This is all about my experience of understanding Muscat, the capital city of Oman, struggling with the weather and the best part... meeting the Locals of Muscat. This video was shot in October 2021 in Muscat, the capital of Oman.

ABOUT ME
I'm Varun.
I am a full-time traveller now (yes, I quit my job to follow my dreams). I love solo travelling & meeting people. After travelling extensively in Incredible India for years, I stepped out of my country and realised, how beautiful the world is! I started making travel web series in Hindi full of travel tips and tricks, especially for budget travel and sustainable tourism. My dream is to inspire people to explore this beautiful world and learn the best things to make our world a better place to live in. I was awarded the prestigious 'National Tourism Award' by the Government of India for my contributions in the field of promotion of Tourism. Thanks to my viewers, I now get invitations from across the globe to visit their places and show them to the world.

Hi! I'm from Oman and I've been following you for a while. It was lovely seeing you visit our country. I would like to give you some tips for your next visit to Oman or any other GCC countries. I would really suggest that you have a local or a resident of that country with you, there are a lot of tourist guides available too, you just need contact them before coming to the country. The public transport system is not advanced compared to other countries. Also make sure the road has a pull over lane when you ask for a lift or a ride, cars won't stop in the middle of the road since it's risky and they could face a fine. You can't tour the country on foot, it's literally impossible even during the winters, there are two main reasons for that: first - the tourist attractions or even ordinary malls and restaurants are quite far away from one another, you will definitely need a car. Second - the traffic is rough and the cars are fast, I would not advise any tourists to walk by the road, safety first. We will be more than happy to host you for your next visit to Oman. You can reply to this comment, so we can get in touch. Oman is a beautiful country with a lot to offer to tourist and travellers 🇴🇲

05:21 Yes, "isim" means name in Turkish. "Ad" is used in modern Turkish, but "isim" from old Ottoman period is also very common. Examples: "What is your name" = "ismin ne?" or "Adın ne?" / "My name is Selçuk" = "Benim adım Selçuk" or "Benim ismim Selçuk" "Do you know someone by this name?" = "Bu isimde birisini tanıyor musunuz?"

Mistake No. 1 Muscat is KNOWN for its heat and high temperatures - if you were having in mind that you will walk all over the place like it's Shimla...!!! Mistake No. 2 Instead of trying to pinch pennies you should have ideally hired a car service that would have organized a sightseeing trip for you and saved you from dehydrating yourself. Mistake No. 3 Hitch Hiking does NOT happen anywhere on the road - firstly road rules in Muscat are SUPER STRICT and cars get heavily fined if they stop on the main road - there are designated places where it is legal for them to slow down and stop. Mistake No. 4. You missed out on Sultan Qaboos Mosque, the Wahiba Sands, AMazing Malls and Hyper Markets, Royal Opera House, Grand Mosque Muscat, Matrah Souq, and many food joints which most people would have loved to see! Love most of your videos. Hope you have a better experience next time. I too was taken aback by the heat initially - so I can relate.

Dear Varun, it's illegal to offer lifts to people on the highway or anywhere in Oman. Only the taxis or licensed transport companies are allowed to offer trips or any sort of pick up and drop. That is the reason , no one dares to stop for you as the fine is about OMR200, equivalent to INR40000. Omanis are generally very helpful , but obeying govt rule is more important, and that is the reason people were not stopping for you. And the govt and police is very vigilant that anyone not obeying the rules are caught immediately
