    As a Brit who has visited Oman a few times, its has so much beautiful nature in its deserts, wadis, mountains and canyons an the most friendly/welcoming people you could meet. Crime rate is low to non-existent. You should visit the south near Salalah. amazing beaches, wildlife, swimming with wild dolphins (on you're own at a secluded beach without an extortionate tour company)

Oman is an authentic destination and beautiful country that is clean, safe and friendly people. You must go to the city of Salalah in the summer time one of he most beautiful green havens in the Arabian peninsula. So much to see in Oman from sea life to magnificent mountains that were once under water.

    Oman is very high on my travel wish list. While I wish Ken success with the channel, I secretly don't want too many people to find out about Oman. At least not until after I've visited. I feel like it's incredibly underrated, especially in the south in the Salalah area. I visited Dubai with my wife 2 years ago. I wish we would've gone to Oman instead. I have a short list of travel hidden gems that I only share with family and close friends. Oman is on that list.

    I recommend that people, before coming to Oman, get to know an Omani person who can welcome them upon arrival, show them around the famous spots, and introduce them to the culture. It won’t cost you much, and you’ll enjoy the experience more. It’ll make everything much nicer since you and that person will be having a great time together throughout the trip. 🥹

Their warmth and hospitality beautifully reflect their deep adherence to Islamic values, embodying a true spirit of compassion and generosity. I greatly admire those who follow the teachings of our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), and the people of these nations exemplify his teachings remarkably well.

    Hello Ken, i truly enjoyed your vlog. Im Omani and definitely biased towards Oman .. but im pretty sure everyone would agree that Oman is truly amazing.
    We don’t compare to Dubai, they are considered a metropolitan city whereas we maintain our culture and history.
    Theres much more to do not just in Muscat, you need atleast 10 days.
    Also, Oman is very popular to Germans as most ‘Europeans’ tourists are actually from Germany.
    The picture in the currency is His Majesty Sultan Haithem bin Tarik Al Said - our Sultan ❤❤❤❤ who we adore and love
    Omani Halwa, Shuwa, Mishkak among many dishes are famous, we actually rulled many countires so we learned from their cultures and brought most of them back to Oman (FyI Oman is the only country to ever conquer without bloodshed)
    Im sure whoever will watch this vlog will know or have enjoyed Oman

There is so much more to do and see here, you did well to scratch the surface of what is on offer. If you do come back, let me know, and I can give you some pointers, and if free from work, show you around, I live near the airport which is handy.

    That taxi driver is not registered at the airport and he cannot operate there, thats why his vehicle was parked at the parking lot. If they catch him operating they will fine him.

      I was waiting for the bus to Sur at Muscat airport and literally it was turning into its bay when those unofficial taxi drivers said "there is no bus" 😂 I got my round-trip bus ticket from the office, the man there was impressed how I researched my options, and could speak some Arabic😊 On the way back got off at Bidiyah to go desert camping. Probably the only person to ever arrive to the desert by bus🙃 but can't drive and had no money to throw away as was on a 2 months travel in the region. Quit my good job in Oxford and upped sticks to finally do it. Now back in Oxford and missing Khaleej❤️

    Ken, using an unofficial taxi is not just about exposure to high fare risk, it’s about exposure to “risk” in general from using a random unlicensed vehicle/driver in an unfamiliar country. It shows that even a seasoned traveller like yourself can find themselves getting exposed to such risk. Thankfully on this occasion you had a safe outcome. Take care, cheers.

      i was also taken aback with the unofficial taxi at the start, was worried for him especially and it came unexpeted esp coming from Oman... my first impressions of the country would have been altered after that. But glad that it ended safely.

    Had a layover in Muscat years ago and
    Had a very good impression. Even better impression vs trip to Dubai. Don’t know why more folks don’t visit. FYI, in Dc (Washington Us) there is a very nice Oman cultural center to visit.

    What a nice taste of Oman! Definitely go back and show us more of this fascinating country. The people seem very friendly and easy-going. Do you touch the plane before you board for good luck/safe flight? Will you do a trip to Turkey ( maybe with your father) to explore the Turkish part of your background?

    Traditional omani dishes are shuwa which is the national dish of oman and machboos which is similar to bryani. I recommend you try these if you are still in oman.

    The most important thing is that you are nice as a person
    Borders/countries are manmade concepts and how I view it is all land belongs to God

    And thanks for visiting Oman

    I like Oman and visit every year. My flight arrives in Muscat Airport at 7.15am and at this time passport control is very busy and has a long queue. You can however pay a fee which allows you to go to the fast track passport desk. I find the passport checking process quite slow.
    There is a bus service (A1) from the Airport to Muscat which costs half a rial.
    I think the person on the bank notes when you withdrew cash was the late Sultan Qaboos who was the former Sultan of Oman.
    Oman is a beautiful country and well worth a visit.
