Up in the dark again and took a flight to muscat, the capital city of Oman. It was an uneventful 50 minute flight. We landed and took a mini bus to the Oman flour mill. At the mills, we had a very robust discussion with head miller on quality of western Australian wheat. The feedback was mixed but useful. The presentation was made to the millers with a big photo of Australia and Australian wheat field.
We did a quick tour the souk (old market), with many bargains made - hats included. This was followed by a lovely lunch with the staff of the Omani mill.
As the sun slowly started to set over desert sands, we flew back to Dubai to host a dinner with WA Trade Office Dubai - toasts and appreciation was made to Pankaj and Deepti, and the staff.
We had the opportunity to wear the traditional Arab head gear - see the photos attached to this eventful day!
An early night for an early morning tomorrow!
