Invasion Part 2

Salalah is CRAZY. Traffic is insane. It's been raining everyday. Mud everywhere. Tourists everywhere. 94, 713 tourists arrived last week. NINETY FOUR FRIGGIN THOUSAND. (Reminder: Salalah is a SMALL town).

I'm moving to Alaska.

  1. I am sorry - but this post cracked me up. And I haven't stopped giggling. I hope you get your town back soon. I loved my visit to Salalah - quite a few years ago. Time for another I think. But I'll wait till you get rid of the tourists.

  4. Uhhhh, this really turns my off and as a local I too would be frustrated. Crowds, cars and traffic jams instead of lovely wadis, inviting beaches and beautiful historical sites? Is that what I would get to see if I came to visit Salalalh at the end of October with Eid al-adha coming up?
