Dear All, I've been busy doing research for my next post 'Dhofari Celebrities' suggested by one of my blog followers. After reading my post on Omani Paparazzi, the reader wondered who paparazzi would follow in Salalah? Who are our celebrities? Input, anyone?
Tough one. I know many wonderful and smart people from there, not sure one is suitable to be a celebrity :p. Maybe some local fashion designer or magician ;)?
Dhofar is the Southern province in the Sultanate of Oman. Salalah is the capital city of Dhofar (in fact, the only main city). Our little corner of the world is unique in many ways. If you look at the labels at the bottom right of this page and check out some of my older posts, you'll know why. As a Dhofari, I have insider's input. If you read my posts (old and new), you'll begin to appreciate (if not already) the richness of our amazing little world. Salalah is very special, and very different. Tribes, nature, mystery, magic, jinn, you name it. If you're wondering why I'm fluent in English, it's because I spent several years studying abroad. However, I am a Salalah girl through and through. I do not blog as often as I used to because my life is insane, but don't give up on me. I do write. I've been writing for EIGHT years! I have a lot of positive (and rather amusing) things to write about. Many of my posts revolve around women. I do not aim to only criticize the society in Salalah or the way of life. I am proud of who we are and how we live. I only intend to tell it as it is.
