Where On Earth? Week 23: Oman
Well done to moody75 for the winning answer of Oman. To be precise it's standing at the top of the Jebel Shams mountain range loooking into the Wadi Ghul canyon. Wadi Ghul rivals Peru's Colca Canyon and is about as unknown.
It looks incredibly isolated but when you get out of your 4WD you're soon surrounded by local kids eager to sell you rustic woven rugs.
Points off to neil_metblogs for asking why Tiger Woods is wearing a robe? I really thought the good people of Melbourne knew their sports stars better than that.

Ah American bias rears it's ugly head again, the Grand Canyon is not the deepest in the world:

Good call Chris. And please don't put to down to American bias. I'm just a wild colonial boy like yourself.
