I'm having a whale of a time exploring Oman in the Troopy.
Can't bear the thought of taking it back off the road for a few weeks to finish the interior, but I guess it's a means to an end.
What a gorgeous photo, thank you for sharing.View attachment 2010651
40c in the evening, 80-90% humidity. What better to do than join friends on the beach to break fast during Ramadan and enjoy Iftar.

And one final night. Around 1400m in the mountains of the Musandam, the spit of Oman that sits in the Straight of Hormuz. Temps dropped down to 28c here at night, which was very pleasant considering it was 46c at sea level. Spent the night in the hammock, mount from McLean Metal Works.
Hopefully 10 days.Sorry to hear about that.

You are really fortunate to be able to do such a trip. Thank you for these amazing pics!!! Would love to see more?Just returned from a 10-day solo trip around Saudi Arabia. I've lived in the Middle East for nearly 9 years, but this was my first time visiting the Kingdom. Same as most people, I had my own misconceptions about Saudi, but these have been completely undone. The country was spectacular, vast, and the people were incredibly hospitable. I could've eaten lunch and dinner most days with locals inviting me to theirs.
Anyway, some visuals.
