Tanuf

As you may have noticed, the entries in this blog appear in order of last entry is top of the page. As a result the sequence is best viewed from the last article first for each date.
I can't write backwards until I learn arabic.

Tanuf is a small village these days but legend has it that back in the seventies it was a centre for the insurgents waging war on the sultanate.
When the current sultan deposed his father, rumour has it that a leaflet drop occurred at Tanuf advising all to leave the village before dawn the next day or die.
At dawn, rumour has it that British bombers levelled the village. War over.
It is not something that is talked about over here.
Nice place to visit though.
