I loved your comment about the honesty you witnessed. I had a similar experience in Saudi Arabia. I was travelling with my grandmother, and she paid for something, but left without taking her change. The shop clerk, after realising, ran out looking for her in a busy mall in order to give her change back. My grandmother and I were shocked. The change was such a small amount. Not worth looking for someone over. But it was important to the man because that money did not belong to him.

Also, about the musk cube, crush it until it turns into a liquid-y paste and then put it in an unscented lotion for example and then you'll have a musk scented lotion (at least that's how I do it)

I grew up in Dubai and took many trips to Oman over the years. The Middle East is such an incredible place and the people are just beautiful. I live in Canada now but my heart belongs to the UAE. ❤ One thing I would recommend is doing a driving tour around the different Emirates and make your way over to Oman by vehicle. There are many hidden gems in the lesser known emirates. 🇦🇪❤

For your information, not all the indians, pakistanis, bangladeshis and turkish people that live in Oman are poor bud. I would say that most of the south asian folks that live in Oman are living a pretty fulfilled life there. Tbh it was pretty XENOPHOBIC of you to bluntly say something extremely rude about a whole section of Asia. Oman is thriving bruv and the immigrants are part of the reason why Oman is the beautiful, rich, CLEAN and industrial country it is today. Check yourself next time before you blatantly spew such hurtful things about people and places. Such disgusting and racist behaviour is never appreciated by folks around the world. I hope you have a nice day in your 'rich' country, :)

I salute you from Algeria. Oman is a very discreet country, I mean, we hear about Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iraq, Iran in the middle-east, but rarely Oman. A friend told me Oman is like a mid-eastern Switzerland: they stay away from conflicts, they dont have major enemies, they don't engage in foreign politics and are open to visitors and businesspeople. It's nice to see a country in that region being calm and away from all the fuss and chaos taking place. Thanks for the video.

Hey, I'm glad you had such a fun time in Oman! In terms of how to use the musk, people usually put it in a small cloth or muslin bag and put that in either drawers, closets, suitcases and it will make your clothes smell great! Musk also comes in liquid form which people use as perfume or deodorant.

I never visit the same places for a second time in a row, I prefer hopping from one place to another when going abroad. But if anyone wants to ever travel to the Middle East, especially westerners from Europe or North America, Oman is the place to go. Amazing: People, culture and hospitality is what I received, I met a lot of people who I wouldn’t even consider talking to back home. I felt like a new person after visiting, it honestly took my breath away. Oman is honestly the best country I’ve visited.
