Dinner, Dance and Music at the Al-Bustan Palace

On my last night in Oman, Margaret and I decided to have dinner at the Al-Bustan Palace, one of the most lavish hotels in Arabia. The hotel hosted a "bedouin dinner" in which we were treated to a feast of traditional Arab foods under bedouin tents, while a troupe of Omani performers sang and danced. Along with these photos, you can listen to the musicians or see them perform.

Enjoying an apple-flavored shisha. The "tobacco" is actually made out of dried fruit. Seriously!
