Quick Thoughts
Oman has a special place in my heart as it was my first trip since moving halfway across the world to Dubai in December 2017. And I was not disappointed! I once read it’s considered the “Norway of the Middle East” which is quite fitting given the country’s wild camping allowance and diverse natural landscapes ranging from fjords to jaw-dropping mountain ranges to the lush Wadi oasis, desert sands and coastal views. During my 7-day roadtrip, I experienced much of this as well as the wonderful locals and I cannot wait to explore this country again soon!
