In this episode of the Amateur Traveler podcast, we explore a two-week road trip through Oman, a country offering dramatic mountains, turquoise wadis, pristine deserts, and a warm culture rooted in Ibadism. Max shares his favorite country in the world, guiding us through a self-drive adventure with a 4x4, rooftop tent, and plenty of memorable encounters.



  • An authentic Middle Eastern experience, very different from Dubai

  • 2,000 km of coastline, mountains, wadis, and deserts

  • One of the safest countries in the world, often called the “Switzerland of the Middle East”

  • Rich history: oldest independent state in the Arab world

  • Wild camping is legal almost everywhere
