EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the magical moment when Santa Claus made a surprise appearance in the desert town of Salalah, Oman in 1977. The children, mostly British expatriates, gather around the jolly old man, their eyes wide with wonder and excitement. Santa, dressed in his traditional red suit and white beard, holds a large white bag filled with gifts. The sun-kissed desert landscape serves as an unusual yet beautiful backdrop to this holiday scene. The 1970s, a time of adventure and exploration for many expatriate families in the Middle East, was a period when Westerners sought new opportunities and experiences in the Eastern world. Salalah, with its mild climate and lush greenery, became a popular destination for British families. The annual Christmas celebrations, despite being held in the heart of the desert, were a cherished tradition that brought joy and warmth to the children living there. This photograph is a testament to the enduring spirit of Christmas, which transcends borders and cultures. It captures the essence of the holiday season - love, joy, and the magic of giving. The image of Santa Claus in the desert of Salalah, Oman, is a unique and unforgettable one, reminding us that no matter where we are in the world, the spirit of Christmas can be found in the hearts of those who believe.
