Bikepacking Oman: Cycling through the landscapes of Arabia
Karsten and Sandra Rüter take the audience in Landshut on an impressive cycling journey through Oman. Their travel report combines adventure, cultural discoveries, and spectacular landscape images from a country between incense tradition, desert paths, and green oases.
From Muscat to the great landscapes of Oman
The journey begins in Muscat, the modern capital of the Sultanate. From there, the route leads into impressive mountainous landscapes and to historical and geographical highlights of the country. The images convey authentic impressions of a region where Arab culture, barren nature, and centuries-old trade routes converge.
Jebel Shams and the Grand Canyon of Arabia
A highlight of the trip is Jebel Shams, which at about 3000 meters is the highest mountain in Oman. Equally impressive is the Grand Canyon of Arabia: A gorge up to a thousand meters deep shapes the landscape and makes the dimensions of the Hajar Mountains immediately palpable.
Desert, incense, and green wadis
In the Wahiba Sands, the endless expanse of the Omani desert opens up. Sand plains, intense light atmospheres, and quiet horizons form a strong contrast to the ever-green wadis. These watercourses and oases are among the special natural experiences of the trip and showcase the surprising diversity of Oman.
A travel lecture full of discovery moments
The lecture combines personal travel experience with insights into local history, cultural heritage, and the special habitats of the Sultanate. The audience experiences a varied image journey from the coast over the high mountains to the desert and discovers Oman from the perspective of two cyclists.
Conclusion: Bikepacking Oman promises an inspiring discovery experience with spectacular landscapes, authentic travel impressions, and fascinating insights into an extraordinary travel country. Secure your spot and embark on a visual journey through Oman at the Volkshochschule Landshut.
