  • In this video, I will show how you to best see Oman on a road trip. I do not call it the ultimate itinerary for a self-guided camping trip for no reason. We have gone through numerous Oman guide books and blogs and eventually turned all this information into this itinerary for 12 days.
    We start in Oman's capital Muscat where you will see the Mutrah Fort, the corniche, the Old City Gate, the Mutrah Souq, the Sultan's Palace and the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque. From there we will begin the Oman road trip. First stop is the Hawiyyat Nadschm, a surreal meteorite crater. Then the Oman road trip leads into the mountains where you should visit the Madschlis al-Jinn, a 170-meter-deep hole in the ground, followed by Wadi Shab and Wadi Tiwi.
    Next destination is the town of Sur and small villages along the coast of Oman. We then make our way to Masirah Island where we climb the island's highest mountain, Jebel Humr.
    The next destinations are the Old Town and the Souq in Ibra as well as gorgeous Wadi Bani Khalid. From there, we continue into the Sharquiya Sands Desert before exploring the Al-Hoota Cave.
    Our Oman trip then leads through Wadi Ghul and up Oman's highest mountain Jebel Shams, before visiting the Tanuf ruins and the animal market in Nizwa.
    An adventurous off-road track leads us back to the coast where we visit the fish market of Barka before heading back to Muscat.
    We rented our car through idrive4x4 (unpaid partnership) and were very happy with them. All details here:

    Hi, If im planning to visit Oman and i dont have a driving license, are the public transport accessible?

    • @MarcoBuch
      @MarcoBuch  2 роки тому

      Hi there, I believe that taking busses is possible almost everywhere. But I am not entirely sure. Have you thought about bringing a friend with a driver's license? Driving independently will give you the best experience!

    There are few local women visible in your shots, which I guess we all know how that comes. How do the local men react to foreign tourists wearing bikinis and short pants? I understand Oman is more "liberal" by southern Arab standards but did you have any issues with sexism?

      No, we had no problems whatsoever. Everybody was very friendly, but we also made sure we were not crossing any cultural lines.
