Video Cycling in Oman in 2009

In October and November 2009 we cycled in Oman. The trip took four weeks to complete. The total distance cycled was around 1200 kms.

We started and eded our trip in Muscat. First following the coast to Sur, then travelling south and then west again to the Wahiba Sands area and Nizwa. We climbed the road up the Oman´s highest mountain, Jebel Shams, and then crossed to Wadi Bani Awf. From Rustaq and Nakhl we finally reached Muscat again where our trip ended.

The downhill video was mostly shot while riding down Jebel Shams, the village scenes are from Nakhl.
