My brother, I'm grateful for you having spent 15 years in that region, and I'm a bit envious! I'm learning Arabic just so I can spend many years living there. But I have a question for you, is it easy to travel from country to country in the Arabian peninsular? For example, can I get from Muscat, Oman to Doha, Qatar relatively easily? By car or by airplane? Let me know your thoughts!
@AndyFletcherX315 жыл бұрын
@@thearchitect27 It used to be reasonably easy until Saudi, Bahrain and UAE decided to blockade Qatar. Now there is no land access to Qatar. However you can fly to Doha from Kuwait and Muscat, takes around an hour. If you are going from UAE or Saudi then you will need to transit Oman or Kuwait. There is also some messing around with ticketing but most things are possible.Flying between countries is usually the best choice anyway, as they are reasonably priced. You can drive through Saudi Arabia but it is a hassle getting permits and border controls can take a very long time on occasion.

The white is the official color and expected to be worn in the offices and important celebrations. Omanis love their perfume too. The entire country just smells of frankincense and perfume. It’s very special.

Fantastic documentary! I visited Oman 20 years ago and at the time I had to be interviewed at the Oman embassy to get a visa, for there was no tourism. The employee was surprised I wanted to visit their country, there were virtually no other tourists except the odd expat families on a weekend break from Saudi Arabia... It was a magical discovery as expected, and it's one of my all-time favorite countries. Courteous and friendly people, delicious food, reasonably modern and traditional values, great overall atmosphere, fascinating refined culture and gorgeous landscapes! Although that's a while ago now, I could recognize the well-kept secret it really is through this video.

They don't all slide together in oil formations around the globe, turn into slime almost instantly - while layers of compressed earth settle on top of them over millions of years.

Hi movie - I want to know, when you want to photograph a person, do ask their permission? I am in the US. When I travel abroad, such as Cambodia, it just angered the pi$$ out of me to see rude tourists snapping pics of people, as if they were animals in a zoo. I wanted so badly to come from behind them and shove their lens into their face - I mean, say something constructive in a polite way, but hubby wouldn't let me. If someone from, say, Russia or The Netherlands walked up and focused a camera on my face I'd be upset, naturally. Thanks. :)

Research0digo People there are extremely polite and hospitable. Still though, they’ll be very weirded out if you shove a camera in their faces. People in villages are used to cameras because they know they’re living an alternative lifestyle and they expect tourists.
