The QE2 visited Oman several times before her soon to be retirement in Dubai. Here she sits outside the port near Muscat (she also visited Salalah in the south) . Her blue hull I have to say was outshone by the immaculate blue of Britannia when she called into Muscat, the last time when Prince Charles and Princes Diana visited in 1987.
