I think it is survival of the fittest when it comes to children – some of them do seem to be like mountain goats when it comes to running over the rocks and paths.
It is – but very isolated and they have only recently been given electricity (at great expense !) so a hard life.
Getting them to move is impossible, then again when families have been there for about a thousand years and the existing ones at least 300 years, I am not surprised.

Don’t get me started on that – some enterprising group has just convinced Oman that they should have windmills for electrical generation. They have vast open areas of desert !!!!!! & sun for nearly 365 days a year go figure as they say.

I like this. It looks like they took advantage of nature to build themselves a fort.
I would not like going for a walk at night ……!

And to think that when we purchased our home my one non-negotiable was a flat, fenced in yard so our kids could run and play… yikes!

They certainly did and only two access points; down into the gorge or over the top via a narrow path, unseen in this image but comes in from the left.
