IS OMAN EXPENSIVE? Supermarket Shopping in Salalah | Cost of Living 2023 🇴🇲

[@SaudiFoodinEnglish]

This was quite informative! Another fun video keeping me company while I cook!

[@toohappytobehomesick]

Glad you enjoyed it! I hope you are fine! 💓

[@oskarumesh2394]

Actually, your videos changed my views about Arabic countries .

[@toohappytobehomesick]

Aww your comment made my day! That’s the purpose of my channel - open minds, change views about people and cultures

[@Sara-ov4um]

I hope you don't listen to the fake Western News Channels or gossips...Arabs are normal people like everywhere

Ciao Elizabeth bel video, e che tranquillità. Ho adorato il reparto saponette. 🤩 E il luogo dove soggiorni è a dir poco fantastico. Super relax!!!

[@toohappytobehomesick]

Il reparto saponette è meraviglioso in Oman, ce ne sono per tutti i gusti, me le porto spesso in Italia 😊Salalah è davvero rilassante

[@alihejazi2060]

My dad worked between Italy and Saudia Arabia for almost 15 years... He used to buy Italian silver jewelry from an Italian small city ( can't remember it's name) and sell it in Saudia... My dad used to tell me about Italian people, how they are dedicated, humble yet professional and overall nice people... In many ways, wish all countries live in peace, prosperity and freedom

[@toohappytobehomesick]

Thank you for sharing! 😊

I made the big mistake of clicking on this link, so many fond memories of Oman, also Bahrain, the U.A.E. and the others. Iran is also a special country with warm, hospitable people like it is in the Gulf. 🇸🇦🇧🇭🇮🇷🇦🇪🇴🇲🇶🇦

[@toohappytobehomesick]

Gulf countries people are really hospitable! I love Iran as well, a special place with wonderful people

[@Predikant]

@@toohappytobehomesick I also agree with the lifestyle in Oman and neighboring countries, the West has become very 'Agenda' focused to the point where it has become toxic and innately corrupt.

[@toohappytobehomesick]

I do agree with you. Anytime I come back to Italy I feel uncomfortable, people are often nervous and full of stress. I don’t think I could live in the west anymore

[@salimalwardi3606]

Good day. You did not finish filming in the Kingdom in the Najran region, and you did not film for us your departure to the State of Oman. I hope that you enjoyed your visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and we hope that you will visit all the regions that you have not visited in order to enjoy its atmosphere. Greetings, and we wish you a happy life.

[@toohappytobehomesick]

Hello, I posted my last video in Najran, have you watched it? Unfortunately my camera fell down on my last day in Najran and then I went to Riyadh to treat a small health problem I had while travelling. My camera got repaired now and hopefully I will come back to Saudi Arabia to explore more. Inshallah ❤️

[@bjornhaberland9091]

The Salalah Garden Mall is indeed very beautiful. There is still a kind of courtyard in the mall, with great cafés and restaurants .

[@toohappytobehomesick]
