I Drove Oman’s Most Dangerous Mountain Road (Alone)

This is the final stretch of my solo road trip through Oman - and it might just be the most challenging AND most beautiful part of the entire journey. In this episode, I leave Jebel Shams behind and drive down some of the most intense mountain roads I’ve tackled so far: Wadi Bani Awf. From wandering through Misfat al Abriyeen to navigating the steep descent toward Snake Canyon, this part of Oman tested both my driving skills and my confidence. I explore Little Snake Canyon on foot, searching for the right route through narrow rock passages and swimming sections, before ending the journey with one last wild campsite in the mountains. After more than a week of solo overlanding across Oman - from deserts to wadis to mountain passes - this final stretch made one thing clear: Oman is an incredible country for a road trip! _____________ If you’re planning your own Oman road trip, I made a guide with the exact route and wild camp spots from this series + all the practical tips I learned!
