And I'm just reading Jan Morris' account of travelling with the 
former Sultan in the mid-1950's. It's an extremely vivid account so 
far, especially his/her description of life at that time in Dhofar 
and Salalah. If only there were photos taken. Does anyone know if 
the original cloth edition did include photographs. Or any other 
sources of photos of the Qara tribesmen she/he descriibes so 
interestingly?
Cheers
