While I am on the topic of palm trees, I will share one last image from my recent trip to Salalah, this time of this beautiful monument dedicated to the Chinese navigator Zheng He, who lived during the Ming Dynasty and visited Oman four times during that time.
The monument was designed by the Beijing Institute of Architectural Design and although I am not sure if the design took into consideration the palm trees behind it, it fits incredibly well within that spot.
