Best regards from far, 
Magnificent shots! The sunset photo is simply amazing!
Thanks Len 🙂 It was a very inspiring trip!
Very beautiful pictures. I love them. They really make you want to discover this beautiful country.
Thanks! Happy you are getting inspired 🙂
Thanks for your share!
Great job with pictures. Some of them I took too but didn’t know you can see the Al-Alam palace from the side.
Thanks! There is a very quiet road taking you around the palace from where you see it from the back, and this way you get a better idea of the Sultan’s view from his apartments. Not a bad one!
