In this video I show how much things cost in Muscat, the capital of Oman.

you are really working hard. wish you had more subscribers man seriously.

I used to work the night shift actually, that was what paid for my travels until youtube took off. And yes being a travel vlogger is more grueling than people might realize, especially posting videos almost daily. I’m always behind with the videos and trying to catch up, work late into the night, don’t get enough sleep, get up and go explore and hike all over the place filming, dealing with unfamiliar places and situations, no regular reliable routine, etc. However not complaining at all, it’s the ultimate job and beats the hell out of any 9-5 (or night shift) grind. I’m lucky as heck to be doing this.
Gabriel Traveler
Thanks. I’m still 45 actually, will be 46 in a few months.

Baisa originally means paisa as Oman used Indian rupee during British rule and since then they still use the paisa or as they call now Baisa as in Arabic the the no letter P so say pronounce it as B.
Gabriel Traveler
I see, that makes sense.

Indeed, Arabs call their Papa as Baba

I don’t know if I just loved the hustle and bustle of your India videos too much but I feel like Oman is not a very fun country. Except your hike with the last video was amazing!
Tim Blanks
The Al Falaj hotel lies in Ruwi, which has a very vibrant Indian expat population and lots of Indian restaurants.

Oman is a very fun country.. Going to the Souks or any other adventures.
Steve Cherches
Oman is an amazing country, and there’s plenty to do in Muscat as well. Do not judge Oman based on this video. The location is a residential neighborhood that isn’t near anything special. Explore other Oman vids. Lots of outdoor stuff to do for free. Beach, canyons, desert, hiking, swimming, camping, and more.
OMAR
LILIANA SURIEL Oman is the most fun country in the Middle East.
Oman is not expensive you just have to look around.
LILIANA SURIEL
Everything seems to be closed al the time. So annoying
Ms Sunshine
Stop spreading false information about my country!! what did you find closed exactly ????
Ms Sunshine
Jemaa Kasaras Yes I’m, and everything is open, only from 12-3 pm on Friday prayer time some stores are closed.

Why don’t you rent a car? It’s probably ways cheaper than taking the taxi. And you go where ever you want with a car.
Gabriel Traveler
Even better: today I explored with someone else who had rented a car. 🙂
jiji309
It’s expensive because the Omani Riyal is the second highest currency in the world after the Kuwaiti Dinar!
Spidy Man
Yep
Alex Eat-Sand
I did not like this video because Muscat is never like this
in fact Muscat is very cheap
Also about the Taxi you have to negotiate about the price before riding the taxi
and if the taxi driver refused about the price you offered , then say okay i will find another Taxi

omanitrad
ryan persaud it is the old part of the city, and I think it is coz weekend, most of the people returning to countryside

See my other video from Oman, it’s more interesting. This is a residential area (which I admit sounds strange since you don’t see very many residents.) Here’s the other one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLpkGekpc5w

It’s extremely hot during the day.
Prune Tracy
I’m so happy to see your channel blew up, man. I remember the early days.

Do people in Oman have social anxiety? It seems empty almost everywhere I see. And Muscat being the capital I would have thought it be very busy and full of people.
Christopher George
angel m. I thought so too.
Steve Cherches
angel m. It all depends on where you go. It actually gets busy later at night, partly because it’s usually very hot there. The best part of Oman is traveling outdoors to beaches, desert, and canyons… all within a few hours (sometimes minutes) from Muscat.
S.z.F !
lol it depends on wt time u go out.
Jen C.
Hi Gabriel, I believe I travel the world vicariously through you. Your hard work is noticed. Don’t forget to come back home and file your taxes. Hehehe. Take care! 🙂
Gabriel Traveler
Yeah that will probably be what brings me back home in the next couple months. Lots more coming from Oman, had an epic day today. I’m two videos behind now, haven’t had time to edit.

I use booking sites only as guide. Book direct with hotel via phone and always get a better rate.
Salim Al Ruqaishi
Hello all, I am Omani citizen. After watching this video for Mr. Gabriel , I was able to note that he had stayed in Ruwi area which non of many Omanis are living there and there is nothing much to do in Ruwi. Plus, I think it was during Friday morning where it is consider a day off in the Sultanate. Every one is resting. If he could planned for staying in Shatti Al Qurum where the beauty of muscat speaks, he would enjoy it much rather than ruwi. Regarding the transportation, I admit it it is a bit expensive but he could burning more (2 Rials for a short trip from hotel to the bus station is freaking expensive I would not think of riding with him). It should be around 400 to 500 Baisa or even less. Regarding food, it is not expensive at all. If you decide to eat in a hotel it will be definitely expensive.
Oman its a beautiful country where you can find many tourist attractions such traditional markets, beaches, mountains, valleys, greeneries, sand dunes, etc..
Oman welcomes everyone. Our Country is yours to enjoy.
Thanks.
