- Filmed in March, 2020 - Come along for a tour of our LUXURY desert tiny home here in Oman! We loved eating some delicious food and taking a break from wild camping, but at $250/night, is it worth it?? Or are we better off roughing it in our rooftop tent? Either way, Oman is DEFINITELY worth traveling to after Quarantine!

meals included, that’s adds to the value
$125 a night per person to have a unique experience. Plus they fed you. It's a bargain.
To be honest it would cost substantially more for a hotel room in Boston that included a dinner and breakfast buffet of that quality. (And there wouldn't be any camel parking either. ) Thanks for the videos especially for a place that I doubt will ever make it on my list but certainly seems fascinating.
I'd take the Camel anyway, Just to see the look of the Boston Valet parking guys face....
I find these two complain a lot when they do the so called "Nomad" or cheaper stuff because it's less comfortable, few amenities, bugs, small spaces, lower quality food/service, etc and that is probably most of the time since they rarely pay premium or splurge as they say because they are on a tight budget and are probably just scraping by in this new "occupation" they have chosen. Bottom line is you get what you pay for and they will never be truly satisfied and complaint free with what they can or are willing to spend on and not.
We hadn't considered Oman as a destination until seeing your series. Great stuff and thanks for the great videos!
You are welcome anytime.
It's midnight in where i live. But i aint sleep until i watch my favourite travel couple!
Love from malaysia 🇲🇾
Hope we didn't make you too sleepy the next day! Thanks so much for your support 🙌
Oman is really beautiful, i have visited a few times n really loved it. Your vlogs are amazing, helping us see positive videos in the lockdown. Keep sharing positive vlogs. - Love & respect from Bangladesh.
Always nice to take a break from roughing it and splurge on some comfort! An oasis! Great food too, the lamb looked delish! It's all good, lol. Thanks for sharing!
I could watch your desert adventure videos all day. I’m absolutely intrigued by Oman. The hotel was a nice change for sure! Keep on traveling and living your best lives 🙌💯☀️🐪
Glad you're enjoying the Oman series! We're definitely missing our adventures, but know we're super lucky to have had so many to look back on :)
It's amazing how ahead of us you were in producing future episodes. Editing and re watching all this must drive you two crazy wanting to get back out there.
We're just thankful to see this fun desert series😊
Stay safe, James and Kim
It's definitely making us sad that we're missing so many adventures we had planned for the year, but we're really glad and thankful that we were able to see and do so much before everything shut down. We'd actually stored up content because we were planning on taking some time off in April/May...we just didn't realize how much time off was in store 😅
This looks so amazing! Gives me definite wanderlust!
Same
The bedouin camping experience is quite popular here in the UAE as well. Your deluxe room is so nice! Sweet shower! Awesome sunset drone shots. With all the sand, did you use a GoPro on your walk to dinner (instead of your Sony)?
Looks like another awesome adventure!
Oman looks incredible! I definitely want to get out there soon! ❤️ now time to finish this vlog!
Oman is amazing - hopefully you get to visit in the future :)
It’s sos nice when you have your own bathroom and a nice shower and AC …..sooooo nice.
This looks fun, i liked how your showing the different types of camps. Didn't know ther were multiple option something to keep in mind. Thanks!
Oh ya, there are tons of desert camps to try out! We wish we'd had more time to try out some more. Maybe you can do that for us ;)
The whole family loves keeping up with your adventures. Here's to more adventures in 2020! 🍸🍸🍸
So glad you're all enjoying it! 🙌Definitely itching to get back out there, but until then, we're happy to have so many fun adventures to look back on 😊
You get to see and experience this first hand. Joy. Thank you both very much .😘😎 You keep it real. ❤
Really enjoying your footage. I went back to your videos from Italy to present (in this quarantining) its been a great way to think of where I'll go when we can all hit the road again.much love from Tahoe, CA.
Woah, I didn't even know they hit Italy
Oh wow! That looks amazing! I love watching you two travel the world! I’m working my way through your videos from the beginning! I’d love to know why you chose to be vegetarian and then why you chose to stop being vegetarian. Also, I’d love to see a tattoo tour (all of your tattoos with what they mean to you).
i think the cost is TOTALLY WORTH IT!!
great video!
Looks amazing! Very inspiring for small travel CZcamsrs like us 🙏😊
Those beetle tracks were pretty neat.
And y'all deserved a nice place after camping. 😍🤩
Awesome! I truly enjoyed that drone footage.🛫🛫🛫 Who would have thought of a luxury oasis in the desert?! 🤷🏿♂️Very unique and interesting. 🤔 That buffet looked awesome. 🥘 I could imagine the refreshing feeling of having an iced cold beer, after a period of time. 🍺🍺🍺 Can't wait for the next vlog. 😎
It was for sure a very welcomed treat! 🍻The drone was amazing to have in Oman...you really get a sense of just how big and desolate the desert is! 🐪
Loving this series! Also great music choice for the camel footage😆🐪!
Awesome, thanks!!
going to Oman in a couple of days. Can't wait
Thanks again for traveling for us
We're all in this together 🌎✌️
That’s so awesome! I want to go there!
Always good to experience both, the luxury and the wild. You especially appreciate a shower!!
Very true!! We love trying to get a little taste of everything and Oman was a perfect country to try it all 😍
You are enjoying lockdown finally!
This part of your Oman trip was so good to see! I loved the luxury tent you stayed in, it looked spacious and really beautiful, also the fact you get buffet breakfast and dinner included is actually really good for the price I think! Just makes me want to go to Oman more! Petting a camel was actually so cute! 🥰 also side note for Alison, come to the uk and have something called a Sunday dinner, you can have all the lamb you could want! ;) 🥰🥰🥰 loving Oman you guys!
Petting Sahood (the camel) was maybe the highlight of our stay there! 😂🐪Well, that and the food...and beer...and clean bed...and warm shower...okay, I guess we actually really enjoyed our time at the camp! 😆Definitely hope to be eating lots of Sunday dinners int he future 🤤
🐫 Def looked worth it to me! Would have loved to hear what other “excursions” they offered beside the sunset experience
Great video! I would pay that much to stay there! Nice retreat!
Hope you guys are staying well! Your travel videos have been a great source of escapism while locked down in the UK. If you ever find yourself in Hastings UK in need of a local guide to the coast let me know!
Wow! That was a crazy trip! I think everyone had an insane story about leaving wherever they were to head back to the US during all this craziness! Glad y’all made it safely though, even if it was drone-less! 😏😉
Love it that after all your adventures you still take time to appreciate the little things, like the insect and petting the camels, btw that waffle looked out of this world! Looking forward to more videos from you both in the future, what ever it'll be.
New subscribers here! We absolutely love your videos! Random question, but I’m curious where does Allison get all her amazing skirts from? Adore them! Thanks for providing great content, and I can’t wait to see where you go next when you’re able to travel again!
This looks cool 😊
Desert Night Camps is cheaper than 1000 Nights camp. Im planning my Oman soon..🥰😍 and this Desert Night Camp is in my list..can't wait..
Ann Catherine welcome to Oman 🇴🇲
Dang that endless desert is wild lookin!
Used to live in Oman as expats went there as part of dads work and we visited this place pretty long way from Muscat but definitely worth it since you get air conditioning and your own beds
Those waffles 😍
You guys are awesome. I just discovered your channel yesterday. I wish I had known about that trip to Guatape in Colombia earlier this year. I would of loved to go, I'll keep an eye out for future ones. Anyhow stay healthy. And y'all love beer too. My kind of peeps
Welcome to the adventure! We're sad we had to cancel the trip, but we definitely hope to reschedule it, maybe in 2021. We'd love to have you along! 🙌
@@Theendlessadventure Thank you, let's hope things get better,🤞
Nice video about Oman I like it
Thanks for sharing this and YES TOTALLY WORTH IT ...a shower and AC OMG $250 a night in the Oman desert where temperatures get to 110 at night sometimes .YES ...and I so wanna go ...
Nope in the winter it’s really cold ,, and most people go to the desert in the winter season,, in the summer people go to Salalah in the south of Oman ,, search Salalah you’ll be surprised of how in the summer it turns cold and green 😍
You get breakfast and dinner for the price. Seems good value to me.
I heart you guys. Keep it up.
We heart you too.
This makes me want to go to Oman! It was never on my list - awesome video guys :)
Same
You welcome any time 🌹
A shower, good food and beer in the middle of the desert? Priceless
As a tip, if you paste a $1000 bill on your forehead the experience gets even better.
I stayed at this camp 2 years ago. I enjoyed very much, the food was very good
Was it cheaper 2 years ago?
Yes of course it is worth it
I am also hopping to go there soon after i finish my Australia tour😊
Love the Oman videos. I lived in Oman1981
It's definitely on my bucket list now
That shower made it worth it!
I was so invested in this video that it seemed to go by in 5mins rather than 15! You make everything so fun and interesting. We normally wouldn't spend $150 on a hotel, let alone $250; but seeing as the food was included, it might be worth it. I think it depends on a person's comfort level (being in a new environment, sand in cracks, etc) on whether or not it's worth the cost. The room and food did look nice, though!
The jokes though, killing me! That lamb looked so good :D
Starving
😂 glad our cheesy jokes can give you a good chuckle!
Why not splash out 🥰 looks amazing. But i can understand you wanting to “”rough it more 😜 .
Lookforward to next video. Well done with kinging it Quiz you both did Amazingly 👏
Nothing wrong with a little luxury now and then! 💁♀️💁♂️😝Glad you enjoyed the Skillympics! It was so much fun to shoot!
The Endless Adventure No so true nothing like a little luxury and spoil your selfs time to time .
How you both doing in the lockdown ? Finding plenty to do 🤔 take care .
the barbican. you should definitely try it if youre in oman
Gotta love luxury!
I had no idea lamb wasn't as common in the US, it's a really nice meat when done right
MrKiingpin It’s not that common in restaurants but I buy it in the grocery store about twice a month.
i guess it is too hot there for sheep for the most part
Mind you it is even hotter in Oman!! I mean you have the shepards from biblical times, I dunno how the sheep managed. Maybe if they were high up it would be cooler?
fire up some lamb chop on this grill. all you need is salt, pepper and low-medium heat
@Craig true lol
Looks fabulous, have to try a range of experiences, basic to luxury , wouldn’t want either all the time but good to try it all, plus having a good shower.....worth it
Haha, the shower was so nice! We're getting better at roughing it and enjoy pushing ourselves out of our comfort zones, but we definitely still enjoy a nicer experience from time to time 😊
Never underestimate the power of a hot shower after days of camping🛀! Still, like you both communicated, I think I like the idea of tent/car camping over a more luxurious stay. There is something so gratifying and life-affirming to feel so disconnected from the 'civilized' world and feel more connected to the natural world. But I appreciate your willingness to try different experiences to show your viewers the different amenities Oman has to offer! And I'm so happy to see you met some camel friends! 🐪🐪🐪 I can't wait until the next video! 👍
Could not have said it better myself
I vote for rooftop tent and camping in the middle of nowhere!!! Oman is the best place for that. Can't wait for the next one, hope for Jebel (not luxurious) Shams!!! ❤
We don't want to spoil too much, but more rooftop camping and mountains are definitely in the future 😉
You’d pay that much for a beer at a concert or sporting event so I wouldn’t bat an eye at the price. It’s all about the convenience and availability. I think the lodging price was definitely worth it, since two meals were included. The room looked spectacular and as you said you’re in the middle of the desert with AC, hot water and a comfy bed. What a great adventure! ❤️🤙🏼
I've always wondered how you guys expose all your shot so well on the A7iii since it doesnt have a flip out screen! Do you use auto exposure?
That’s a very reasonable price. Plus you get the meals too.
Love your vids. Lamb shouldn't be chewy,. It is normally much more tender than beef. It is also healthier than beef. Room seems good value as it included a great buffet breakfast and dinner. We paid 220 US a night in anchorage for a 2 star room and a very ordinary continental breakfast.
your should really experience the dessert in Morocco though !! i think it's more authentic with also a lot of luxurious amenities ;)
love the Oman series above all, wish you the best of luck guys :)
if it happens that you're thinking about morocco at some point hit us up we'll be happy to find a way to collaborate
Me encantan vuestras publicaciones, la calidad de los videos es maravilloso. Me gustaría saber por favor con qué software de video realizáis los títulos, por ejemplo el del inicio de este video, cuál es el programa de edición de títulos, y en concreto ese efecto?
Best regards from Spain. Thanks
There is amazing places in Oman, you don’t visit until now. I hope you watched my country nicely and friendly.
I've had those Malt Beverages before. I used to get them at a Middle Eastern grocery store in my college town (before I turned 21). They're not bad, the smell can be a bit funky though if you leave it opened for a while (Like malt vinegar :-/)
Oh weird! We probably should have tried one so we could know! Next time, for sure 👍
Love from karachi 😍😍😍😍
Gorgeous drone shots. How much do you normally spend per night on average? We watch your travels closely as we want to travel full time. We are interested in your travel budget. Your videos are very inspirational. Your quality is outstanding and your on camera personalities are terrific. Allison you are the modern-hipster Samantha Brown.
Thanks so much for the comment, Erin!! 🥰 Hopefully you're able to start traveling soon enough! Nightly costs unfortunately vary dramatically depending on the country and how far in advance we book, but typically we're in a $25-50/night range 👍
Allison: Where is that flowy blue shirt from? The one you're wearing when you arrived. It's so beautiful! On my want list!
I'm from Tennessee and I have no plans to go to Oman, but now thanks to you, if I do I'll know to skip the $250.00 a night luxury tent😁
Count me in!
wow nice insights
Agreed
I can see why they charge that much. Building and supporting such a space is probably hard and expensive in the desert. It looks really nice and the food looked delicious. I would probably splurge, especially I'd I had a bunch of sand in my hair from previous nights. Lol
To a certain extent. A plumbing system would have been difficult to plan, but architecturally speaking, the buildings seem durable and standard.
@@RockTheParkOfficial 👍
Bedroom looks nice
It looks cool
How did you guys visit Oman in this Corona summer? . Because of this question is video update just before 3 hours.
Oman's got Eric looking straight up manly! 14:14 Is it the tan? How tall he looks? The lighting in the car? 👀
Did you walk into that risen sand mauntain.. I walked there befor and it was so hard and it took about 40 minutes to be on top 😟😅
I just want to let you both know that midway through your last video I decided to buy the rav4 hybrid. 4 hours later it was added to our vehicles lol 😂 you should be given a credit for showing off the vehicle @toyota
No way! 😂 Hope you're enjoying it! 🚙
The Endless Adventure yes way!! 😂 such a random buy but why not. Definitely a fun suv with great handling too add to the other cars. Thanks for all you both do! Keep the great content coming 🙌🏾
for some reason, it reminds me of the Wig Wam Hotel on Route 66
Sounds like a great deal for US standards, but that is equivalent to 2X the monthly wage of a full-time employee earning minimum wage there (e.g. the blue collar employees who work at the hotel). Thanks for making and sharing this video. Going to add OMAN and this hotel to my bucket list :)
Awww this is b4 they decided they wanted ur drone.
Omg I can’t believe you paid $8 for a tiger beer haha. In Vietnam I remember they were like .50 cents 😅 this place looks amazing though have to add it to my list
Haha import/export economy
Two questions
1)how do you drown and drive and the same time im always curious
2)how does it work out with gas once you in dessert out of curiosity please answer
hi Eric & Alison im sure the Kardashians have stayed here as im sure it appeared in one of their Vacation series on tv, I might be wrong though
You can have the Desert....I was in Iraq and I hate the desert....God Bless you
Oman is a beautiful place without doubt.But having lived here for many years I would understand why travellers will be turned off by it because the hotels are unecessarilly pricey and public transportation is poor.Unless those two aspects are improved,It has a long way to go before it can catch up to Srilanka,Pakistan or India in getting travellers or backpackers to visit
Would we stay at a luxury resort in the sand dunes, OH YA! After years of dune bugging in the Mohave Desert, I know how great it would be to be pampered even for just one night without sand in every part of your body! Saying that your video was so great. It was so beautiful and your use of the drone was excellent, especially considering the wind to contend with. Hope you are both doing good. Take Care.
Oh ya, beach sand is one thing, but desert sand is a whole other beast. 😮Definitely enjoyed a night without too much of it in our hair/nose/eyes/ears.... 😅 So glad you're enjoying the Oman adventures. Drones and desert camps are a match made in heaven 😍
Having dessert in the desert :p
It seemed overpriced to me. But seeing the meals were also included, I guess it's not too bad.
I don't think it was too bad
The campsite does look nice but it is kind of expensive maybe $100USD. I can understand about the alcohol being that price because they really don't have that there as much & the food look really good. Be safe.
TOTALLY worth it... how was it traveling there? Did you feel safe?
I have to giggle about the lamb. We have it regularly and i view it as a bit of a budget meat here in Australia. Although we do like to indulge in lamb rack at times which is pricey
but it's so good
New subscriber here. Your $250 is all worth it I think.
umm ali has an interesting story behind it. Umm Ali ordered the dessert to be made when her son became Sultan, after she murdered the Sultana (shajarat al dur) while she was bathing by beating her with wooden sandals. (this is a quick summary, there is a whole back story behind it haha)
What a great experience! Would love to do this one day 🙏 maybe my travels will bring me here in 2021 🤞😃
P.s I'm a new British CZcamsr 😊👍
Brendan James Vlog hopeful
@FAYAZ AHAMED 😊👍
@@gillowens24 fingers crossed 🤞
Where does all the water come from?
Louise Bean this camp has a pipe coming to it from the closest town.
👍👍👍
Not too bad for alcohol, in Dubai it's about $15 for a beer
I started watching your videos, got really into at at thought to myself, "Please Don`t be vegan, please don`t be vegan", then you eat some lamb. Subscribed!!!
Yon need to Check out a place "wadi shab" in arabic "وادي شاب" it so Beautiful...... 💕👍
Thanks for the recommendation! We definitely hope to visit more wadi's next time we're through 😍
