    Thank you for sharing Oman!!! I live in Muscat during winter season. My first time visited Oman was back in 2008, since 2022 I become resident in Oman by buying a property. I would say the magic of Oman is its people. Also, I do not see people change much since 2008. They are still super nice and more opened minded now

      Thanks so much for subscribing , means a lot ! The excursion was through Tripadvisor and it was called Daymaniyat Islands Snorkeling Half Day Tour, it was around 150$ from what I recall. There are others you can choose from , most of them go to the same places, just depends how much time you have in the day ! Hope you have an amazing time , Oman is a beautiful country !

    Is it legal to wear swimsuit or bikini in public?

    • @Kristinahouwer
      @Kristinahouwer  2 місяці тому

      It’s legal but frowned upon unless you’re at the beach. When I was at the beach it was totally fine but as soon as I crossed the road to a nearby cafe in my swimsuit and shorts, I definitely got a few surprised looks. No one said anything though and it also depends what beach you’re on - if it’s only tourists then you’ll be okay but if it’s mostly locals it might be better to keep swimsuit for beach only and just throw on a linen shirt or dress over it for other places
