After 4 days and 3 nights in Oman, tell the truth, real life is different from what you think
This trip to Oman is an exploration of the mysterious country of the Middle East. It all started by chance, a friend's invitation to set foot in this ancient and mysterious land. However, when I actually stepped into the land of Oman, I found that the country was far deeper and richer than I had imagined.
First of all, I was amazed by the natural beauty of Oman. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, I chose to head to the Wahaba Desert, deep in the desert. Standing on the top of the sand dunes, it is as if you have seen an endless golden world, and the sand particles shimmer under the sun, as if thousands of stars are blinking. And when night falls, the starry sky contrasts with the silence of the desert and makes me feel the grandeur and beauty of nature.
During my contemplative journey in the Wahaba Desert, I became acquainted with a local herdsman named Khalid. Khalid lives in a hut deep in the desert where his family has lived for generations, living in isolation but freedom. He told me that deserts are not lonely, but full of living ecosystems. Under his guidance, I learned how plants survive in the desert, and listened to him tell the rich stories contained in the desert, and I felt that there is much more to nature than meets the eye.
Next, I set foot in another secret place in Oman – the ancient town of Mutrah. This ancient town is like a tunnel in time, carrying a rich history and culture. The narrow alleys are curved, and the ancient stone houses are arranged one after another, and each stone tells the story of the years. In Mutrah, I met an ancient jeweller named Abdullah. Abdullah is over 70 years old, but his craft is still perfect. He told me that he had been collecting these gems since he was younger, and that each one had its own legend. Through his narration, I saw the charm of this ancient town, where each stone is a carrier of a story, connecting the past and the present.
In the waters of Oman, I explored the marine world of Muscat. The underwater world near the beach is rich and varied, with colorful corals and schools of dancing fish forming a beautiful underwater picture. In this blue sea, I met a diver named Lena. Lena told me that the underwater world is her second home, where she finds inner peace and freedom. Under her guidance, I dived deep to the bottom of the sea, feeling the tranquility and mystery brought by the vastness of the sea.
During this adventure in Oman, I truly felt the diversity and richness of life. This country is not only the desolation of the desert, the vicissitudes of the ancient towns, but also the vastness of the ocean. I am even more inspired by the harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
Perhaps, when we stand on someone else's land, we can truly appreciate the diversity and uniqueness of this land. In every corner of Oman, there is a story that belongs to this land. And I also found the beauty and meaning of life in these stories.
