Adventures in Asia: Wadi Bani Khalid, Oman

A night in the desert is lovely but for many people, ourselves included, after several hours one has had enough of the sand! We left Sharqiya Sands and less than an hour later we were at Wadi Bani Khalid. The lovely pools were quite a contrast to the dry sand dunes!
