Lumen invites Omani artists to explore the mysteries of light (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some of the sculptures at LUMEN look as though they have arrived carrying secrets. One is built from stones, packed into a square and held together by two weathered bands. It resembles a fragment of an old wall, or something protected before it could fall apart. Another rises in a rough grey column, pierced by hollows. From one angle it resembles a misshapen beehive; from another, a face or a shelter. Nearby, a tall pale form seems almost human, although it never quite settles into a body. At th
The Real Price of a Very Good Fake (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A friend recently introduced me to a pop-up stall in a Muscat mall with an irresistible promise: some of the world’s best fragrances could be copied for a fraction of their price. True enough, among the bottles were scents associated with an ultra-luxury perfume house. I knew immediately that they were not the real thing.

Read excerpt
The entrance could easily be missed. There was no grand visitor centre here, no golf cart waiting and no neat pathway leading into the darkness. This was Al Hoota, but not the Al Hoota most people know. The attraction near Al Hamra is well organised. Visitors follow a lit walkway past an underground lake, blind fish and formations picked out by carefully placed lights. The other side is wilder. Its natural openings lead cavers beyond the public route, through narrow passages, short rope descents
A secret garden for pomegranate season (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hidden between two cliffs on Al Jabal Al Akhdhar, it is not a place one simply finds on Google Maps. From the road above, patches of green can be seen far below, divided into plots belonging to different families. Yet the wadi hides an agricultural world of roses, grapes, mulberries, onions, garlic and, during autumn, some of the finest pomegranates we have tasted. We have known Malik for years. Over time, he became a friend and our go-to guide whenever we wanted to understand Al Jabal Al Akhdha
