Muscat is my favorite place in the Middle East, even on a very hot day like the one where I snapped this photo from my hotel room. The air was a bit smoggy-looking but not from pollution. Instead, it was dusty sand drifting in from the desert region. I only got to spend about 48 hours in town on this visit, but it was enough to visit my good friends and make some plans for future meetings.

Dammam / Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia
Dammam, Saudi Arabia in June was hot (125 F / 51.5 C) during the day and the sky was filled with sand and soot, smelling of oil. The traffic was not too bad at the moment I took this shot, but there are some very unsafe drivers who speed recklessly. I saw three serious looking accidents in three days, probably caused by someone speeding.
