Travel

Travelling is one of my most favorite things! I have been fortunate to go to few countries and cities *Mashallah* around the world and the list is still LONG! Hopefully, I will get to visit more places in the future. For now, I would like to share some pictures and reviews of some of the spots I have been to.

The reviews include some interior design critiques as well

Note: the titles without links are "to be posted" so keep watching this space!

Oman 
 I lived most of my life in Saudi, but every time I travelled I went far away. All the Gulf countries felt very similar, but then I went to Oman and that changed my whole view. It is a very beautiful country and more developed than Saudi, but quieter than the UAE.
