The Sultanate of Oman is a land of oases,deserts, rolling sands, shifting dunes and mountains upon which ancient cities have been carved from stone. A land that boasts the Queen of Sheba, Sindbad the Sailor and The Lost City of Ubar buried for millennia under the Arabian Sands. A country that was heralded for its wealth in frankincense and it is from here that ancient frankincense caravans began carrying their precious cargoes to the classical world. Oman is a country where the Bedouin still wander the deserts as they have since time immemorial. A mystical land where eagles soar over the mountain that is home ot the prophet Job, a prophet in Judaism, Christianity and Islam.In the mountains nearby live an ancient people whose language predates Aramaic. The age of the language remains a mystery. It is a spoken language with no written form. In these mountains one finds caves that are decorated with prehistoric art. Mines and distinctive cone like tombs dating from the Bronze age feature all over the country. It is a land that has tales of wizardry, magic, jinns and exorcisms. Embark on a magical and mystical Arabian Odyssey with one man and his traveller's tales through this land that time has all but forgot.

A month after the September 11th attacks, the somewhat skeptical author, ex-paratrooper, teacher and smart-aleck, decides to take a job teaching English in the Sultanate of Oman to, "...show at least some of the people in the Middle East that not all Americans are war-mongers." In spite of the warnings of friends, family and the U.S. State Department, the author arrives in Oman to find the country is nothing that he (nor anyone) had imagined. He finds himself teaching students in a small town who are completely different than any students he has ever taught before. He also finds himself alone as an American and quickly he becomes immersed in a culture whose people are the friendliest he has ever seen.He soon meets and falls in love with an Indian girl who lives two hundred miles away in Muscat. Her parents are rich and extremely conservative Hindus who will never accept their daughter being married to a "ghora" (white American). In spite of the odds against them, he drives two hundred miles every weekend, just to be with her. Together, they visit the many exotic locations Oman has to offer, from beautiful white sand beaches, to towering mountains. His unawareness of the vast differences between his own culture and the cultures he finds himself within gives him an insight to the world that most Americans (and Europeans) don't ever have. His sense of humor and his writing style make this and Another Year in Oman two of the best books you will ever read.

In the second of a three book series describing his life in the Middle East after the tragic events of September 11th, 2001, the author finds he is alone again in the remote regions of Arabia. Rather inadvertently,the author becomes even further immersed in the Arab and Muslim culture of the Sultanate of Oman.Through his experiences, the author is able to describe to the casual reader the roles of women, especially their limitations and value in Arab and Muslim society. Through a number of sometimes humorous and other times, tragically pathetic schemes to maintain a sense of belonging in a world where he doesn’t really belong in the first place, the author finds himself in the middle of a surrealistic liaison that no one can be sure is real, not even him! To make matters worse, the U.S. is gearing up for an invasion of Iraq to the north and everyone is looking at him (the only American in the region) with even greater suspicion. He also finds that there are a number of Iraqis who cannot wait for the U.S. to invade and free them from the tyranny of Saddam Hussein. He finds that in a world of lies, deceit and hatred, there are still people, specifically the people of Oman, who are kind and caring and who have come to consider him a part of their family... ...But is it real, or is it just a dream?

Kindle version of our illustrated travel guide will take you to Dubai, one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates. It is rather like an independent city-state and is the most modern and progressive emirate in the UAE, developing at an unbelievable pace in the tourist and trade sectors especially. Dubai is essentially a desert city with superb infrastructure, liberal policies (by regional standards), that became popular for its excellent tourist amenities. Just 5 hours from Europe and 3 hours from most parts of the Middle East, the Near East, and the subcontinent of India, Dubai makes a great short break for shopping, partying, sunbathing, fine dining, sporting events, and even a few sinful pleasures. It is a city of superlatives: for the fastest, biggest, tallest, largest and highest, Dubai is the destination. It also has the largest immigrant population in the world. Finding Internet access when out and about can be problematic so carry your mobile guidebook in the palm of your hand. We include a fully linked Table of Contents and internally to access context-specific information quickly and easily when offline. Many web links are included as well for additional information.

About one tenth of the total population- 317.300 people (source: Ministry of information 2010, Oman 2010-2011, Social Indicators 2009) - live concentrated in the Dhofar governorate in the south of the Sultanate of Oman on the eastern border with Yemen. Dhofar accounts for one third of the land surface. Salalah is the administrative capital and the second largest city of the country.Like DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a blueprint of living beings, ‘The DNA of Salalah - Dhofar' tells particular stories about the past, the present and the future. And as Islam is the blueprint for the daily actions in the Sultanate, every chapter opens with reflections on some important concepts of Islam followed by a Sūrah of the Holy Qur'an. As DNA contains information and influences most of the characteristics of living beings, every chapter in the guidebook contains a ‘main theme,’ a so-called cliffhanger. The particular information expressed in ‘Essentials’ can be interesting for new discoveries or for further explorations. The references to other publications and websites are the tools. The DNA of Salalah, Dhofar is not only available as an E-Book and Book-on-Demand but also in printed editions. Updates and news will constantly be available through blogs and via the website: www.bluedawnmedias.com. Marhaba, Welcome, in Salalah, Dhofar.
