I know what you mean about Morocco. Oman is deffo less touristy but we loved it. In terms of locals, we never really had any issues. Everyone was very friendly and we never felt unwelcome during any part of our trip. I think tourism is becoming big business in Oman and the overall attitude towards visitors will only continue to be pleasant. At least I hope it stays that way. I think there is an element of responsibility a traveler needs to take to be self-aware and respect the local customs. Oman was a great destination – we are looking forward to visiting again.

Thanks for stopping by. The desert camp is a fun way to explore this corner of Oman. The weather in Oman tends to be warm throughout the year. October through April tend to be the most popular months to visit. The only time I would avoid is during the height of the summer months of June, July and August where temps can reach above 40* C!

Morocco is also a very cool destination. We spent some time out in the Atlas Mountains – what an adventure. Oman was quite vast and everyone we encountered was very friendly. Outside of the major cities, no one really seemed phased that we were there. It didn’t feel touristy which was all part of the adventure.

Thanks for the kind words. Splashing about in the Wadis is one of the only ways to handle the days heat ha. You mentioned growing up un a desert – whereabouts was this?

Thanks for checking out my Oman series. I too was surprised that there was so much to do. If you haven’t done much travel in this part of the world, Oman is a nice first option to explore the Middle East.
