It is hot! We arrived here in Oman after a short 45 minute flight from Dubai. We had special services that met at the Dubai airport and whisked us through check-in and immigration. Then we met by special devices in Oman and while we waited in a comfortable lounge, she got our visas and we walked right through a very long immigration line. Our Omani escorts met us and brought us another special place....the Al Husn at the shangra-la. This is a hotel with in a hotel and it is beautiful
. No one under 18 is allowed and it has it's on very private beach with all ther service you could want.

We spent a morning at the private beach and it wasn't too bad for heat. The have nice sun beds with large awnings over them and we had a light breeze. The beach is also one where there are turtle nests and they are marked so you don't step in them. They are hatching now, usually in the very early mornings. The water was great as well.

While nit totally inclusive, they have Lots of nice extras like the mini bar is complimentary except for hard liquor. They have tea at 3:45pm and a complimentary
Hour at 6-7:00pm

We have a full day tour tomorrow to see an oasis and date planation with a local lunch.

We are even more spoiled than in the Voyager. If that is possible.
