“The Frankfurter Travel” invites adventure seekers to explore exotic Oman. This fascinating Arabian Gulf destination offers rich culture, breathtaking desert landscapes and beautiful coastlines. With The Frankfurter Travel, travelers have the opportunity to experience Oman’s treasures up close, from the historic souks of Muscat to the impressive desert dunes of Wahiba Sands.
The frame that explains the country fastest comes from the air: a palm grove reaching to the foot of the mountains, white new-build houses inside it, the mud-brick ruins of the old village on the slope, and behind them the red-brown folded strata of the Hajar range.
Two eras in one picture, and the whole feature hangs on it: Oman tells itself through that contrast rather than through dunes alone.
Midday light is no reason to stop as long as the subject has structure. Vertical light takes everything from a face and nothing from a rock edge — so the subjects of a trip like this sort themselves by hour: people early and late, geology in the middle of the day.
