Back in 2011 we took an exciting and rather terrifying road trip through Oman. On a day when we would drive 800kms, one of our tires blew out in the middle of the night. After the police came (it took about 2 hours) and aided us with a recovery vehicle ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/51-degrees-should-we-evaporate/feed/ 3 https://bkpk.me/get-off-road/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=get-off-road https://bkpk.me/get-off-road/#comments Wed, 16 Apr 2014 14:35:46 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=12102
Some years ago, we did a road trip in Oman. Actually, that was our very first trip abroad together and you can watch a video of those adventures here. We took a 4×4 and decided to make the roads and off-roads of this Middle Eastern country our own. Apart from ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/get-off-road/feed/ 2 https://bkpk.me/the-day-we-drove-1000-kms-part-22/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-day-we-drove-1000-kms-part-22 https://bkpk.me/the-day-we-drove-1000-kms-part-22/#comments Mon, 09 Dec 2013 04:51:50 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=10523
Read The day we drove 1000+ Kms, part 1/2 HERE.   Once in Salalah, our plans boiled down to something as simple as enjoying the greenery. This might sound silly if you live in the countryside or even in a city where there are trees and gardens all around.

Back in July 2011, we decided to take a trip through Oman. It was 50 degrees in Dubai and we wanted to escape the heat somehow. The only place where this was possible was Salalah in the South East of Oman. Since Avinash, one of my best friends, had grown ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/the-day-we-drove-a-1000-kms-part-1/feed/ 8 https://bkpk.me/motherly-instincts/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=motherly-instincts https://bkpk.me/motherly-instincts/#comments Fri, 18 May 2012 17:51:02 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=2406
Road tripping around Oman a couple of years ago, we went off road to the top of a mountain were we came across the people of a tiny village. These place had about 4 or 5 houses almost at the edge of a cliff that led to a canyon where ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/motherly-instincts/feed/ 0 https://bkpk.me/is-this-the-middle-east-o/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=is-this-the-middle-east-o https://bkpk.me/is-this-the-middle-east-o/#comments Fri, 11 May 2012 23:55:26 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=2252
Salalah, in Oman, is a land different from anywhere else I’ve been in the Middle East. Lush green fields, clouds moving through the streets and a temperature that is so refreshing! We were there in July 2011 and managed to escape from the 50 degree heat into wonderful 24 degree ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/is-this-the-middle-east-o/feed/ 0 https://bkpk.me/blown-out/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=blown-out https://bkpk.me/blown-out/#comments Sun, 06 May 2012 10:30:59 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=2158
We were going 160 on the highway from Muscat to Salalah. The temperature outside was around 50 degrees celsius (122 degrees F)! There was nothing but black desert all around, and then, one of our tires blew out. The closest petrol station was 300kms away on both sides and there ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/blown-out/feed/ 0 https://bkpk.me/the-white-tree-of-horror/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-white-tree-of-horror https://bkpk.me/the-white-tree-of-horror/#comments Mon, 23 Apr 2012 05:36:07 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=2052
While living in Dubai, we decided to escape the unbearable heat for a long weekend and road tripped all the way to Salalah, in the South of Oman. To enjoy the rain and greenery of this region, we ended up living a series of adventures on the road, including midnight ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/the-white-tree-of-horror/feed/ 1 https://bkpk.me/camels-near-salalah/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=camels-near-salalah https://bkpk.me/camels-near-salalah/#comments Sun, 01 Apr 2012 06:26:21 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=1614
It’s strange that living in the Arabian Desert in Dubai, you never come across that many camels. However, the scenery changes quite dramatically in Salalah, Oman. Driving down the street you will often find camels ambling up to you in large numbers. It’s truly a glorious moment to partake in ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/camels-near-salalah/feed/ 0
