This was one of the places I really liked in Oman, taken in April 1977. These ruins were just before Nizwa, if I remember correctly.

How I used to love walking along this coastal road and sidewalk in Muttrah (part of greater Muscat), Oman. I wonder how many of these old buildings remain standing today. This photo was taken around 1977.

A scan from an old print of Byblos harbour, in Lebanon, taken on 30th March 1967. Just a very quick visit en route from Qatar to England. Byblos is the ancient city of Phoenicia, on the Mediterranean Sea, near Beirut. Extensive archaeological investigations, begun in 1921, indicate that Byblos is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, with remains of civilizations dating from about 5000 BC. The name Byblos, applied by the Greeks to papyrus, which they imported from Byblos, is the source of the word Bible. Gebal was the biblical name for the city.

A scan of an old photo of a side street in Bahrain. We could only stay one night in Bahrain en route from Qatar to England, but it looked a very interesting place. Taken on 28th March 1967.
