I Traveled Through Oman During Off-Season & Ramadan And Felt Like I Was The Only Tourist In The Country

ADVERTISEMENT

Halfway through May 2018 I road-tripped along some of Oman’s greatest highlights. Since temperatures quickly rose up to 45 degrees and Ramadan just started, I noticed that there weren’t many tourists visiting at this time of year. The countries vastness can easily make you feel like you are the only one in the world and I really felt I was.

Big tourist attractions like the Sultan Qaboes Mosque or The Al Alam Palace were deserted during daytime. And even the Souk, which I know from other Middle Eastern country’s is the place were everything happens, had only a couple of merchantmen sitting around waiting for nightfall.

It was magical to visit these places and truly see them in all their glory.

Imagine there's a much more captivating palace in downtown , right next to the fortified city.
