Hi , i left Oman on the 31st Dec 2022 after 21 years in the middle east all but 18months o it spent in Oman ,it is a lovely country and the people are great .My last place in Oman was Thumrait , you probably went past it on your way towards Salalah .My 2 avourit camp spots you have in this vid Khor Rhori and Fazaya , lovely place to camp .. Thanks :)
Thanks Robert! What a place to live for all that time. We certainly echo your sentiments about the country. We do recognise the name ‘Thumrait’ actually. Never camped at Khor Rhori although have at Fazaya twice now, what a place! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, it’s much appreciated 🙂
Hey, thanks very much for watching and for leaving a great comment! Yeah, we love this style of simple travel so much, it’s just the best to be out there enjoying the landscape 24/7. Glad you liked it, thanks a lot 😃
@@GoingTheWholeHogg look up the story of two South Africans Freedom Flight. Was lucky enough to attend a presentation by Ricky and his slide show included footage from their microlight of the ship graveyard aling the oman coastline… goosebumps…haunting
What a stunningly beautiful country. I didn't know what Oman was like but the contrast between the desert and mountains is breathtaking. Thank you for sharing this. With all that history, one for my bucket list
Wow, what a great video, the costal road from Muscat to Salalah has very nice and quiet beaches, Fazaeh beach of course is the top, it's impressive that you went to many places that even many Omanis don't know about, with most challenging routes like balad siat village and Salama plateau, i really enjoyed it and thanks for sheding a light at Oman's nature.
Like the way you did the match thing at 6:20 Sure seems to be a lot of streams for such a dry country. As usual, beautiful photography. Not sure Oman would be my first choice of vacation destinations, but it looks incredible. I would be too much of a coward to go there. Thank goodness I have you guys to do my travelling for me. Wish you had more subscribers. Cheers
Cheers Mark, appreciate that. Yeah, lots of wadis (kind of canyons/gorges/river valleys) which have intermittent streams depending on the season/rain in the mountains. Definitely not for everyone but the country does also have plenty of hotels, unique stays, luxury desert camps, etc, so there are options. We’re just happy travelling in this style of course 😃
I reckon that if routine life is one piece of prose to almost all the persons, travel that two of you make trips is poetry to me. So, the impression of mine from the delicacy or elegance of adventures of yours lies in the joy of freedom, just like William Hazlitt’s one, a relief ㅡ just like an afterimage that lingers in my dream for a long time from life's heavy obligations each time I enjoy watching yours; I've refreshingly enjoyed yours once more today! In addition, I experience in my own way the majestic or dignified resonance of your travels, the sound of the waves, particularly by Oman beach, and its calm and immense wheel of rising and setting. I CANNOT give ENOUGH gratitude to two of you and simultaneously fabulous video images of yours beyond description! ( From Seoul )
Wow! Absolutely blown away by your own poetic reaction to our film. It’s always a pleasure to read your thoughts and we couldn’t be happier that you enjoy our work so much. A million thanks from us 🙏😃
Lived in Oman for 3 years. Travelled extensively. What a remarkable place. Very hot place with super chill people. Your vlogs bring back fond memories. Thanks
What a great experience that must’ve been Zia, and yes, such a remarkable place. Love that assessment… ‘very hot place with super chill people’ 😃! Happy to have stimulated those fond memories, thanks for watching and getting in touch 🙂
Hi Kim&Derek,I'm Alex! I watched your video 9 months ago,How are you nowdays?I'm glad to watch videos and Happy New Year!I really love to watch traveling videos nowdays!Your videos look cool!I hope you have a great travel! Happy New Year! Alex from tongyeong.
Super excellent, I am planning to do a road trip from KSA to Oman shortly, this will go a long way handy for me. Thanks for sharing your experience. Loved it each and every single second of it.
Glad you enjoyed it, especially as you’re Omani. Thanks! We haven’t produced the details specifically from this trip, but you can find our road trip itineraries based on previous trips (and featuring many of the places in this video) here: www.goingthewholehogg.com/destinations/middle-east/oman/road-trip-itineraries/ We also have written other guides to travelling around Oman: www.goingthewholehogg.com/destinations/middle-east/oman/oman-travel-guides/
Great to hear, thanks very much! That was our third trip to Oman 🇴🇲 and we will definitely be back… can’t recommend it highly enough. Thanks for watching and getting in touch 😃
So far as I am concerned, the wanderings of our soul are equivalent to those of experience. So, that's it; the amount of life is the amount that is filled with experience... (From Seoul)
thank you for such an amazing video about my country Oman 💐. I am glad that you enjoyed your camping trip .. I love camping too.. peaceful .. calmness ..escaping from the daily life 😅
Hey Colin, it certainly is stunning there! No reason why not. We’ve no experience riding motorbikes but we’ve seen others doing just that. If you were planning on riding the rougher tracks, you’d definitely need the right kind of bike, but if you’re experienced then we imagine it would be a lot of fun 😃
Ummm, not at all sure this is somewhere for me. Cannot put my finger on why other than too quiet, not a soul about anywhere. Prefer mountains and more diverse vistas, trees etc.rather than beaches. Its a good thing we all like different places. I love the four corners area of the US Southwest, particularly Utah, Arizona, Colorado , New Mexico, been eight times. Better 30 years ago though.
Indeed it is Martin, many of the things that are not for you appeal to us in this instance. Of course, we also like mountains and trees, etc. Would love to visit that part of the US at some point 😃
You wouldn't be disappointed. Central, Southern Utah is dramatic. You should hike Grand Canyon in Arizona. The North Rim is 1000 feet higher than the South Rim and.... much quieter.
Hi, it really depends on how off-road you want to get. Personally we prefer something with more clearance and proper 4x4 capability (L4 as well as H4) for when the terrain gets tougher (rocky wadis, sand, etc). We’ve found the Toyota Forerunner to be ideal and have spent 2 months driving one in Oman. However, if you plan on sticking to highways and graded tracks then the Duster may be suitable enough.

This country has everything...love the shifting scenes.... beautifully captured guys 👏👏
It really does, thanks Altin! 🙏
The temperature looks just right at that time of year.
It’s perfect, highs of around 30°C, unlike summer when it can be up to 50°C 🥵
One of the most stunning videos I've seen. Wow.
Thank you so much!

Hi guys I'm planning to do a solo road trip for two weeks around Oman. Do you think duster 4x4 is enough to reach the destination
