More on Jebel Hafeet - September 7, 2009

I just wanted to share a few more photos of Jebel Hafeet. It was a really neat drive going up the mountain, and sometimes the pictures just don't do it justice. But you try anyway.

The first one is an outcrop while driving up the mountain. The rock was neat because you could see the bands of sediment and there were even bands of the reddish color of rock. The kids found a few really neat ones with multicolour bands of beige, red and yellow. We even found some fossils, which was cool.

The next picture was taken in Oman. It was neat the way they cut through the rock for the road. The kids thought that it was cool that there were these steps.

And finally, a picture of our hotel at sunset. The entrance way into it was neat because from the road you have to drive down to it. The really cool thing is that in the hotel lobby they have actual living walls. There were only five floors to the hotel but on the top floor they had flower boxes full of vine plants that grew right to the ground floor. On that note.... Good Night!
