In this video we make our first ever visit to Muscat in Oman and let me tell you things did not get off to a good start!
We had a rather uncomfortable experienceon the public transport called Mwasalat and had somewhat of a culture shock when we realised just how different Oman was in comparision to the UAE despite it only being an hour away on a plane!
We show you around the AirBnb that we rented for the day as well as the neighbourhood we stayed in which (you may have guessed if you have watched our channel before) is outside the tourist areas.
We also took this as an opportunity to try camel and that within itself led to a rather difficult situation with our bank.
It was not an easy journey but it is one we will never forget, join us in this adventure through a city built into a desert!

Nice video, public transportation is not very reliable here because most people use their cars "cheap gas + extreme hot weather", thanks for sharing your experience in Muscat, hope you enjoyed it, there is no need to cover your tattoos, no one will get offended it's pretty normal especially for foreigners, hope you come back again, wish you a safe travels wherever you're

27:45 I'm not Omani but I currently live in Oman, I instantly recognized the area you're walking in from the mosque in the background with the lighting, I see a small group of tourists once a month taking a look at it from the outside, it's called "Al Ameen Mosque". Nice video

You will find hotels with that price too. It seems like algubra or alkhwair I guess , but its not bad , you are in a neighbourhood , the omanis are known by thier hospitality and they are very friendly , i wish you enjoyed the country . Peace from Oman

Oman is by far my favourite country, I have never met people so kind, hospitable and caring in my life, the people of Oman are truly incredible. I am determined to visit again one day and see more of Oman, learn more Arabic to have deeper conversations with everyone 🙂

The taxis from the airport are metered and this been implemented years back. I am not sure when was your visit. But, you can request Otaxi or Oman Taxi from the airport. You walked far for the camel meat, while in the building next to your apartment, there is a restaurant called Al Dhafari Taste, it serves camel meat.

Hello my friend, thank you for the information. I found this information online about unmetered taxis so there is a chance it could be outdated now. I originally planned to get the bus as I love traveling with locals and meeting people along the way, but we was removed from the bus by a traffic stop and taken to our apartment directly (I'm still not sure why to be honest haha!) I 100% plan to come back, I loved Oman and the Omani people are incredible, I loved every moment meeting them 🙂 Ohh I wish I had known about the camel meat sooner, we walked for ages to get there but glad we did as that restaurant had the nicest guy ever working there and we spoke a lot about football haha! Thanks for commenting bro, much appreciated! 🙂

Thank you so much for the wonderful comment my brother, Oman was incredible and the people were amazing. I'm truly blessed to have had the opportunity to visit and experience it and plan to return one day as it was a life-changing experience for me. We have never experienced such warmth and hospitality before and are so happy we got to share time and memories with the Omani people 🙂❤️
