This trip was split into two parts. Firstly I spent three days travelling from Muscat up to Jebel Shams to view the amazing landscapes and visit several castles. The second part became one of my best trips not necessarily for the content but because of the many friends I met there. The visit to the south of Oman and into the Dhofar region was made to try to find evidence of the Arabian Leopard in that area. The expedition was organised by Biosphere Expeditions. The group consisted of a leader, a scientist, support team and 12 volunteers. Based in a restricted area of Oman many kilometers from any habitation we walked around the area searching for evidence of the Arabian Leopard and other animals.
Some of the photographs were taken by members of the Biosphere Expedition Team.
