Khor Rori (Samharam)

Salalah, Oman 
Thursday, December 27, 2012

After a morning of obligatory sand castle building, we piled into the car and took a drive east to Khor Rori which was supposedly once the most important port in the frankincense trade. The ruins are restored but the vistas are magnificent: camels grazing, the ocean in the near distance. You might try coming not (as we did) at the heat of the day. Otherwise, like us, you'll scurry from patch of shade to shade. Lots of nice birds, too...
