 Zammal ('Snake') canyon, in Oman's Wadi Bani Awf |
Multi-lane freeways link the major centres of Oman; however, a 4WD becomes a necessity when you get off the main roads. In particular, the coastal "road" from the ancient boat-building centre of Sur to the capital, Muscat, is like driving over a Himalayan moonscape. In some places you fear that at any minute the crumbling edges will give way and you’ll careen into the ocean, a hundred metres or more below.
