Phespirit goes to Oman
Hajar Mountains     July 1999

MOUNTAIN APPROACH

A short way beyond the Omani security checkpoint on the open border with the United Arab Emirates .....

This stony approach to the first wadi of the Hajar Mountains sets the standard for road quality throughout.

MOUNTAIN POOL

Aaahh ..... beautiful.

Secluded, cool and deep - the perfect spot for a leisurely swim amongst the mountain toads and fishes.

MOUNTAIN PASS

That's some bad shirt Phespirit's wearing, but it adds a little colour to an otherwise barren backdrop.

Here the gravel road rolls through the highest peaks on the route.
