazing work! I absolutely loved it! He has work is all over the world, including the British Museum, and we had the pleasure of meeting him. He even gave us a personalised print!! He couldn't speak a word of English and his daughter became our translator! His website is www.nja-mahdaoui.com  How lucky I felt!
