Hi Allison. I was your photographer at grand mosque. Brilliant vlog btw. Amazing visuals and story telling.

uh every time you say " I never imagined the middle east will have" is a reminder that most Americans grew up in a false narrative media bubble

[@zcbtamu]

I loved your comment about the honesty you witnessed. I had a similar experience in Saudi Arabia. I was travelling with my grandmother, and she paid for something, but left without taking her change. The shop clerk, after realising, ran out looking for her in a busy mall in order to give her change back. My grandmother and I were shocked. The change was such a small amount. Not worth looking for someone over. But it was important to the man because that money did not belong to him.

Thank you so much for visiting my country!! Oman is such a beautiful country but it's also unknown by many so thank u for putting it out there! Also, about the musk cube, crush it until it turns into a liquid-y paste and then put it in an unscented lotion for example and then you'll have a musk scented lotion (at least that's how I do it)

[@VictoriaPlett]

I grew up in Dubai and took many trips to Oman over the years. The Middle East is such an incredible place and the people are just beautiful. I live in Canada now but my heart belongs to the UAE. ❤ One thing I would recommend is doing a driving tour around the different Emirates and make your way over to Oman by vehicle. There are many hidden gems in the lesser known emirates. 🇦🇪❤

[@ayeshamansur8446]

Hey Allison, I'm so happy that you had a wonderful time in my country and appreciative of your comments. Alhamdulilah ( Thanks to Allah Swt) that our positive energy and our culture of loving and respecting everybody and especially guests is acknowledged and appreciated by almost anyone who visits Oman. Thank you and you are all welcome to visit our beautiful country, God Bless you all

[@midhun6147]

I wish Omanis treat everyone the same as the rest of the world do ,ethnicity still plays a large role in work,social treatment,salary etc . Still the coolest people I met in MiddleEast hands down.

[@cillamaria8]

Lovely video. I just spent one week in Northern Oman and had exactly the same vibes. Omanis were very polite, kind and welcoming people. All the places were clean and easy to visit. My favorites were Nizwa, Bidiyah and Wahiba Sands.

The musk, shave a little piece off and burn it in a bit of oil or water on a dish over a flame (as you’d burn essential oil). Will make the room smell amazing!

[@daejacob2147]

@@RIZFERD ahhh yes targetting the south asian countries wow how extremely 'riCh' of you bud. For your information, not all the indians, pakistanis, bangladeshis and turkish people that live in Oman are poor bud. I would say that most of the south asian folks that live in Oman are living a pretty fulfilled life there. Tbh it was pretty XENOPHOBIC of you to bluntly say something extremely rude about a whole section of Asia. Oman is thriving bruv and the immigrants are part of the reason why Oman is the beautiful, rich, CLEAN and industrial country it is today. Check yourself next time before you blatantly spew such hurtful things about people and places. Such disgusting and racist behaviour is never appreciated by folks around the world. I hope you have a nice day in your 'rich' country, :)

[@saihinadir]

I salute you from Algeria. Oman is a very discreet country, I mean, we hear about Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iraq, Iran in the middle-east, but rarely Oman. A friend told me Oman is like a mid-eastern Switzerland: they stay away from conflicts, they dont have major enemies, they don't engage in foreign politics and are open to visitors and businesspeople. It's nice to see a country in that region being calm and away from all the fuss and chaos taking place. Thanks for the video.

Hey, I'm glad you had such a fun time in Oman! In terms of how to use the musk, people usually put it in a small cloth or muslin bag and put that in either drawers, closets, suitcases and it will make your clothes smell great! Musk also comes in liquid form which people use as perfume or deodorant.
