Maria Dekeersmaeker

I was born in Belgium in 1955, and my writings have given me the opportunity to travel throughout Europe and China, resulting in articles in various magazines across Europe, an International Journalism Award in Italy, three travel books, a book on modern Eastern European art and my first novel, The Earth has Fever. My writings also took me to the Sultanate of Oman with the result: a TV documentary, several articles, two blogs al'arba, mariastories and four books: The DNA of Salalah, Dhofar. A Tourist Guide (2011, English), Treasure Chest Salalah-Dhofar (2012, Arabic-English), Whispers of Oman (2015, English), and The Custodians (2022, English).
