ONE DAY IN OMAN: Another Side of the Middle East
Gabriel, I've been subscribed to you since around 4,000, we even had a conversation a few years back about meeting up in India. Either way I just wanted to say it has been amazing watching your channel grow over the years. Even now at 132,000 subscribers, your channel is seriously underrated. You showcase REAL traveling, and are overall just a super genuine/amazing human being. I wish you safe travels my friend, and cant wait to see the channel continue to grow. Peace
mistereddie129 I feel the same!!!! I’m glad to see his channel grow like it is! This is real and authentic traveling!
I hope he sees your comment. I feel the same! His channel is very authentic.
I wud second that ... Gabe comes across as a really decent chap
I totally loved everything. Cave, canyon, doors, people , seeing the foods. Everything.
Thanks for taking us on this epic journey with you! The longer format was awesome!
New subscriber here from Philippines 👍😁
Great, thanks.
Wow, phenomenal video! Thank you so much for putting the work into this! I think it’s one of my new favorites. The gentleman from London (via Bangladesh) seemed like a really cool guy to travel around with. Good, good stuff! 👍🏼✌🏼
Karin B Cudn’t agree more about the Gent frm London👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😄Such a chilled Guy😎
beautiful country 😍😍😍🤩
What a rocky landscape n spectacular n stunning view
Oo mann ,OMAN ..♡ from SERBYA👍
Great video of Oman. I lived in Oman 1981-82
I've don't think I've ever been more jealous of anyone else ever before. Living the life!
Thank you for NOT giving the world another glamping/camel ride video. I have nothing against either but I love when someone gives me a viewpoint from not typical tourist trip in Oman.
Great, glad you enjoyed it.
What an epic journey!! Thanks for taking us with you!
Best Middle East video you’ve done so far.
I bet when you saw that view you were like O Man! 😜
Awesome canyon it is. Thanks Gabe for taking us to great tour.
Rugged rocky...so nice to see....the sky and everything is so vast...really stunning....different...my goodness I can see why u were tired..hope you are doing well...couldn't get a better video...Thanks
Fun fact this looks almost exactly like yemen
Well done Gabe. Really enjoyed the length. I know it's a lot of work. Thank you.
That canyon was pretty epic... the buildings around this place are very interesting also... was Starky just visiting there also?
Outstanding video Gabe and a real eye opener to the beauty of Oman. Stay safe my friend!
I have been working in Oman for more than 2 yrs now and i want to share with the world vlogs about Oman just started vlogs too on my channel.
Thanks for always creating incredible videos👌
Great job on the extended video. A wonderful day of exploring. Your friend has a great sense of adventure as well. Thank you. Safe travels.
Amazing views on that train!
One of my all time favorites! Incredible!
Your best video since Thailand. Thanks for that Gabe!
Wow, what gorgeous landscapes!
The Mountains are very interestingly built. What a canyon and view. Thanks for Oman:)
AWESOME views from the canyon brother!
I'm from OMAN and I never know such places exist
Thank You for the tour!
Love your videos mate, been a regular viewer, never miss the updates. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for take us to different countries thru your videos 👍
wow.. that place was beautiful! one of your best videos!! definitely Oman will now be in my bucket list
wonderful video,Gabriel is real traveller
Very beautiful video.
Great video Bro
Such a Relaxing Video😇🌺Thank U Gabriel for all the videos👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼Sarki looked like a really chilled n great Guy as a travel buddy👬
Fantastic video thanks for showing me Oman
I wasn't sure if Oman had lived up to your expectations based on the other videos. Its certainly beautiful and interesting, but turned out to be rather expensive and sparse. Then this video. Wow. Incredible. One of my favorites. Definitely have me thinking of a Gulf nations adventure now.
Awesome video gab like always 😃
Hey Gabriel , I am a new subscriber and love your videos , excellent content brother , keep it up , much love from Scotland, take care x
Great, thanks a lot for subbing.
Gabe, I think this is my favorite video that you've done so far! Thanks!
It is one of his better ones I've seen. Obviously haven't seen all just some of the countries I've been to or am interested in.
Wow wow 😲!
Great Vid Gabe ...Never thought about visiting Oman before seeing this ..been to UAE more times than I can remember but never to Oman ...will definitely consider visiting in future
Gorgeous landscape. Reminds me of southern Utah around Moab. Oman seems like an excellent travel destination.
Barb It is. You will absolutely enjoy it.
hey, Gabriel. Been watching your channel on and off ever since you did that langtang trek and I gotta say man, the filmmaking in your videos has definitely improved. Not only the camera quality, but the way you take your shots and how information is presented. Keep up the great work!
Awesome, glad to hear it. Langtang was a while ago, four years now.
First!! Awesome as always!!
Amazing video and incredible views..oh man I'd just love to get lost in those alleys near that canyon..That abandoned village was phenomenal...definitely gunna play again that Prince Of Persia Forgotten Sand game on PlayStation tonight :) lucky you experiencing all that in real.
😊 Brilliant.
I found similar issues with eating out in various cities throughout Egypt.
Salam alaikum. It’s cool that they sit on the rug. My local halal restaurant should do that.
Oman✌❤
Wow yummy food 😋 ❤
👍🏻great video Gabe..u make the best videos very well done.. the best travel CZcams channel there is
Thanks Jessica. :) This one took a while, glad it's looking good.
Jessica G Hi Jessi ,, you must visit our country ,, you will love it ,,
Oman is near Saudi Arabia I have been to Saudi for about 2 years about 45 years ago at Taif as a carpenter. Thanks. Salam.
just awsome
Fantastic.
Gabriel, I really loved your video and that Canyon was outstanding..just love all of the honesty and time and love you put into each one of your video's..Always Keep it Real man as I know you will...
Thanks Sherry.
you're so welcome..@@GabrielTravelerVideos
Great vlog, Gabriel. These are really making me want to explore the Middle East. How has the internet bring like for uploading? I work remotely while travelling so that’s important for me.
Internet is definitely variable. In the UAE it was the best, Oman was slower, especially in Sohar. Jordan so far is slow as well, but I haven't tried at many places yet.
Gabriel Traveler thanks! :)
I felt like I was with you, amazing stuff better than the tv
Great video. It might have changed my mind on whether to go to Oman or not.
Gabe! Thanks for showing footage from Oman. I`ve actually just booked a flight to Oman, just from watching your vids. Very interesting
Right on, that's great. Have a nice time. Where are you flying there from?
rent a care do not make Gabriel mistake hahah :)
Travel in Russia and the Baltics this summer. Best time of the year to visit and you've never been there.
Wow i love that castle!! i always prefer to visit and look for a high place as a mountian and castle on hills or montain! )) i feel like i am in ancient movie as Harry Potter hah))
Amazing Canyon and very interesting village landscape. Looks like you found good companion for the ride. A Bangladesi /Londoner tourist deep in Oman ? Interesting.
The was quite a feast you had at the end but I am not sure how authentic an Omani fare it was. Chicken masala and calamari fry does not sound like it but I am sure you enjoyed it.
Salam Walekum, Walekum Salam
al Salam alekum , walekum al salam
Gabe you remind me of a dashing young Lawrence of Arabia. Now all you need is a Keffiyeh to wear on ya head to seal the deal.
J. Rod fuck lawrence
Pardon?
This video should go viral
I didn't know Oman is this beautiful, although I am Omani.. but from Muscat.
We want you to make a video similar to this one about Muscat.
Did you see this one?
czcams.com/video/kLpkGekpc5w/video.html
Gabriel Traveler Yes
I saw that video but Muscat has more than that
What you have showed doesn't exceed 10% of the beauty of Muscat
I'm sure that's true.
I lived in Jabal Akhdar.. I would love to show you around
hay gab .....jebel shams is awsome ...and bahla fort is very very nice ........
Glad you got the chance to see that part of Oman. As you've mentioned in the video, the best way is to rent a car and explore. Btw, that's only 10% of what Oman has to offer :-)
Go to Algeria Gabe, you will.love it. IBN fatouta made 12 videos and enjoyed Algeria.
Sa-lam a lay koom! or wa-lay koom sa lam! Ive forgotten already 😄😰
"Oman's rich and Bangladesh's poor, remember that." That might be true, but not all Omani's are rich. Most of the Omani's are drowning in seas of debt just like the westerners. We're no different.
Thank you for visiting Oman, Gabriel. I know how frustrating it may be for people to visit Oman. Transportation is probably the most problematic thing, renting a car is the best option for those who are thinking about visiting Oman.
I've been so inspired by all your videos and am now planning my journey. I have been researching a lot lately and I'm hoping for input from you or your followers about how you book your flights from place to place. Do you use open ended or when you're done with a particular destination, do you then buy an onward ticket either to a new destination or back to home destination, etc? Looking to get the most bang for my buck and yo make my journey as long as possible in doing so. Thanks to all in advance!
I book my flights one at a time. Especially if you're flexible with your time and destinations it's the best way to go. Check skyscanner and plug in your departure city and then "Everywhere" to see the cheapest flights to places all over the world. If you're on a specific time schedule then you'll probably want to book flights in advance, but otherwise you can leave them open and book a week or two before you want to fly. There are a few exceptions for countries that require an onward flight to be booked such as the Philippines, Indonesia, Colombia, etc. Before flying to any country you will want to do a little research about the requirements for entry, as well as visas. Have an awesome trip!
Gabriel Traveler Thanks so much for taking the time to respond! Looking forward to more of your videos in the mean time
With the food do you eat it with you hands or utensils? The cave was cool.
Did you buy Aladdin lamp Gabriel?
that was some amazing scenery! btw how do you find the difference in living standard between Oman and Jordan?
Living standards in Oman and UAE are definitely a lot higher.
Gabriel come to Angola!! :)
🇴🇲💓
Hi Gabriel
I so love your channel, i have been watching most of your video's so far since a couple of weeks now.it started with the vids from Greece.
I needed to see some sunny vids because it's wintertime in the Netherlands right now and I was searching for Paros and came across your channel.By the way I made a booking via the link Booking.com you mentioned for a $20 (€15) discount , so thxs a lot☺ If i'm correct but i am not sure you will get the same amount too for referring ,so viewers use the link for your upcoming travels! It is a good and safe site .
PS love tot see your upcoming video about Petra as you can see my first name is Petra as well, it's a very common first name in the Netherlands Must go there myself some day but I'll let you check out first!
Safe travels and greetings from Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Great, glad you're enjoying them. Yes I should get $20 too so it's definitely a win-win. Petra, cool name, didn't know it was also Dutch.
Amazing video
Just an off topic FYI: USA citizens can again obtain on arrival and eVisas for Turkey. The USA and Turkey have lifted the ban that went into effect back in October.
$20 for multiple entry, 90 days total within a 180 day period. Good news from about 10 days ago👍
Awesome, thanks a lot for that. I'll definitely keep it in mind.
So what you think Gabriel .
Should I visit Oman?
Hi Gabe, how much you paid the guide for the day to take you around ? Maybe you mentioned it and i missed it. Thanks. Safe travels
I didn't pay anything because Sarkey wasn't a guide. He was a tourist who had a rental car and invited me to join him. However I did pay for his dinner as a thank you. And we paid $20 each for the guy who gave us a ride out to the canyon.
Gabriel Traveler ....🙏👍 Safe travels Gab. Thanks for the reply. Love your videos.
Would you mind sharing what video editing softwares you use? Thanks in advance!
Videopad.
Hey , the place where you went is quick meal my favorite roasted chicken,did you go there?
👍👍🇴🇲
Was that your longest single CZcams video? I think it's the longest that I've seen...I hope you don't mind if I take bathroom break 😜
No, I have a bunch of longer ones:
czcams.com/video/HH9RtNFOrk8/video.html
Jebel Shams!
When will you visit Saudi Arabia?
Get a gimble/video stabilizer for your GoPro man, awesome content but not smooth video
Hey Gabriel, im travelling to the US sometime around August this year and i have a couple of questions. Do you have an email i could contact you on?
Surprised the 4x4 driver didnt recognise yr name more easily ... Gabriel ...in the Muslim world is pronounced - Jibril
IE The Angel Gabriel in Islam is referred to as - Angel Jibril
Was that sheer luck that you found someone to take you to the top of the canyon?
Pretty much. I think those guys might hang around that area where we parked offering rides to tourists. We just happened to pull into that spot though to try and figure out where we were and which way to go from there. Basically it was lucky timing it seemed.
*Gabe's Going: "Down Under"*
♫♫ Traveling in a fried-out Kombi
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
♫ Lyin' in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty
And he said
♫ Do you come from a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover ♫ ♫
Good one. I had that album when it came out back in....'82? Somewhere around there.
Thanks there, Gabe. Hope you are considering the Outback of Australia for ya next destination. As you may already know, it has very trippy geography.
I visited Muscat last December and I was looking for a decent Omani restaurant everywhere
Bin Ateeq food was really bad experience🤒
I'm from UAE and Emarati food is delicious and available and very easy to find!
love your video
Thanks for sharing
HerHighnesss88 Emarti food and Omani food are same
Dwd Hb No, only few similar dishes
😂 we have the same dishes just some are with different names. So what are u talking about ?! + it would have been much easier for you if u just asked or searched online for a "decent" restaurants . Same food but more effort in presentation..that's it
you mean from Omani beach
Where is ash sharqia reagion ? It is the best in north of oman...
You said hello to the camels, and they did not say hello back to you. How rude!😜🐪
If you ever find yourself in Ibra (North Sharqiya), please feel free to contact me. I will be able to help you get accommodation and other things at reasonable prices and if possible, I might even give you a tour of Ibra and the places around. Loved your videos.
could you go to jebel shams? it is a restricted area and you need permissions. I believe it snows sometimes in jebel shams
Correct, I don't think you can go there, it's a restricted military area.
I saw notice board saying "make sure you are wearing long skirts and cloths" , but your friend with you is wearing shorts - is it fine in Middle east or no ?
Chetan Khatri women tourists sometimes wear too short and it bothers the locals. It's a matter of respect that's all .
