This evening we spent a couple of hours roaming around the ancient ruins of the Al Baleed Archeological Park which sits on the beach at Salalah. Sunset is a great time to be at this place--for several reasons. First, the sun is going down so it's not as hot as it would be the rest of the day. Second, it's a beautiful time of day at the seaside (of course) and third, they turn on some fun lighting at this time of day which makes the place even more romantic. However, the mosquitoes also come out about this time as well...
A was not particularly pleased to be visiting more ruins, but she perked up when we played several rounds of hide-n-seek in the ruins. Reconstructed pillars provided most of the hiding spots, and it was a bit spooky to be playing in the falling light. This is a neat place.
Mysteriously, however, children under the age of 6 are not allowed in the Museum of Frankincense...
