This morning we heard that the Sultan Qaboos of Oman passed away. He was ill, so it was not a big surprise, however people are very sad.
There will be a 3 day mourning period. Schools, offices etc will be closed. My kids return to school and my husband will return on Wednesday.
The weather added to the sadness as it was a dark and rainy day. According to the statistics Oman has only 3 rainy days each year. This was the first one in 2020, but the 7th since we arrived in August.
