Check out the following for some great journalism and personal stories about life and work in the Middle East/Gulf and Sub Continent. The Oman section is a refreshing mix of stories from all over Oman with some depth into the Dhofar.

Pinaki was responsible for Oman2day running stories of Oman which were not 'Muscat-centric'. In his role as editor/journalist/photographer, Pinaki created an anthology of Oman stories which are unparalleled in energy, honesty and appreciation/respect for the human condition. Be sure to check all sections of the Oman anthology...a wealth of insight and just plain useful information about Life in Oman from the Empty Quarter near the Yemeni border to Musandum and all between. Pinaki's experiences in the desert between Oman and Yemen, where borders shift with the sands and allegiances more tribal than national, are suspenseful and dramatic. Iran and its people are also a highlight.

Must reading for any 'culture traveller'.

Sorry my mistake the link at the bottom of the home page is functional. Wonderful collection!

As I put on the other thread on the Oman board... I can't get into the photo galleries... again. I did get in once, but not again. That website is full of problems.
