Many people said Oman is beautiful- desert, mountains and seasides. I have not been to the desert(because I have been to too many:P), but mountains and seasides are definitely the highlight of Oman. esp those beautiful Wadi:)
Unfortunately when i arrived Oman, they just had 3 days of flooding rain and all the wadi was flooded. But I had looked through the web photos…..wadi Shab in Oman is amazing! So maybe next times you guys go there, send me some amazing photos so I can be jealous of you:P
But I did went to bimmah sinkhole near Muscat while it’s 38 degree outside. Dying for a swim:)
Yes, If you travel to Dubai and some free time, you can actually take a bus there to Muscat Oman. It took a little bit more than 6 hours but it’s really comfortable. I decided to travel just around muscat because I have been to so many mountains and desert. But if you have never been to any, pls remember Oman is a very big and beautiful country…..you should take more time to travel around!
But traveling around Oman is NOT cheap at all. The cheapest hotel I can found over there is no less than US $45 and it’s low season already! And most people need to travel with cars cus public transportation sucks. I talked to most people who had traveled around Oman told me it cost them US $120/day or more!. I was lucky because a taxi driver took me everywhere for free!!! Thanks to the hospitality of the Omanis 😛
He took me to the Opera house…
Sultan palace…
Through the door of old Muscat….
To Mutrah……a bazaar where you can buy everything……
then around the old city….
to the sandy beach……
then finally to Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque…
So, if you ask me whether Oman worth visiting? I will say yes or no! If you have guts, I suggest you to visit Yemen…it’s better(and I will show you) but Oman is definitely much better than Dubai, Kuwait, Barhain or Qatar:P
Dearest Tammy,
That was for sure a very worthwhile stop and breathtaking architecture. You are so right about becoming over-saturated with dessert after dessert and you don’t want to see more.
Excellent photos.
Hugs to you,
