Branching out

This week: Baobab tree in Salalah, Sultanate of Oman

When we were in Salalah earlier this year we weren’t very lucky with the weather. A sand storm went through the area just before we got there and the dust stayed up in the air the whole time we were there.Â This makesÂ Salalah one of the many places on my list whereÂ I would love to go back to. But enough complaining about the weather. This particular photograph is of a baobab tree and Salalah must be one of the few places (if not the only one!) in the Middle East where these trees grow.
