We arrived at Salalah yesterday evening. The coast is mountainous desert but
the port looks like a modern, well run place with a big busy container
terminal. And there is me thinking it would be just a couple of Bedouin
tents and a few camels. The available cruising guides for the area are a tad
out of date.
Everyone seems scarily very helpful and laid-back. Also everyone seems to be
called Mohammed. We just got the keys for a hire car from a Mr Fix-it called
Mohammed without doing any paperwork. We're off to see Customs and
Immigration now which is always a good test of a country's character.
