Bedouins, camels and sand – this is what a desert landscape usually looks like. It is similar in Oman, but next to nomads, there are astronauts in spacesuits walking on the sandy land. Scientists decided to take advantage of the similarity between the local landscape and Mars and located makeshift experimental stations in the middle of the vast desert. The presence of researchers started to influence the local community and space has become something within one’s reach, also for two young girls wearing hijabs.
