There was nothing unique about this brand of carefully choreographed serenity. Up and down the coast, holidaymakers were idling in the winter sun. Some dozed on sun-loungers; others jumped among the waves ambling in off the Indian Ocean. Only the “salaams” of the feather-footed towel attendants and the biblical hills rising behind the balconied windows betrayed the fact that this was a land ruled by a sultan and fringed by desert sands.

But as the chubby-cheeked child who had precipitated this brush with luxury crawled about on the manicured lawns, there was no use denying it — I was in a five-star resort in Oman, and I was succumbing

Details: Oman

This wasn’t the sort of holiday that I’m used to. I spent a glorious decade traveling in the cheap seats: 10 years of begrimed rucksacks and fleapit hotels, of 18-hour bush-taxi rides and pot noodles on the fly. For all that time, my long-suffering partner, Lucy, had followed my lead as I pursued offbeat adventures on the pretext of story-hunting and more than once made her sleep on a bench.

This time, however, we had the game-changing addition of our baby daughter, Lily, to consider. “You can’t climb mountains with a 6-month-old,” Lucy had said, reminding me, with that inexplicable feminine power of recall, of the numerous occasions amid the postnatal reverie when I’d promised to try soft travel.

Oman, which sits on the toe of the Arabian Peninsula, was a compromise. A safe and stable country that barely flickered during the ferment of the Arab Spring, it promised to be a relaxing place for a first family sojourn. But it also presented the opportunity to explore a relatively new and increasingly popular destination with grand ambitions. The Tourism Ministry’s target of enticing 12 million tourists a year by 2020 would put it in Egypt territory, big dreams for a state of 3 million people that many would struggle to identify on the map.

A holiday here was never going to be cheap. Predictably in a country whose earlier foreign interlopers came for the oil business, it’s the top-end hotels that are blazing the trail. With several of the usual suspects — InterContinental, Grand Hyatt, Crowne Plaza — already here, and more in the pipeline, this is a country that has set up its tourist stall and bedecked it in gold.

But if we were going to be inert for a fortnight, we rationalized, we might as well crack open the piggy bank and do it in style. By treating ourselves to stays in some of the luxurious resorts in and around the capital, Muscat, we’d have all the amenities we could ever need.

PARA FINALIZAR ESTA SESIÓN DEBEMOS RECORDAR QUE NO SIEMPRE LAS TERMINACIONES TENDRÁN EL MISMO SIGNIFICADO. EJEMPLOS:

READ = A READING  = UNA LECTURA

FAMILY = FAMILIA ( A LA PALABRA NO SE LE AGREGÓ LY; LA PALABRA SE ESCRIBE ASÍ).,

BY READING = NO SE TRADUCE = POR LEYENDO SINO: AL LEER

NÓTESE QUE SIN USAR DICCIONARIO, SI EMPEZAMOS A ANALIZAR EL TEXTO (CLARO, SI TENEMOS TIEMPO) LE ENTENDEMOS MÁS.

TODOS ESTOS ELEMENTOS SE DEBEN  APLICAR EN LA LECTURA DE COMPRENSIÓN
