Latest on the Bucket list: Mystical Oman.

This post is Written for the Indiblogger contest sponsored by The Sultanate of Oman.

The glittering city lights don't excite me.
Nor do concrete jungles.
What sets me free..
Is the deep Blue sea.
Nature is a magician.
Don't you agree?
Birds hovering in the sky..
Ripples in dunes ruffled by the breeze..
a spell is cast 
"wadis" enchant..
underwater fauna creates a stunning world
we humans can't.
Spellbinding islands
Mesmerizing forts..
infinite golden sands..
Traditional "dhow" boats.. 
Intricate , ornamented doors
Souks narrating an ancient lore..
The Grand mosque's intriguing beauty at dawn..
Serene beaches and majestic forts beckon..!


Dream Itinerary : Marked in red hearts are some of the places that would compel me to visit Oman.

I have never been to Oman. And as I write this blog post, I am smitten by it. Love is subjective. 
For my Reasons:  Read along.

All the images below are courtesy : Flickr page of OMAN TOURISM.
All the poems alongside are penned by Me:)







































The reasons would go on. This post is incomplete.
It will be truly accomplished when the photos used will not be from Oman tourism's Flickr page , but from my very own Nikon:)
Oman beckons.
 Head to Oman Tourism for falling in love with this hidden Arabian gem.
The research done for this post is enough for me to add this beautiful travel destination to the bucket list of a wanderer, A nature seeker, A Poet inspired by waves, a history lover mesmerized by caves , A photographer with a weakness for ancient, ornamented doors :)
