Just about this time the Semites were moving from their homeland in the Syro-Arabian desert into the Near East in two directions. They moved eastward into the Mesopotamian and westward into the Canaanite zones. Here you had this mashing together of two unlike cultures, and if you want to know what it might have been like to live in one of these little towns in those days, just read the story of Jacob and his twelve sons invading Sechem. There was a dust cloud on the horizon-was it a sandstorm or was it a bunch of Bedouins coming? It happened to be Bedouins . . . and the next morning everybody in the city was dead. These were terrific times when these two worlds were coming together.
Great Video as usual. I don’t think any followers of yours do any trip without watching your vlogs. Your vlogs are so descriptive and detailed. Turtles are just wow
we went to oman for our honeymoon in 2018, went to all the places you covered in this video except the islands. what an incredible country, i’d love to visit again especially the souk in Nizwa and get way more rose oil than i got last time. Oman is the rose oil destination in the world.
Thank you for sharing Oman!!! I live in Muscat during winter season. My first time visited Oman was back in 2008, since 2022 I become resident in Oman by buying a property. I would say the magic of Oman is its people. Also, I do not see people change much since 2008. They are still super nice and more opened minded now
Wow that’s so interesting ! I can see why you love Oman and I definitely agree with you about the people there being genuine and so kind. It’s wonderful to know it hasn’t changed much in that regard 😍✨
@@Kristinahouwer indeed. Also the price are still stable too. I love the environment, people, culture, manner there. My dream country is the best to describe Oman:)
Thank you, debating on a trip next year, and this is helping me solidify to visit Oman! Going to check out some of your other videos too to compare :)!
Thank you so much ! I loved Oman and can highly recommend it ! Also check out the Doha video if you’re looking for another place in the area to visit and the Jordan series (if it’s safe to go by then obviously)
Hi Kristina I’m going to Oman in 3 months and found your amazing video with so many good tips. Which company do you recommend for the day trip to the Daymaniat Islands from Muscat??
Hi thanks for watching the video , glad to read you enjoyed it :) we rented a car at the airport on arrival and used it to drive everywhere, including the marina in Muscat where we met the islands tour operator. There are many of them and they all go to the same places but I found like through tripzdvisor and it was called daymaniyat islands snorkeling half day tour
I have heard many great things about Oman. Everything looks absolutely beautiful. I will definitely need to visit Oman one of these days as I know I will have a great time there. Awesome video!
Hi! It was by Daymaniyat Sea Tours and on Tripadvisor it’s called : Daymaniyat Islands Snorkeling Half-Day Tour. You can book it directly through Tripadvisor :) hope that helps !
Greetings! New to your channel and subbed as well. Thank you for sharing your trip. I will be in Oman next year. Can you tell me the name of the company you used for your island excursion? I would definitely like to see that while I'm there. Thank you and safe travels.
Thanks so much for subscribing , means a lot ! The excursion was through Tripadvisor and it was called Daymaniyat Islands Snorkeling Half Day Tour, it was around 150$ from what I recall. There are others you can choose from , most of them go to the same places, just depends how much time you have in the day ! Hope you have an amazing time , Oman is a beautiful country !
Thanks very much ! It’s nice to do so in the cities but in super touristy areas where it’s hot and you go swimming , the tour guides don’t mind if you cover arms/ legs or not
Great footage. Did you explore much of the south of the country by chance? Around the Salaleh area? If you ever decide to come to Iran, let me know. It's a treasure trove of cultural sites and nature, and some of the best food you'll ever have.
Yes , I 100% recommend Oman for solo travelers. I felt so safe there and the people are extremely nice, genuine and helpful. My car was rented at the airport as soon as I landed and I gave it back at the same place before my flight home. It was definitely the best option to get around
Kristina hello have you ever been to Wales or France Corsica thank you have very beautiful eyes you are worthy and you are very beautiful i hope you visit France Corsica you are a amazing i am in the process to get my passport thank you for sharing your adventure with us.
Yes, and a result of that invasion some parts of Oman were under Portuguese rule in the 16th and 17th c. Fascinating to still see remains of that. Thanks for watching 💕
Thanks for watching and for your comment , it’s so interesting for me to hear about different experiences people had in the places I’ve travelled to ! Have a great day xxx
It’s legal but frowned upon unless you’re at the beach. When I was at the beach it was totally fine but as soon as I crossed the road to a nearby cafe in my swimsuit and shorts, I definitely got a few surprised looks. No one said anything though and it also depends what beach you’re on - if it’s only tourists then you’ll be okay but if it’s mostly locals it might be better to keep swimsuit for beach only and just throw on a linen shirt or dress over it for other places
@@Kristinahouwer actually I asked you to see the opinion of tourism people sorry for that. I'm Omani and let me tell you this it's illegal according to the low number 294 that clothes should be under the knee and t shirt like this 👕. But here the police will not gonna report you or something even the community will not do anything about it but it's (illegal) I hope you enjoyed your days in Oman and we will be so happy to see you again here 😊
@@freebinstryon oh sorry then I misunderstood your question ! It was one of my favourite countries partly because of how kind everyone was, even when you aren’t aware of all laws as a tourist. People are genuine and accepting and it shines through
Я думаю, что российские музыканты, из-за санкций не скоро смогут заявить свои права на лицензирование своей музыки на Ютубе. Исключение может быть для людей с двойным гражданством или для предателей РФ, но я почти всех их знаю. Поэтому буду добавлять песни на русском языке по необходимости. А у тебя песня в ролик попала случайно или ты сама добавила? Если сама, то какой группы или автора?
perfect trip🎉😊 great images🎉🎉 thanks for sharing...enjoy.your travels👋 Liked and subbed of course😇

Great video! Full of fun footages 🙌🏼
Thank you so much ! It’s one of my personal favourites😉
What a great video🤩really want to ho there now🤩
Thanks 😃 you’ll love it for sure, it’s a truly underrated country
Thanks for this nice video of Oman. I Thought you had to cover arms ans legs in wadi, in town to respect Omanis, isn't it ?
Thanks very much ! It’s nice to do so in the cities but in super touristy areas where it’s hot and you go swimming , the tour guides don’t mind if you cover arms/ legs or not
Hi would be good to list the areas you visited and how you got there and ease of getting there by foot or transport and expense for entry
We rented a car at the airport when arriving and just drove everywhere :) was easy
Great Oman and beautiful Kristina! I fill that I fell in love with you and your incredible videos!
Thank you so much and I’m so pleased to hear you’re enjoying the channel and the videos on here ! Have a great day
@@KristinahouwerThank you, it's my pleasure!

I didn’t get a chance this time, but hopefully next time ! Thank you so much , I’ve heard wonderful things about the beauty of Iran

did you have a drone with you? was that fine?
I didn't but I rented one from a local licensed pilot
Hi did you register drone there ? or just use ?
Hi there , I actually rented a drone from a local drone pilot the day I arrived to Oman

This was 6 months ago but i LOVED Oman !
Can Americans get visa on arrival? everything i read online says yes but it is recommended to get the evisa online.
I don’t know about US passport holder as I have a European one and I’d hate to give you false advice ! 😓
Do you recommend Oman for solo travelers? As well do you recommend renting a car to get around Oman?
Yes , I 100% recommend Oman for solo travelers. I felt so safe there and the people are extremely nice, genuine and helpful. My car was rented at the airport as soon as I landed and I gave it back at the same place before my flight home. It was definitely the best option to get around
UK nationals need visa or is it on arrival?
I don’t have a uk passport but my visa was on arrival. Most accurate is to check online beforehand
best month to visit suggest me folk ?
I visited in January and it was perfect
Kristina hello have you ever been to Wales or France Corsica thank you have very beautiful eyes you are worthy and you are very beautiful i hope you visit France Corsica you are a amazing i am in the process to get my passport thank you for sharing your adventure with us.

A call for player (Adhan)are not songs that you have heard near by the Masjid , better be informe before visiting Muslim countries
Yes thank you for the correct terminology , I will remember it for next time. My Arabic is also much better now than it was when I filmed this :)
Stop getting butthurt
Portugul invaded Oman, not that it used to be part of Portugul
Yes, and a result of that invasion some parts of Oman were under Portuguese rule in the 16th and 17th c. Fascinating to still see remains of that. Thanks for watching 💕
I stayed in the place it was good not great

Is it legal to wear swimsuit or bikini in public?
It’s legal but frowned upon unless you’re at the beach. When I was at the beach it was totally fine but as soon as I crossed the road to a nearby cafe in my swimsuit and shorts, I definitely got a few surprised looks.
