'Marhaba'*
I was last in Oman during the period 1975 until April 1977, when I was serving on secondment from the British Army to The Sultan's Armed Forces. I worked in Muaskar al-Murtafa'a, near Seeb, as the Force Clerical Training Instructor. I made many Omani and Baluchi friends during my stay, and have fond recollections of my experiences. My aim now is to revisit Oman as soon as I can, and I am actively seeking to trace at least some of the Omani friends I once knew.
I have added a couple of Travelogues of snapshots taken at various locations. Please have a look before leaving Oman. Thanks.

|  | A Message from my Omani friend Abdallah, on the occasion of Ramadan:
.
"My beloved kins, valuable friends and dear associates,
Ramadan Kareem wa kul a'am wa untum bi alf kheir!
"The people have gathered on their roofs,
to witness the moon of Ramadan,
and a wish flutters in every breast,
to be the first to perform this deed.
And then someone points to the moon,
so thin, so distant; yet clear,
many hands are raised instantly,
with hearts brimming with prayers"
On this blessed and glorious occasion, May Allah bestow on you all his blessings and peace, may find this ramadan time to reflect, atone and enjoy.
Ramadan Kareem,
Abdallah." |
