I am still waiting for the arrival of my motorcycle Basanti, so this is another day of riding with Peter from Oryx Adventures (https://www.oryxadventures.com). As he is teaching me new techniques which I can put into practice, he is slowly choosing more difficult terrains for me to try. Today we are riding around Jebel Shams, a mountain located in northeastern Oman and 240 kilometers from Muscat. It is the highest mountain of the Hajar range and the country, and the third highest in Arabian Peninsula. Because it's quite far from Muscat and the road towards it is all highway, we do the first two hours by car. I didn't know this area is also called the Grand Canyon of Oman, but when I saw it for the first time, I immediately thought: this looks like the Grand Canyon! I'd heard from other travellers that Oman was a beautiful country, but nothing prepared me for the beauty of these mountains!!
Good morning Internet, it is 7.18 in the morning and welcome back to the channel
If you're new to the channel, I am still waiting for Basanti
So in the meantime, I am riding with Peter from Oryx Adventures
and he is showing me all the beautiful, beautiful wadis around here, around Muscat
So today we're going to ride again, I think this one is a bit further away this wadi
but it should be super beautiful as well, so let's go
Thank you, perfect, see you, good morning
It's the oldest known village in Oman
Wow, nobody lives there anymore
Looks amazing
So this is why it's called Wadi Gol
Yes, let's go
That was really nice
All the way from there?
Or did we come from there?
Came from this
Oh yeah, those corners are really fun to ride
You got the hang of it, you look like you're doing well
Yeah, it feels alright, yeah
Wow, it's like the Grand Canyon
So this is the last stop of today, just to watch the sunset here
It really was an amazing day, I learned a lot of new techniques
especially taking hairpin corners on sand and gravel
So that was super useful and also Peter taught me some extra techniques
how to go down a steep slope very slowly and still keep control of the bike
So those are probably skills that I will need when I'll be riding up in the stunts
So that was super useful and yeah, the off-road riding was just amazing today
I really loved it
And we're now just gonna watch the sunset and then head back to Muscat
So super nice day, so
