The Chedi Muscat - Plaza

The Chedi Muscat - Seaside Restaurant

Set against a backdrop of magnifice nt mountain scenery on the edge of the Arabian Sea, The Chedi Muscat is a sophisticated, chic resort located on its own private beach. Designed in the style of traditional Omani architecture, modern rooms and private villas feature dark marble floors offset by clean lines, warm lighting and white fabrics. A really spectacular hotel and a pleasure to photograph, especially at sunset. I could have spent hours happily fiddling around with my camera but as there was limited time it turned into a simple but effective general idea of the place. If you’re in the area: make sure to visit!

Lately, I’ve been getting quite a few request for hi-res images from the Dhow sailing boats that I captured along the Tanzanian coast in 2004. So, I figured it was time to make a decent posting about these incredible sailing ships that transport cargo and people over the rough seas of the Indian Ocean. At the end of this post there is a slideshow with decent captions about the Dhows, Zanzibar, Dolhpin watching and Stonetown. Enjoy!
