OmanPride: British singer Sami Yusuf amazed by Oman

Muscat: British singer and songwriter Sami Yusuf, who was touring the Sultanate, has praised the people of Oman for their “gracious hospitality”.
“A huge thanks to the beautiful people of Oman for the gracious hospitality afforded to me during my stay,” the musician said on his Facebook page.
Yusuf arrived in Oman last Sunday, later posting pictures of major tourist attractions in Al Dakhiliya governorate.
On his twitter account, the British composer uploaded images of himself at the top of Al Jabal Al Akhdar.
“This place is just surreal and I strongly recommend everyone to visit. Absolutely beautiful,” he wrote, commenting on the image.
“Thank you, Alila Jabal Akhdar, for the extraordinary experience and amazing hospitality,” the 35-year-old added.
“Special thanks to the Ministry of Tourism for allowing me to witness some of the most celestial scenery I have ever seen! God bless and preserve Oman and her people. I cannot wait to come back soon! With love. _sy,” the musician posted.
In 2003, Sami released his first album, “Al-Mu`allim”, at the age of 23. Sami calls his genre of music “Spiritique”. His seventh album, “Barakah”, was released in February 2016.
Appointed by the United Nations as both the World’s Global Ambassador Against Hunger and the promoter of World Peace and Harmony, Sami’s largest concert was in Istanbul, where he performed before over 250,000 people.
He also composed and arranged music for the film “1001 Inventions and the World of Ibn Al Havthan”.
