I am an omani person who like your videos , and I am from Nizwa . the answer of your question at 11:50 is that people try many kind of Halwa and then they chose the kind what they like it and buy it .
I visited Nizwa fort 24 years ago n even then it was amazing. I really loved it. Oman is amazing and would love to visit again. Love & respect from Bangladesh.
How neat! The fort and castle recently went through a massive restoration, so we can only imagine what it would have looked like 24 years ago. And we imagine Nizwa's probably grown quite a bit since then. We're glad the beautiful mountains and date palms have stayed the same 😍
We'll believe Eric nailed not letting the goat out of the bag! 🤣 Oman seems like such an amazing country and while not on our original list of countries to visit, once travel is ok again, we will have to add it!
@@AimlesslyDrifting you should visit jebel akthar and salalah its an amazing place btw im not an omani but im living here i visted so many times its an amazing place in oman
This was one of our BEST days yet in Oman yet. Was that fort crazy or what?? BTW If you’re ever wondering where we get our music, it’s all from Epidemic Sound! Get 30 days FREE access to their HUGE music library ~~> bit.ly/tea-music
Could you do a video listing your favourite countries, places and cheapest places to travel? Once this is all over I'm going to travel but am looking for ideas. I only speak english, basic French and can read slight amounts of Dutch, German and Spanish.
We saw you guys at that little coffe shop by Nizwa Fort and I couldn´t believe it. It was really nice talking to you, Allison! You are really kind and sweet. We are really enjoing watching your Oman adventures, it is like experiencing our trip there all over again! Thanks, Anna from Italy PS I hope you found the toilet ;)
Hi Anna! It was great chatting with you two! 😁 I can't believe it's already been two months since we were there. 😮 Hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip in Oman and are staying safe and healthy in Italy! And sadly, I wandered all over the Souq, but never found the toilet. 😭Luckily the fort had plenty 👍
Nizwa is such a cool place. We drove from muscat via nizwa then on to Al Ain. Such great memories. It was like our version of driving Route 66! One day I will go back and relive it all.
So happy to see more Oman 🇴🇲 episodes! We just visited Beehive Tombs in Al Ain, UAE. I wonder if they’re some how related to the same ancient tribes? I really hope our family travels take us back to Oman before we leave the UAE in June.
I lived in Nizwa for four months while I was in Oman! So this video made me so happy to see!! Also the stuff you tried wasn’t my favorite either, all of my local friends always gave me some as a gift along with dates! The dates are the best and so is the coffee!
I love this series! It's interesting! Turkish have their own halva but it looks completely different (it's creamy, with strong sesame flavor), while the halves you had in Oman seems to be like Turkish cevizli sucuk!
@@desireedcosta5520 I'm not quite sure that's totally correct, or maybe in different regions we call it differently... We call it خبز يابس، Khubz Yabis which means Dry Bread my home town is an hour away from Nizwa
Mahmood Al-Rashdi How interesting. I’ve never heard it called Khubz Yabis until today. I know that the names Khubz Ragag and Khubz Rakhal are often used as I always order them. I researched which term was more popular/widely used before posting my prior comment and proceeded with the latter. Thanks for making me learn something new today.
I love your channel and really like when you visit castles like this and the ones in Germany. The bee hive tombs were so cool. Just think, you were standing at the same tombs people did over 4000 yrs ago, now that's amazing..
It was definitely surreal standing at the tombs. Especially since the area is relatively undeveloped, it really felt like you were potentially seeing what people for thousands of years might have seen. Visiting ancient structures/sites is definitely one of our favorite parts of our travels too! 😍
My husband and I didn’t realize you guys did a video with Kara and Nate and we got so stinkin excited we went all the way back and watched all the videos! 😂😂 the bread thing the lady made you looked epic! I can’t wait to travel again!!
I must say, you guys have made me a believer. Traveling is the way to go. ✈️ 🚊 🛳 ⠀ The Middle East is definitely on my bucket list. 🐫 🌵 ⠀ I love this video. I can imagine how rich and dense the dates are, as more than like they are fresh from the tree. I’m surprised Alison doesnt like honey, considering that you guys really don’t deal with sugar; I thought honey would be a good alternative. The Omanian honey should be awesome, seeing that they are a desert country, with different types of vegetation. 🍯 ⠀ Can’t wait for the next episode. Keep the uploads coming. Soon we will be able to put all of the lockdowning/quarantining to the back, way in the past. Until the next one. 😎
I'm so glad this trip isn't over. I've been enjoying this Oman series while quarantining. Thank you for continuing to show more. Let us know when it's the second to last one. Lol
So glad you're enjoying the Oman series! We're definitely loving reliving it, especially since we've been sitting still for so long. 😅We have a few more adventure coming - no worries!
@@Theendlessadventure I'm high school teacher. My students (senior English class) is currently looking at perception and will be closing the unit of study with photography. So...for one lesson last week I had them do an assignment where they watch an episode of yours, add up your travel equipment costs, add up your merch, read your donations etc. We also talked about marketing skills and networking with companies etc. To see the work it takes to run a travel channel. They loved it.
I'd love to see a fashion video from Allison- I always love your outfits and I even bought the same backpack after seeing you wear it in your Italy videos! I'd love to know where your lovely dress and sandals are from and see what else you pack with you!!
Thanks so much, Laura! Hopefully the backpack's held up nicely! 😊The blue dress is from Asos: www.asos.com/us/wednesdays-girl/wednesdays-girl-midi-shirt-dress-in-floral-print/prd/12285032?clr=&colourWayId=16414181&SearchQuery=wednesdays%20girl and I think the sandals are just from amazon?
Hey new subscriber here, Love how yall editing your videos! Also this is a very informal video on the area and the foods! Gives me ideas on how to do my future vlogs on my channel. Thanks for sharing! keep up the great work!
@Heather Davies we definitely recommend visiting! It was really easy to get around, the people were so kind and helpful, and the nature is incredible! 😍
Without much humidity it seems everything lasts much longer. When we lived in the desert it was so cold at night. Now we live in Vermont and I can remember it somewhat more uncomfortable than cold here, especially when the wind blows.
@@MoaathMas Oman can easily reach a dry 40°C. Whilst the UK averages about 25°C but is very changeable and can range anywhere from 18°C to 35°C (on very few days).
You guys eating the gelatinous too made me laugh! I’m missing your travels so much you guys :( the bee tombs look so bloody cool! Definitely something I’ll add to my list of things to see! Hope you’re ok you guys! :)
That pottery is beautiful and the Date Shop reminded me of a small town in Dateland AZ but not as sophisticated or beautiful as where you are. AZ has farms of those jurassic looking Date ☺️ trees and a gas station/ convenience store/gift shop. They sell soft serve Date ice cream too.
Hey Eric! I have exactly the same backpack. Had it for years and it's been everywhere - even through sewage treatment works - not literally though!! Awesome piece of kit. Hope you two are keeping safe and well :)
I remember syria before civil war, included iraq, today syria and iraq most heritage site, like castle, fort, palace, ancient ruins, monument, medieval old city, old city wall, old city gates, old bazaar/market, temple, old mosque, old church, tower, beutiful medieval arab architecture house and building are destroyed
There are so many varieties of Halwa. All sweet but some are more subtle in taste than others. Traditionally you drink Omani coffee straight after to neutralize the taste.
Allison, how is it being a woman there? It's def a challenge being female and traveling. I'd actually love to hear you do a whole episode on that with all your travels.
Thanks, same to you! Reliving adventures like this one definitely helps. We miss traveling, but we're just counting ourselves lucky that we got to experience so many amazing countries before the lockdown. Hopefully we'll see you back on the road soon enough 😊
Did Nizwa Fort make you think of a desert Winterfell? Hair looks great, Eric! You guys were out solo at those remote rock structures. Guessing you felt safe?
It was definitely pretty toasty during the heat of the day. Luckily it was really breezy at the fort, especially on the higher levels, and the thick walls kept it cool inside. There wasn't a lot of humidity, so even when you're in direct sun, it's not too terrible 😅Just wear a hat and take plenty of water 👍

Oman is definitely on my bucket list now. It’s so beautiful.

The Fort looks grand. It is good to see that there are people offering snacks inside the Fort. Love the Palm Trees

$1 kebabs?! That sounds like my kind of place! Nizwa looks like a beautiful town 😍
Definitely a delicious score! 🌯Nizwa was super beautiful! If we weren't on a bit of a time crunch, we would have loved to stay a few more days 👍
Im all caught up, watched ALL your videos over the past 2 months (pretty much liked all of them). Stay safe
Looks like the food is so delicious and organic
I love this series! It's interesting! Turkish have their own halva but it looks completely different (it's creamy, with strong sesame flavor), while the halves you had in Oman seems to be like Turkish cevizli sucuk!
The Castle-Fort & Beehive Tombs were very cool. Have fun & be safe.
That crepe like food looks delicious can't wait till this whole pandemic passes so I can visit the middle east
The lady who made them seemed so friendly too.
It was so delicious and the lady making them was super friendly! We definitely hope you get to make the trip soon enough :)
They're called 'Khubz Rakhal' or we just call them 'Rakhal'.

Beautiful Nizwa and beehive tombs. Have you tried spicy halwa with meat? (very interesting)
That was really interesting.
Y'all are making me want to go to Oman 😂
Great video as always guys 👍
Ahh those bee hive tombs are unexpectedly very cool and now I really want to go!!
They're amazing to see in person! We highly recommend a visit 😊
I’ve never been so early!! Can’t wait to watch it all the way through 😍
Hope you enjoy it 🤗
My family loves Halwa. Our relations in Oman always bring some along with some dates. When they visit the UK (they like the cooler summer).
What’s the cooler summer?
@@MoaathMas Oman can easily reach a dry 40°C. Whilst the UK averages about 25°C but is very changeable and can range anywhere from 18°C to 35°C (on very few days).

Go to Sur, it’s a pretty good visit.
You guys are so cool and that crepe looked amazing
Thanks, I enjoyed the vid.
Very liked this video nice photography iam from Varanasi
I suggest you to visit Samail it’s really nice city as well
I really like how you guys make the names of the cities appear, what program do you use?
Love from karachi 😍😍😍😍
Pleasant trip
Audio level is spot on!
Lots of practice and proper equipment
Greetings from a new Indonesian friend
oman so good

That makes a lot of sense! Omani coffee would have been delicious afterwards ☕️thanks for the tip!
So Beautiful port boss
You might liked the other flavors of Halwa if u tried them. I'm assuming u just tasted one flavor.
Love the hairclaw.
Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Thanks! Same to you 🙌
Allison, how is it being a woman there? It's def a challenge being female and traveling. I'd actually love to hear you do a whole episode on that with all your travels.
My wife and I went to Oman a few months back. It's one of the safest countries in the middle east. We had no issues whatsoever.
@@Kered-9 That's great! Do you think it would be the same if you were not there?
@@katt3428 I think it would be. I'm definitely not a big intimidating guy. We've been to the UAE as well, very safe!

Interesting!
I live in Dubai and I have so much of the halwa
Great video
Did Nizwa Fort make you think of a desert Winterfell? Hair looks great, Eric! You guys were out solo at those remote rock structures. Guessing you felt safe?
Haha, desert Winterfell! We didn't think about it at the time, but we definitely see it now. 😂🏰And yep, we definitely felt safe out there 👍
The people’s look so nice....are they friendly with the foreigners?
Yes they are so friendly with foreigners
I was curious about that too! By the looks of it so far, they do seem to be very nice!
I visited Oman many times and it is a great place and kind people and some foreigners setteled down there by the way
Why is Halva so strange?
I used to buy it in the early 90's and I'm in Belfast.
Nice place
Are you guys in Oman during the corona crisis?
I definitely need a murder hole.
That flatbread crepe looked amazing!
And of course the Intrepid Duo said GOOEY! Couldn't wait to hear it. Expansion of vocab might be helpful!
Lane Goodspeed okay nelly negative
"act like you like it" xDDDDDDDDDD
That made me laugh too
Halwa had me thinking it would taste like caramel or chocolate; but totally wasn’t. It was good to try; but an acquired taste
Did you guys go to the Bimmah Sinkhole?
Come visit Egypt 7000 years older.! we are history.!
Mina Zakria as a child I’ve always wanted to visit Egypt ❤️ you have amazing history!!!!
9:40... I'd take the goat home as a pet too haha
I love your skirt sooo much please tell me where you purchased it!!
Hi Marissa! The red skirt is actually from amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B07S3GTM7Q/ref=twister_B07P6TXWBV
very nice
Is it as hot as it appears to be?☀️
It was definitely pretty toasty during the heat of the day. Luckily it was really breezy at the fort, especially on the higher levels, and the thick walls kept it cool inside. There wasn't a lot of humidity, so even when you're in direct sun, it's not too terrible 😅Just wear a hat and take plenty of water 👍
Gelatinous goo ball. Sounds delicious?
I always say if I wasn't born Omani I would be weirded out by Halwa.
Anyone else get major PC game 'Prince of Persia' vibes?
I ve been there
