Muttrah Corniche

Handsome men and boy with Sultan Qaboos' pleasure yacht in the background. We had a taxi driver who had been a naval officer stationed on the yacht. He said they'd spend months out at sea going to places like Marbella, Spain. The Sultan would fly in and spend some time on the yacht, avoiding all the pirates and other unnessecary evils at sea. Sounds pretty good to me.
