Our trip will be divided into several logical parts.
Part 1—mountains and terraces;
Part 2—wadi canyons with swimming and trekking;
Part 3—desert and stars;
Part 4—the sea and turtles. Of course, we’ll also visit cities—Muscat, Nizwa—along with mosques and the long, haunting calls of the muezzin. Wouldn’t be complete without those!

We’ll start in Muscat, the capital of Oman. On the very first day, we’ll head to the mountains—turns out Oman has some seriously impressive ones—where we’ll hike through canyons, explore terraces, and swim in wadis. Later, we’ll spend a full night in the desert. We’ve picked a remote camp to avoid crowds, leaving just the stars and camels for company. As we near the end, we’ll try to catch a glimpse of turtles (though these creatures usually swarm ashore in big numbers from July to September, when Oman hits a cool +936°C—and no, that’s not the country’s telephone code)).

Sometimes I look like this (a proper mountain savage),
and sometimes like that (when we’re not on a Kamchatka-style expedition).
But in Oman? Oh, I’ll be upgrading to full Sultan mode combining all the styles mentioned above.
