Trip to Wadi Uboul

Uboul ..what a wonderful place to visit!..no word can describe the beauty in there..
Uboul located almost in Oman..a little farther mahdah..the Emirates Natural History Group made a trip to there..
I really enjoyed so much..
i will leave with the pictures..i hope you like them..
Nothing but great history..


just no more than WOW..
witness for life..
The little lovely fort..
General view of the Uboul oasis
The oasis waiting for us...

General View from the oasis in Uboul
Jar for putting a very nice and fresh water to drink..i like it so much

So delicious

This how some of the people climb the tree for getting mango's..i like that idea

Mango's everywhere ( yamy yamy)..lol
Although its old , but lots of secrets inside it..

Gecko's

Gecko's Egg ( they always put them on the wall) , not on the ground

The Mosque from outside

Inside the mosque..you might wonder what is written in there , on your write hand ( no god but god and ) , on your left hand (( some words from the Quran ( the islamic bible))) , (if you cant see god , he sees you) and arabic date ( the hijri date) it says that its being built from 42 ( i think) years ago..but we are almost sure its older than that..in the middle ( this is called al mehrab , where the prayer stand and lead the pray)
General view of Uboul
A general view of the fort

Even its dark..but still lighting inside
Palm Trees

Your photos are fantastic Amer, I love the oasis and the history behind them. Never been to this one- glad to see that someone else is intrigued by the history of the buildings as i also feel that buildings are living and hold so many secrets. would be wonderful if walls could tell a tale. Love your black and white pic the most

Your photos are wonderful. This wadi looks very green and beautiful in these pictures. I didn't know about mango trees in UAE! Must be really nice to get away from city life once in a while and visit these places.
