Wow! Will you take a look at this? This is the Dhow Palace, an Omani Sultan's home from the 1800's that has been turned into a 16 room hotel and this is where Nicole & I will be staying for 3 nights in January! The rooms are furnished with Zanzibarian antiques and each room has a balcony that overlooks the courtyard and pool. It's only $90 US a night (for the both of us) and breakfast is included. I don't think I have ever stayed anywhere quite this exotic and I am pretty excited about it!
