I know this is a very typical view overlooking part of the city of Muscat. Scanned from an old photo taken around 1977. I see from photos that the Sultan's palace is much more colourful now! I would imagine that the whole area must be far more built up, too.

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.
