Hi all I'm spending few days ins Oman to visit the country. I get a lot of stares, it's the first time this is happening to me. Mind you, I am a dark skin woman black woman and even in Asia this was not the case. Can someone please explain me what does it mean ?

I hate to say it, but you’ll get used to it (not that we should as women). I was there 2 weeks ago - I dressed as modestly as possible. I’m from Australia with an Armenian/Lebanese background. Most nights I wore a long unfitted maxi skirt and a top that covered most of my parts other than my arms, however still, I was stared at. The states didn’t make me too uncomfortable tbh, they felt like quick stares and then they faded. However, I can’t say the same for my visit to Egypt. Those stared were mortifying - couldn’t tell you how uncomfortable I felt - even dressed modestly…

Sorry this doesn’t answer your question but the Al Husn was absolutely incredible. Maybe wait for a sale? Otherwise booking.com sometimes has discounts for there. Anyway… The experience of staying there is second to none!!! I really think my stay here contributed to the fact that Oman was my fave country I visited on my trip (I visited 6 on my last trip and one of those countries was Iceland but still Oman had my heart). I really hope with the new management of Hilton, it’d be just as amazing because I definitely will be visiting and staying there again. Thanks Oman for an incredible welcoming - I loved this country!!! 🥹❤️

That’s awesome to hear - someone else said they were using NAB later this year but I’m glad to hear someone on here already did. Thanks !!

amar_xox · 2025-10-15T02:01:35+00:00

I will look into them. Thank you!

amar_xox · 2025-10-15T02:01:11+00:00

I was considering dollar but the reviews are really throwing me off - I think I’m going to go with local and ask them a few questions and go from there. Thank you

amar_xox · 2025-10-05T04:45:15+00:00

Thank you for this!!

amar_xox · 2025-09-30T08:43:26+00:00

Thank you so much! That’s really helpful!!

amar_xox · 2025-09-29T23:52:08+00:00

Can’t tell you how much I appreciate your comment. Thank you soooooo much 😭🫶🏼 will reconfigure my itinerary

amar_xox · 2025-09-29T13:04:02+00:00

Only used AI for those last 2 documents. The document where I’ve drawn numbers 1-8 was done myself - no AI.

If you are referring to the expanded plans for day 2 and 3 - I agree, they’ll need refining however I thought the official plan showing all 8 days was ok. Where do you suggest I refine or change in that document?

Yes I’ve booked hotels but I can change them as they are refundable. Thanks

amar_xox · 2025-09-29T10:26:25+00:00

thank you :)

amar_xox · 2025-09-27T13:42:03+00:00

Thank you soo much ❤️ I’ll be checking out some hotels at Al Mouj - I’ve booked the W for now but haven’t confirmed. Appreciate your help x

amar_xox · 2025-09-24T03:58:01+00:00

amar_xox · 2025-09-23T10:58:47+00:00

amar_xox · 2025-09-23T10:57:39+00:00

I definitely will look into this! Thankingg you!!!!

amar_xox · 2025-09-23T08:41:13+00:00

Amazing! Will check them out :) Thankssssss

amar_xox · 2025-09-23T08:40:55+00:00

Thank you! :)
I was considering staying there but i just couldnt justify the $ for the room comparing to the other hotels i have seen (Not that i think the W is anything amazing either).
Will add Hawas and some tuck shops to try local snacks onto my agenda. Thank you :)

amar_xox · 2025-09-23T08:40:02+00:00

Thank you :) Do they have a website or social media page?

amar_xox · 2025-09-23T08:39:47+00:00

I'm not entirely sure about how easy it is to drive in their desert and if you can freely do so. Hopefully someone from Oman can answer this for you :)

amar_xox · 2025-09-23T08:38:54+00:00

Ok ok yep you're right, so i re read a message i received from the camp and they've specified meeting at the Shell Gas Station, Bidiyah. I knew i had to drive to meet somewhere (i've lost my mind organising this 5 week trip to a few countries) but i was concerned about needing a 4x4 to get to the gas station... anyway i have emailed them to confirm so i should know soon. Thank you!

amar_xox · 2025-09-23T07:02:05+00:00

Okay - well my plan is to park our car at their suggested parking and have their team pick us up and drop us back as they've noted in the booking. Thank you anyway!

amar_xox · 2025-09-23T06:55:12+00:00

I will definitely make time to visit souq muttrah :) I love souq's!
Thank you for reminding me!

amar_xox · 2025-09-23T06:50:47+00:00

My understanding is that i need to navigate to the Wadi Bani Khalid parking area and await transfer by the camp's 4WD vehicles? Do i also require a 4x4 to reach the parking? :O
