Deze unieke mix van artistiek talent en professioneel inzicht vormt haar onderscheidende literaire stem.

Oman is one of the most beautiful and popular countries in the Middle East, yet a few years ago it was one of the world's backwaters where visitors were discouraged.

This book, first published in 1979, takes the reader around the country, from the rugged Musandam peninsula in the north to the southern province of Dhofar.
