Michael Jackson fell in love with Oman, a desert
and rugged mountainous Gulf sultanate where he "felt safe," spending a month
and a half in 2006, according to an Omani businessman.
"Michael Jackson had come here for a visit of three days, which he extended to
45 days," Anis al-Zadjali told AFP.
Zadjali, who works in tourism, said that Jackson, who visited the country
secretly with his children, was "touched by the love and the generous
hospitality he found in the sultanate."
"A lot of people visited him and took pictures with him, but nobody took
advantage of his fame as they did not publish those pictures in the media,
which made him feel safe in Oman."
The businessman said Jackson spent most of his time with the Zadjali family,
despite staying at a hotel, and that he frequently visited the traditional souk
of Mutrah, where he bought souvenirs.
He said «We were eating lunch together and become part of our family, I felt
very comfortable here and told us a lot about his life and how to treat people
with him here», and children, Michael Jackson said Zadjali «One day, told us
Michael for his children and he wanted to be able to gain with the same passion
that he gained here, and wants to bring them to Oman , and embraced them when
they arrived and told them when they were in the car (hello you in your home, O
my children) »
Zadjali talks about organizing a concert for the children of two families and
when her sisters made a cake with the name of michael's children, and drawing
upon the Jackson face of the star, he says «I feel free to Oman», and «then
overflowed with kind Michael tears, and said (I want to stay here)».
He also noted the businessman to the emergence of a strong relationship between
Jackson and his sister's son Talal, a young man was fond of Jackson and mimics
the dance moves brilliantly, according to Zadjali, «Talal collapsed when he
heard the news of the death, as well as the whole family».
Personal and Jackson, said Zadjali « He was compassionate and loving father to
his sons have been used to teach them new things most of the time», stressing
that it is incredibly «all the rumors circulating in the media», referring to
charges of child molestation.
The Omani businessman that Jackson «was reading was much we gave him books on
the heritage of Oman and the architectural art, crafts and music there, one day
he called me at seven in the morning to ask me about the different dynasties in
Oman, forts and history».
He «was open and loving people. It also has a lot of people visited and took
pictures with him, but no one has ever used his name in something, where they
do not publish these images in the media, and this is what made him feel safe
in Oman ».
He said «I love Oman because the people treated him as a normal, was happy to
stay here».
