My friend Jakob just got back from a Motorcycle trip to Oman with his friend Mats and they were kind enough to share their photos and some words about their adventures on DERESTRICTED. Some gems in here, so dig in!:

Such an incredible country for those who are seeking vast landscapes and adventure. Oman is almost the size of Germany but with only a population 2,7mil people.

It´s a privilege to discover this scenically rich country with its pure wadis, empty beaches, endless deserts and rough mountains – especially if your choice of transportation is an enduro bike.

Shipping 4 bikes (KTM 950 ADVENTURE S, KTM640 ADVENTURE, KTM690 ENDURO with RALLY conversion, BMW1200GS with 21”,18” WHEEL CONVERSION) from Germany to Oman with http://www.einfach-losfahren.de/ (excellent service) the trip started on December 26th 2013 in the capital Muscat.

The journey took us all across the whole country down to the very south – Salala. Most of it was Off Road experiencing the steep dirt roads of the Al Hajar Mountains, the wet wadis and the open sandy desserts Wahiba Sands and parts of the Rub al-Chali. Total distance of the round trip is about 4250km. It is a true Off Road paradise with very little restrictions.

Winter Temperature is very enjoyable having temperatures ranging from 19-26°C. And the best thing about Oman: Omani people are very friendly and helpful. Gives you a delightful contrast to Austria!
