Sand Storm

Muscat has seen no blue skies for the last couple of days due to a very persistent sand storm blowing over Muscat and places of the Gulf further north, apparently from Saudi Arabia. If it weren't for all the dust in the air I would be tempted to say that it is a refreshing break from the heat and bright sun. However breathing in dust isn't a comforting thought, nor a comforting experience and asthma sufferers are probably better off staying in doors! Apparently a number of flights have been cancelled. Lets hope the forecasters are right and it'll all be cleared by the weekend!
