It's almost an anomaly, the rose harvest in Oman. Instead of a scorched, levelled habitat, I found verdant terraces of rose bushes, freckled with pink blooms.
The rose growers are also farmers who grow crops such as garlic, onion and fruits including pomegranate. Many do not own land, but lease it from others
Only pink roses are grown and harvested in this northern region of the country
The journey helped me discover an area of the country that previously only heard of. "Even though my interaction with the rose growers and their families was limited, I wished I spoke their language to understand their lives better.
