Due to the additional public holidays on November 27 and 28 following National Day, our tour group had to alter its itinerary—but this change allowed us to witness the celebrations in Nizwa. From my hotel room in the Old Town, I looked directly out at the back of a giant teddy bear gazing westward into the sky. The bear was perched on the roof of a café; when I looked for it from the street below, I found that—viewed from that angle—it didn't look nearly as impressive as it had from the hotel room, with its panoramic view toward the horizon. The highlight came at the end of the festivities—on Friday, shortly after sunset—when an endless stream of balloons rose into the sky directly in front of the bear’s face.
