Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

While still undiscovered by most Americans, Oman considered one of the friendliest and most peaceful in the Middle East is a favorite escape for jetsetters from London, (prince Harry visited this spring) Dubai and Berlin.

The countrys dramatic fjords, mesmerizing dunes, craggy mountains and pristine beaches make it a thrilling destination worthy of a trek across desert and sea.

Several glamorous new and renovated resort offerings make it more alluring than ever.

Here are a few of its hidden delights.

The pool at The Chedi Muscat.

Begin with a tour of the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, which welcomes (appropriately dressed) visitors of all faiths during morning hours. Its gleaming white marble arches and golden dome house the worlds second largest carpet and chandelier, while its lush gardens provide a peaceful respite from the bustling capital. From there, its off to the Muttrah Souk. This quaint bazaars treasures include silver trinkets, spices, frankincense and kummas (traditional Omani prayer caps).

Then seek oasis at The Chedi (from $525). This impossibly swank resort is polished in Arabic modernist style with a dramatic tented lobby leading to a series of white bungalows, domed gazebos, arched pavilions and reflecting pools, all perfectly aligned in Zen harmony. Posh travelers frolic in the pools (one of which wins the prize for longest pool in the Middle East), indulge in the enormous spa and nibble on bites from one of its six gourmet restaurants, including desserts like the halwa macaroon, made with cardamom, saffron and cloves. For true decadence, check into one of the resorts Club suites, which boast sunken black terrazzo tubs, sitting rooms appointed with low-slung sofas and well-stocked decanters and access to the resorts private lounge.

The next morning, thrill-seekers should book a guide for a hike-slash-swim through the magnificent Wadi Shab.

Pack sturdy shoes and sunblock before tackling the boulders of this ancient riverbed and wading through its natural pools.

Fear, far right among roots of Germany's anti-Islam rallies

- January 13, 2015 by Mr HomeBuilder

GROSSROEHRSDORF, Germany (AP) The 17 North African refugees turned up just before Christmas - and Simon Richter felt nothing to cheer.

The electrician and his friends organized a meeting that sent out a message loud and clear: We don't want the foreigners in our midst. Within days, authorities caved to pressure and moved the young men elsewhere.

Site plan approved for new Pottsboro apartments

- January 13, 2015 by Mr HomeBuilder

POTTSBORO Another step was taken toward Pottsboros newest apartments at the meeting Monday night of the Pottsboro Planning and Zoning Commission. The commission met to approve the site plan for the Abbington Junction apartments, plans which were already approved by the citys fire department, City Secretary Denise Smith said.

There is one hiccup in the plans to which City Manager Kevin Farley alerted the commission: The plats drawn up by the apartment engineer include a driveway entering the apartments from Spur 316 a driveway that has not yet been approved.

Between the architects and maybe the city and TxDOT, there was a miscommunication on the access driveway permit, he said.

Normally the city issues the access permits on Pottsboro highways, but with a project such as this, Farley said that TxDOT and city regulations require a traffic impact analysis to be performed on the proposed driveway.

This survey will be conducted by the engineer and the property owner, Cole Philips Engineering. Farley said he believes a traffic impact analysis will indicate that a turn lane will be necessary, so the exercise will be more of a formality.

Commissioners expressed their appreciation to Farley for keeping them informed before approving the site plans for the Abbington Junction Apartments, paving the way for construction to begin.

The building permit is approved now, but (the entrance needs) a driveway permit; (the engineers) cant build that driveway without that permit, City Secretary Denise Smith said. If they request variance, (that could be approved) by the first of February.

The apartments will be located at 601 Spur 316 and will consist of 56 units at both market-rate and below market-rate rents.
