About me…


Ross-HaydenRoss Hayden: I lived in the Middle East for 12 years, 8 of them in the south Arabian city of Salalah, regional capital of Dhofar in the Sultanate of Oman. It was an exciting few years exploring ancient ruins or enjoying beautiful scenery with local friends – who still keep in touch.

Living in Oman is so different to my native New Zealand, and I think that is part of the appeal of the place.

One of the elements I am most inspired by in my photography is heritage and culture. For example, in Oman, mudbrick houses have mostly been abandoned in favour of new ones made of cement. This provides wonderful opportunities for the photographer to view and browse and record before they pass completely.

  1. Dear Rosmee , got on your website through facebook . Looks like you know the region !

    Can you advise us ( 2 families with kids ) where we could camp in Salalah . Not to disturb others and destroy nature …. we are looking for something green , with water if possible but quiet. Since we are 4 ladies we do not like to be ‘ visited’ by curious youngsters …
    We will take day trips from our camp site. Is this possible ?
    We will drive down from Muscat .

    Would love to get some advice .

    thanks

  2. “High In The Dhofar Mountains” is such a beautiful poem, brings me back to my first Khareefs in Salalah….have enjoyed to let my thoughts wonder about at that time. The mist and the green mountains remind me of my hometown.

    Thank you for this poem. Its been nice to have known someone so reflective and thoughtful, and its not just your pictures, but the way you have described that moment. It has captured what its really like to be in the Dhofar Mountains.

    Keep writing:)
