      Just about this time the Semites were moving from their homeland in the Syro-Arabian desert into the Near East in two directions. They moved eastward into the Mesopotamian and westward into the Canaanite zones. Here you had this mashing together of two unlike cultures, and if you want to know what it might have been like to live in one of these little towns in those days, just read the story of Jacob and his twelve sons invading Sechem. There was a dust cloud on the horizon-was it a sandstorm or was it a bunch of Bedouins coming? It happened to be Bedouins . . . and the next morning everybody in the city was dead. These were terrific times when these two worlds were coming together.

    Thank you for sharing Oman!!! I live in Muscat during winter season. My first time visited Oman was back in 2008, since 2022 I become resident in Oman by buying a property. I would say the magic of Oman is its people. Also, I do not see people change much since 2008. They are still super nice and more opened minded now

There are others you can choose from , most of them go to the same places, just depends how much time you have in the day ! Hope you have an amazing time , Oman is a beautiful country !

    Is it legal to wear swimsuit or bikini in public?

    • @Kristinahouwer
      @Kristinahouwer  4 месяца назад

      It’s legal but frowned upon unless you’re at the beach. When I was at the beach it was totally fine but as soon as I crossed the road to a nearby cafe in my swimsuit and shorts, I definitely got a few surprised looks. No one said anything though and it also depends what beach you’re on - if it’s only tourists then you’ll be okay but if it’s mostly locals it might be better to keep swimsuit for beach only and just throw on a linen shirt or dress over it for other places

Исключение может быть для людей с двойным гражданством или для предателей РФ, но я почти всех их знаю. Поэтому буду добавлять песни на русском языке по необходимости.
