    Gabriel, I've been subscribed to you since around 4,000, we even had a conversation a few years back about meeting up in India. Either way I just wanted to say it has been amazing watching your channel grow over the years. Even now at 132,000 subscribers, your channel is seriously underrated. You showcase REAL traveling, and are overall just a super genuine/amazing human being. I wish you safe travels my friend, and cant wait to see the channel continue to grow. Peace

    I wasn't sure if Oman had lived up to your expectations based on the other videos. Its certainly beautiful and interesting, but turned out to be rather expensive and sparse. Then this video. Wow. Incredible. One of my favorites. Definitely have me thinking of a Gulf nations adventure now.

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos
      @GabrielTravelerVideos  6 лет назад +1

      Internet is definitely variable. In the UAE it was the best, Oman was slower, especially in Sohar. Jordan so far is slow as well, but I haven't tried at many places yet.

    Amazing Canyon and very interesting village landscape. Looks like you found good companion for the ride. A Bangladesi /Londoner tourist deep in Oman ? Interesting.
    The was quite a feast you had at the end but I am not sure how authentic an Omani fare it was. Chicken masala and calamari fry does not sound like it but I am sure you enjoyed it.

    Glad you got the chance to see that part of Oman. As you've mentioned in the video, the best way is to rent a car and explore. Btw, that's only 10% of what Oman has to offer :-)

    @Gk-pi9lq 6 лет назад +1

    I've been so inspired by all your videos and am now planning my journey. I have been researching a lot lately and I'm hoping for input from you or your followers about how you book your flights from place to place. Do you use open ended or when you're done with a particular destination, do you then buy an onward ticket either to a new destination or back to home destination, etc? Looking to get the most bang for my buck and yo make my journey as long as possible in doing so. Thanks to all in advance!

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos
      @GabrielTravelerVideos  6 лет назад

      I book my flights one at a time. Especially if you're flexible with your time and destinations it's the best way to go. Check skyscanner and plug in your departure city and then "Everywhere" to see the cheapest flights to places all over the world. If you're on a specific time schedule then you'll probably want to book flights in advance, but otherwise you can leave them open and book a week or two before you want to fly. There are a few exceptions for countries that require an onward flight to be booked such as the Philippines, Indonesia, Colombia, etc. Before flying to any country you will want to do a little research about the requirements for entry, as well as visas. Have an awesome trip!

    Hi Gabriel
    I so love your channel, i have been watching most of your video's so far since a couple of weeks now.it started with the vids from Greece.
    I needed to see some sunny vids because it's wintertime in the Netherlands right now and I was searching for Paros and came across your channel.By the way I made a booking via the link Booking.com you mentioned for a $20 (€15) discount , so thxs a lot☺ If i'm correct but i am not sure you will get the same amount too for referring ,so viewers use the link for your upcoming travels! It is a good and safe site .
    PS love tot see your upcoming video about Petra as you can see my first name is Petra as well, it's a very common first name in the Netherlands Must go there myself some day but I'll let you check out first!
    Safe travels and greetings from Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos
      @GabrielTravelerVideos  6 лет назад

      Great, glad you're enjoying them. Yes I should get $20 too so it's definitely a win-win. Petra, cool name, didn't know it was also Dutch.

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos
      @GabrielTravelerVideos  6 лет назад +4

      I didn't pay anything because Sarkey wasn't a guide. He was a tourist who had a rental car and invited me to join him. However I did pay for his dinner as a thank you. And we paid $20 each for the guy who gave us a ride out to the canyon.

    "Oman's rich and Bangladesh's poor, remember that." That might be true, but not all Omani's are rich. Most of the Omani's are drowning in seas of debt just like the westerners. We're no different.
    Thank you for visiting Oman, Gabriel. I know how frustrating it may be for people to visit Oman. Transportation is probably the most problematic thing, renting a car is the best option for those who are thinking about visiting Oman.

    *Gabe's Going: "Down Under"*
    ♫♫ Traveling in a fried-out Kombi
    On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
    ♫ Lyin' in a den in Bombay
    With a slack jaw, and not much to say
    I said to the man, are you trying to tempt me
    Because I come from the land of plenty
    And he said
    ♫ Do you come from a land down under
    Where women glow and men plunder
    Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
    You better run, you better take cover ♫ ♫

    Great video. I'm curious to know if you've ever had to seek medical attention during your travels and what that experience was like. Also, what travel insurance do you have. I assume it's an annual policy. Maybe think about doing a short video on travel insurance and your experience using it.

      Hi, here's an old video about travel insurance. ruclips.net/video/MSpz0K3rIlU/видео.html I'm still using the same company. Luckily I've never had to get medical attention while traveling. That would not be a fun experience in a lot of places.

    could you go to jebel shams? it is a restricted area and you need permissions. I believe it snows sometimes in jebel shams

      Correct, I don't think you can go there, it's a restricted military area.
