027: Audio Postcard al Hashman

Nestled at the entrance to the world's largest contiguous sand desert, al Hashman is a calm oasis in an inhospitable neighborhood. To your east and west your neighbors sit 70 kilometers away. North of you flows a sea of angry red sand. Those who are crazy enough to venture into that sea should hope to find the Saudi border before being shot at.

Al Hashman is fascinating place. At first glance you wonder, "why would anyone live here?" However, look deeper and you'll realize al Hashman is more than a dusty outpost.

Audio Postcard – al Hashman

I'm trying out this new audio postcard format on the Sultanate. Do you like it?

Surely, this formant will not stay forever, but let me know if you like it or not in the comments. Also, let me know if al Hashman sound like a place you want to explore.

Be sure to tell a friend and tell me what you like in the comments at www.beyondtheroute.com. You can also leave the show a review on iTunes. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you.
