My first trip to the top of Jebel Al Akthar, a mountain in Oman, 2000 meter above sea level, was made unforgettable by the friendly approched of my dear brother Khalid Al Raqqady of Oman Sharing Tours. His warn and respectful care took me by the hand to the 2000 meter of increassed happiness. This dear brother walked with us like our shadow in the Niswa Souk, Fort and ancient village Barkat Al Moos, explainning each of them very clearly, in very good English. He helped us choose delicious dishes in the hill top of resturant. I have been experiencing the brotherhood of Omanies towards Indians with great pleasure for the past two and a half years.
