I was so struck by the beauty of this valley. Much of Oman seems almost mythic.
Ibrahim fellows don’t shy away from challenging themselves physically.
Our guide told us they used Wadi Rum to film “The Martian.” I can understand why. Because of my background, I often felt like I was somewhere extra terrestrial on Ibrahim; places I would have never dreamed of visiting people I couldn’t imagine meeting, and doing things outside my comfort zone. I can say therefore I am a little like Matt Damon.
