In Arabic, every word is like a picture. And they say a picture is worth a thousand words. Suwaru Salalah can be roughly translated as 'pictures of Salalah.' The word صور comes from the singular صورة. And this particular word is illustrated by many defintions: illustration, image, likeness, picture, figure, total picture, overall picture, un-distorted picture, pictorial representation, and many more derivatives.


This blog is dedicated to capturing my journey through a two-month Arabic intensive immersion program in Salalah, Oman funded by the Critical Language Scholarship (CLS) of the United States Department of State. In addition to conveying my journey in picture, I intend to highlight distinct words and their meanings, phrases and their usage, Arabic and its beautiful complexity.

I love children. They are content with the least of things and gold and mud are the same in their eyes.
