In the afternoon we went by car to Dubai Mall wete we took a taxi to take us to the Museum of Future. I got the tickets for us a while ago as it was a very popular place - sort of must-visit. We were super curious what to expect. First we had to get our tickets at a machine, whete we hadtp leave our...

Being a tourist
Today I planned to visit the main atteaction of Dubai. In order to see and know more I booked with GetyourGuide a ticket for the Hop on/Hop off bus. Damian would join me, so we agreed to meet at Dubai Mall at the ticket office at 14h00. As I didn't want to go in my biking gear (=sauna suit) I wanted...
Phone Saga continues
The saga about a new mobile... It all started with my Samsung A52 to make blurred pictures, and not focussing anymore. It got really bad on my way to Salalah. I guess that phone isnot meant to rattle all day on a motorbike in severe heat for the past 6 months 🙄🤔🤓 So the best was to get a new one...

Fujairahh - Ras Al Khaimah
In the end I stayed one more night at the Ibis in Fujairah. The plan was to see the traditional bullfight there in the afternoon. As I was concerned to find a camping spot after, that is why another night. So about 15h00 I left the hotel to get my DU mobile SIM card activated/topped up. The shop wor...
OMAN - UAE
I stayed another night in Sohar as the weather forecast was not good, it even was raining when I came back from the Mosque. So I played it save, but in the end, it didn't rain... This morning, after all packed, I went towards the coastal. border back into UAE. On my way I wanted to try my luck with...
Ibri-Snake Canyon
What a day!! I got up early this morning to leave at 8h00 to avpid some of the heat. My first place to visit was the archeological site of Bat, the so called Beehives. Getting there was an offroad track that had a dry river crossing. I already could see that this is a soft one, but as I was on a dow...
Jebel Shams - Ibri
Jebel Shams - Ibri I slept like a baby once the last car had passed by the nearby road, about 23h00. Unfortunately at 6am passed the first empty lorry, with a hell of a noise 🙄 So about 6h30 I got then up... After all packed up, I had a breakfast snack and then it was time to get up to the famous B...
Nizwa
During my stay at the Biker Camp of the Nizwa Bikers I did like day-trips. One area of Jebel Hatt and one to Jebel Al Akdhar and then from there leaving to Jebel Shams. The other days was mainly lollong around, suffering the heat and catching up on social media and preparing Africa a bit more. On my...
Nizwa to Jebel Shams
This morning I got up at 6 o'clock 🥱😲because the traditional goat market in Nizwa starts at six o'clock. So by 6h45 I was already at the goat market. It was really busy and about seven o'clock officially the auction starts so it gets really loud. The people are pulling and dragging their goats alo...
RAS AL HADD - BIMMAH SINKHOLE
This morning I took it easy. I left the hotel around 11am and 1st stop was the carwash just behind the hotel. I needed to get rid of all the sand from the storm days ago, especially the chain, and in general from the seasalt in the air the last day, especially the last 2 days! Once done, I felt much...
DUQM - AL HADD
After the well deserved rest day, I left this morning Duqm. I was a good girl: oiled the chain and checked my oil level 😁 The plan last night, was to go to 'The Maledives' of Oman, but as there is no shade to camp and you drive through a salt pan, I changed my mind this morning 🤓 I thought of taki...
