January 14th to 30th 2009 This trip is split into two parts. Firstly three days were spent 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 organized 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 villages we walked around the area searching for evidence of the Arabian Leopard and other animals.
