As an executive of the Huntsman Cancer Foundation, my friend (and illustrator of A Christmas Carol) Paige Peterson often travels to the Mideast. And as a board member of the National Council on U.S.-Arab Relations, she recenty went to Oman. Her article and her photos describe lovely architecture, great landscape, friendly people, a smart leader. And her final paragraph — “The United Nations economic and social council, during an annual review published in November, 2016, announced that that the Sultan of Oman was the best leader in the world. It’s not a sentence that you expect to read in a piece about the Arabian Peninsula, but Oman is one happy place”— will make you think this is a Destination.
