Oman
,no edit summary
I hitched a hundred thousand kilometers on this planet and Oman beats it all. Yes, part of it may be since I like arabian culture, but there's more to it. People, especially in the southern half, are so warm and hospitable, simply want to help where they can and satisfy their genuine curiousity, ''while'' actually remaining respectful. In some other places on earth I've met a massive hospitality, that however was bigger than freedom of both host and guest. In Oman I (male...) felt accepted and tolerated and no one seemed to try to force their culture/mind/thought-of-what's-right-and-wrong on me. <br/>
The country's safe and clean (even kinda proper and made up here and there), wildcamping wasn't a deal at all. Weather will be '''very''' hot in summer, best time temperaturewise is November through February/ March. ===[[Martin]]=== I landed in Dubai and got a stamp for free since they now have an agreement with Schengen citizens. I then hitchhiked from there to the Hatta border in Oman and I got a free 21-days visa on the border. However, you first have to get out of UAE and cross the border checkpoint where you'll have to pay something like 7 euros. I think they give it back to you if you keep the paper and go back to the UAE but I'm not sure since I then took a plane from Oman. That was in January 2018 and it was really easy. The border officers were interested in my trip from France to India hitchhiking. There are a few kilometers between the UAE border and the Omani border. Try to get a car before the UAE border or just catch a truck in between! Enjoy Oman, really nice place to travel and meet local people. Nature is also amazing!
