In this travel vlog we visit Muscat and it's mosque. We swim with turtles at Al-Daymaniyat Islands. We hired a car and drove to Bimmah Sinkhole and
Wadi Shab & Wadi Bani khalid. We spend a night in the desert and walk Oman's answer to the Grand Canyon in Jebel Shams.
Hotel in Muscat where we also hired car: lanavilla-oman.com/
Thanks to Luke, Katie and Chris for the turtle footage (My camera dead, RIP)

This was very interesting Phil and very well edited and put together. You have come a long way since doing the South Downs Way (literally!) and deserve far more views and subscribers than you currently have. Well done! Wasn't expecting another adventure so soon after the last!

Just catching up. Defo went to the Grand Mosqu. Stunning

@WestGoesEast Год назад

Hope you went to some of the other natural places too!

@EmmaSamways Год назад

@West Goes East sadly not. I was only there for 5 nights and was staying with my friends parents. We spent our time going to the expat areas. Beach, pool, M and S, and sunbathing. We were only 16!

@@EmmaSamways didn't realise they had Marks and Spencers there 🤔

@EmmaSamways Год назад

@West Goes East well the used to. There was a big UK military base there so they did a roaring trade with the espats!

Great video...got here after seeing your Jordan video. I was already planning my Jordan trip but now I want to go to Oman too. Also tip on the phone: saltwater doesn't dry completely so the phone thinks there is still moisture. If you have a waterproof phone you just need to wash the salt off and let it dry.

@WestGoesEast 10 месяцев назад

Thank you. Yes, Oman is just as amazing as Jordan. In fact it probably has more to offer but Petra and Wadi Rum are incredible so well worth going to Jordan for those places alone. Thanks for the tip about the phone. Thankfully I had phone insurance so got it replaced. Just gutted I lost the turtle footage.

@Al7ajri Год назад

hope u enjoyed oman

I sure did! Loved it :)

@faisalshaheen3647 10 месяцев назад

Hey! Awesome video. Really well put together. Where did you stayed for your time around jabal Al chams?

@WestGoesEast 10 месяцев назад

Thank you! :) It was called Sama heights resort. Hope that helps!

@kvnabrn Год назад

Hello! What a wonderful trip ! :D Where did you sleep exactly in the desert ? The spot look awesome. We are planning to go there also.

@WestGoesEast Год назад

The camp was called Wahiba Bedouins private camp. Really special due to the small size and the kind host.

@harrygriffiths8996 4 месяца назад

Hey man, did you need a permit for the drone or did you just take and risk it?

@WestGoesEast 4 месяца назад

Hey, I didn't take my drone? Are there any drone shots in the vid? I wouldn't risk tbh as you'll likely have it taken away at the airport but I guess you never know if you wanna try. I did meet a guy at the sink hole who had one but he had driven it through from Dubai. I've got the same issue for an upcoming trip to Senegal where it's not allowed. Bit of a bugger!

@sierraward9609 10 месяцев назад

Hi there! Great video! Did you have any issues driving a smaller (not 4x4) vehicle around? In particular to the wadi?

@sierraward9609 10 месяцев назад

*Also you mention there were people offering rides up to jebel? So one could potentially park the car at the bottom? We’ll be in a rental and I’m terrified of ruining it, haha. Thanks!

@WestGoesEast 10 месяцев назад

Hi there. Thanks for watching :) No issues with driving to any of the wadis. The only procarious drive we had was up to Jebal but we manged it and the car was fine plus we were in a brand new hire car and there not a scratch. It's just a bit steep and there was no tarmac. I wouldn't suggest trying to get a lift up as that was just some guy trying his luck to make a buck or 2....I wouldnt have fully trusted that plus you'd have to find your own way back too when coming back down the mountain.

@sierraward9609 10 месяцев назад

@@WestGoesEast ok, thanks! I heard/read somewhere that there might be a checkpoint at the bottom not allowing non 4x4 vehicles up so wasn't sure.

@WestGoesEast 10 месяцев назад

@@sierraward9609we didn't encounter any check points. I think you'll be OK. That's if you go where we went anyway.

@kmtb2011 2 месяца назад

did you prebook Daymaniyat island? or can you jsut arrive at the port hoping for someone to take you there (with fee of course)

@WestGoesEast 2 месяца назад

I would book tbh as they get booked up pretty quickly and the port is a bit of a drive out of town. Having said that I think we booked a day in advance. The owner of our hotel rang them company up to see if there was availability on the boat and luckily for us there was.

@darrenbennicke3722 5 месяцев назад

How long did you spend in Wadi Shab? We have a spare afternoon layover and were wondering if we could fit it in from Muscat.

@WestGoesEast 5 месяцев назад

We arrived in the afternoon but could have spent the whole day there as its so nice. It felt a bit rushed for us. It's about a 2 hour drive from Muscat , a 5 minute boat ride across the river and then probs about a 45 min walk through the canyon until you reach the water. So it is doable if you have a car but you maybe pushed for time. Plus I think the last boat across the river is at 7pm (but cant remember for sure)? There is the Bimmah Sinkhole which is a bit closer to Muscat which is pretty cool. Not as nice as Wadi Shab though. Hope that helps?
