Crossing the Great Gravel Desert

 Crossing the Great Gravel Desert  

We left Nizwa and were soon heading south through the desert. And there was nothing to see.

And nothing to see all day.

We had to pull off the oad to let a wide load pass....

...a side view of the load...

We turnd off the road to bush camp on the beach. There was a ship, wrecked on the beach.

It in the morning, I went bird watching as the sun rose.

A lark, one o the few birds that stood still long enough to get a photo.

We stopped at Wadi Dawkah where there is a frankincense forest.

Frankincense is the dried sap of the tree used as a perfume, to scent clothes or a room. A single tree can produce ten kilograms during the season.
