Nizwa Souk Spices:
You have nice friends who come visit you. They lived in UAE (United Arab Emirates) a year ago, and they feel a certain nostalgia for the climate, ambience, lemon mint, hospitality, practice of the Arabic language ... They organize themselves at the weekend that you will spend together. So far, so good. You're just lying to 3 o'clock in the morning, after attempting to store the remains of the fiesta in their honor, combining clothing local people of the Gulf, and expats Sortables (those who are happy to be there whatever!)
So you leave with 2 cars to Nizwa. You know the route by heart, you are moved 35 times in 8 months in Nizwa. (See there , there , or to ,) arriving there, you continue to the pretty village of al MISFAT Abriyyin and then you loose your trusty steed.
noise of tractor, first jump to a garage, you will leave triumphant and come back 20 minutes later, same noise, less patience. After a repair
longer this time you can only do 3 miles. Meanwhile, friends have gone to MISFAT your eldest son who has visited 3 times with you, and once with his class. Later you learn that you should NEVER go through Nizwa town inhabited by djinn (yes, like in the cartoon by Michel Ocelot's "Azur et Asmar). Too bad, you've been warned. (This may be why after 5 days in the garage there, the car is still not repaired)

asked to drink a coffee at one that Omani we know well, we take the opportunity to rent a car, let him who is our tractor from the garage, and we try to communicate with the wife who does not really speak English ...
little glimpse of good taste:
I blurred my face because I found this function today, have a blast! (Plus I have a happy bewilderment of the village, once again the djinn). Up there, I'm sitting on the "couches" in the ladies' lounge. (The male is furnished with a Louis XV lounge foil gilded wood, petit point, and pillows with fringes in brown crushed velvet with gold son in the frame ... mioum!)
closer Admire the staircase:
I have a preference for dating photo montage of a few years ago . Photoshop has a future, j'vous assured!
Express Dinner and overnight at the hotel Al Diyar.
Souk memories, then spice bazaar:
We reprennons road to Al Ayn, on the border between Oman and the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
Loose End of the first day.
The next morning, a small tower at the Nizwa souk. The souk animal friends have promised to place on Friday, it is Thursday ... then one goat Pea
then we wander in the Souk vegetables
