Corniche entrance way
Yet another view along the Muttrah Corniche in Oman. These beautiful old buildings overlook Muttrah harbour. For those of you who are familiar with Thor Heyerdahl, the Norwegian explorer famed for his 1947 Kon-Tiki raft, we were lucky enough to see his reed boat, Tigris, moored in Muttrah harbour (1977 or early 1978). "On April 3, 1978, after their five-month-4,200-mile-oceanic voyage, Thor Heyerdahl and his 10-man crew burned their reed ship in protest of the wars raging in the Middle East." Scanned from an old photo taken around 1977.
