Our week at work was pretty typical: teach, meetings, cover for missing teachers, ... We ended this week at the pool of the Crowne Plaza (again). The sunset was pretty amazing.
On Friday, we drove to Berkat Al Mouz (about 150 km from Muscat), then had a driver take us up the Jabal Akhdar mountain, aka Green Mountain (you can only travel on the mountain in a 4X4) to
Alila Resort, which is located on the edge of a canyon, at over 2000 meters above sea level. We spent one night and came back home on Saturday. Our stay was amazing. It is a high end resort and we were treated really well. The scenery was very impressive, the decor stunning and the buildings blended so well with the mountain. The place is great for relaxation as it is very quiet since there is nothing else around on that part of the mountain.
