I have no doubt that my most recent birthday, celebrated earlier in the month, will become my most memorable. First, my mother and a close family friend traveled to Oman and surprised me with a birthday visit. I'm still in disbelief that they made the trip. Then, we celebrated my actual birthday in southwest Oman in a region called the Sharqiya sands. This area of several hundred square miles is covered with sand dunes. Some dunes are over 200 feet high. In the middle of the dunes, miles away from any cities, towns, or roads is a camp where one can stay. We spent two days at the camp - climbing the dunes, basking in the sun, and marveling at the solitude.
Press play on the above video and see our adventure unfold.
