Stunning photos (as usual) to another interesting place. I hadn't given Muscat much thought before but seems like a really interesting and beautiful place to visit. Great report DanielW!

Thanks, Bretteee, I guess the article works then

Cheers, macdonaldj2, only a short trip but good to explore a new city.
Thank you, themapelligroup, hopefully a few more trips/TR's before the end of this year.
Thanks, sfoactuary, a bit different from my normal trips, but was good to try a new angle.
Many thanks, Burj.
Thank you, shogunate03. Yes, quite a different vibe than the other Gulf cities. Definitely worth checking out.
Cheers, steveman518.
Thanks, FIRSTclstraveller. Yes, some very friendly people and beautiful architecture.
Many thanks, agp423, was a great weekend away to see a new city.

. Yes, definitely have to add Oman to your list. Looks like GHM have a great hotel in Muscat too.

. I used a Canon 5D3 with the 50L, 16-35L II & 70-200L II lenses.. The writer I was working with visited the previous month, so I went to the places she had selected to write about.

Your photography is gorgeous! Kudos on your talent and skill.
Most who see professional-caliber photos have NO idea what it takes.
But damn you: now I have to go back through each of your prior trip reports. Binge-FTing...

DaneilW,
Thanks for another great report. Always enjoy reading your adventure while you’re doing your job as a photo journalist. Great photos.
BTW, the food at First Bite looked fab! Did you get to taste some?

!. I didn't get to try the dishes, I'm guessing there's some kind of unofficial rule for that when photographing food. I did get to try the lemon-mint drink at Kargeen cafe and take a few goodies home from 'Love at first bite' and from Salma's Chocolates though:

Given the quality of your pictures, I'm not surprised to find you shooting pictures for a magazine. I really liked the picture of the Al Bahr Restaurant that they chose for the cover showing camels on the beach. Were the camels part of the set up? And the lemon mint drink looked delicious.
