One week road trip around Oman 🇴🇲 The PERFECT trip?

In this travel vlog we visit Muscat and it's mosque. We swim with turtles at Al-Daymaniyat Islands. We hired a car and drove to Bimmah Sinkhole and
Wadi Shab & Wadi Bani khalid. We spend a night in the desert and walk Oman's answer to the Grand Canyon in Jebel Shams.
Hotel in Muscat where we also hired car: lanavilla-oman.com/
Thanks to Luke, Katie and Chris for the turtle footage (My camera dead, RIP)

    Great video...got here after seeing your Jordan video. I was already planning my Jordan trip but now I want to go to Oman too. Also tip on the phone: saltwater doesn't dry completely so the phone thinks there is still moisture. If you have a waterproof phone you just need to wash the salt off and let it dry.

    Thank you. Yes, Oman is just as amazing as Jordan. In fact it probably has more to offer but Petra and Wadi Rum are incredible so well worth going to Jordan for those places alone. Thanks for the tip about the phone. Thankfully I had phone insurance so got it replaced. Just gutted I lost the turtle footage.

    I would book tbh as they get booked up pretty quickly and the port is a bit of a drive out of town. Having said that I think we booked a day in advance. The owner of our hotel rang them company up to see if there was availability on the boat and luckily for us there was.

    Hi there. Thanks for watching :) No issues with driving to any of the wadis. The only procarious drive we had was up to Jebal but we manged it and the car was fine plus we were in a brand new hire car and there not a scratch. It's just a bit steep and there was no tarmac. I wouldn't suggest trying to get a lift up as that was just some guy trying his luck to make a buck or 2....I wouldnt have fully trusted that plus you'd have to find your own way back too when coming back down the mountain.

    How long did you spend in Wadi Shab? We have a spare afternoon layover and were wondering if we could fit it in from Muscat.

  • @WestGoesEast

    @WestGoesEast

    5 ай бұрын

    We arrived in the afternoon but could have spent the whole day there as its so nice. It felt a bit rushed for us. It's about a 2 hour drive from Muscat , a 5 minute boat ride across the river and then probs about a 45 min walk through the canyon until you reach the water. So it is doable if you have a car but you maybe pushed for time. Plus I think the last boat across the river is at 7pm (but cant remember for sure)? There is the Bimmah Sinkhole which is a bit closer to Muscat which is pretty cool. Not as nice as Wadi Shab though. Hope that helps?

    Hey, I didn't take my drone? Are there any drone shots in the vid? I wouldn't risk tbh as you'll likely have it taken away at the airport but I guess you never know if you wanna try. I did meet a guy at the sink hole who had one but he had driven it through from Dubai. I've got the same issue for an upcoming trip to Senegal where it's not allowed. Bit of a bugger!
