I love this! I too grew up in Oman through the late 70s, 80s, 90s and left there in 2005. I long to return. That piece of rock is beautiful. Like you, Oman will always be home for me. I read your article on Oman and Mars a few months ago when my sister shared it with me. That was a truly fascinating read.
Thank you so much for reading and your kind words, Serene! I am so excited to hear that you too lived in Oman and it will always be home…Oman truly has that effect on whoever lives there❤️And I am so honored that your sister shared that piece with you…a big thank you to her and so happy to know it resonated!
Yess, it's a gorgeous rock. Interestingly, speaking of Sarah, after my Oman is Mars piece came out in The Common, several people mentioned and connected me to Sarah. I am diving into this piece now given that I am feeling so nostalgic for Oman (when am I not?!)

Small world of writers!
You write so beautifully! I can relate so well. Lived in Kuwait for 35 years, and now back in India!
Thank you so much for reading and your kind words, Deepa! Always glad to meet fellow Gulfies…hope you’re settling back well
