00:00
Je suis Lili Dauss et c'est Grand Voyager.
00:05
Dans ma base, en Qatar, je vis le monde à découvrir des places incroyables
00:10
de culture, luxueur et d'adventure.
00:13
Parfois, je rencontre les gens, j'écoute les flavours
00:17
et j'écoute les moments qui rendent chaque destination unforgettable.
00:22
Aujourd'hui, je vis de Qatar à la terre de coastlines et d'ancienne heritage.
00:32
Je suis ici en Oman,
00:34
un pays qui connaît pour ses grands mosques,
00:36
des forts forts et de rich culture.
00:41
Dans cette épisode, je vais découvrir Oman's
00:43
l'économie de l'économie, ses drastiques
00:46
et les histoires qui ont donné son identité.
00:50
La première étape est la capitale, Muscat.
00:55
C'est l'économie de l'économie de l'économie,
00:57
l'économie de l'économie de l'économie,
00:59
l'économie de Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque.
01:01
Ici, je rencontre Sépide, un tour guide local.
01:05
Sépide, c'est l'économie de l'économie.
01:08
Qu'est-ce que l'économie de l'économie ?
01:11
C'était un cadeau de l'économie de Sultan Qaboos
01:13
à la nation et l'économie en 2001.
01:17
C'est l'économie de l'économie de l'économie.
01:20
C'est l'économie de l'économie.
01:22
C'est l'économie de l'économie de l'économie.
01:25
La mosche explains how the mosque blends Islamic and Omani design,
01:28
featuring a 50-metre tall dome, 90-metre minaret,
01:32
and an array of arches and courtyards.
01:35
So here we are inside the Grand Mosque, it is overwhelming how huge it is and this carpet is what you notice first.
01:42
Exactly, this is the main highlight of the mosque.
01:46
It was the biggest hand-woven, one-piece carpet in the world.
01:50
600 people, they've woven it in four years, 4,200 square metres and it's 21 tons.
01:57
The mosque is known for its open door policy, allowing visitors to explore during set hours.
02:03
It's one of Muscat's must-see landmarks and a highlight for anyone visiting the capital.
02:10
Next up on my tour, it's time for a spot of shopping.
02:13
We are heading to Mutra Souk, one of the oldest marketplaces in the world.
02:19
The main thing I would recommend is the frankincense.
02:22
Frankincense, they call it Loban, which is a souvenir of Oman.
02:26
Frankincense comes from the sap of local boswellia trees,
02:30
which is steam distilled to produce essential oil.
02:33
It traditionally is burned as incense, but is also eaten for its medicinal benefits.
02:43
As we travel further into the soup, we discover a whole range of goods on display,
02:48
from cashmere scarves to traditional clothing and silver jewellery priced by weight.
02:53
No trip to Oman is complete without sampling the local cuisine.
02:59
And after a day spent exploring the city's most beautiful corners,
03:03
we stop at Ramsa restaurant, where a feast of delicious dishes awaits.
03:08
Camel meat, which you should have it with Omani bread and honey.
03:12
You're going to try it, you will love it.
03:15
And this is mishkaak, and that's the mandi chicken.
03:19
So which one you're going to try first?
03:20
Which one am I going to try?
03:22
I would like to try, let's try the shua.
03:27
I sample each dish, savoring the unique flavors of Omani cuisine,
03:31
and finish with some sweet treats before the final stop on our tour.
03:36
Welcome to the Royal Opera House.
03:39
Here is the biggest opera house in GCC, and the third one in Arab region,
03:45
after Egypt and Syria.
03:48
I mean, it is very grand, look at the space.
03:51
Yeah, it's really, look at the design, which is very impressive.
03:56
Sepi Day guides me through the opera house, highlighting its key features.
04:00
The grand entrance, a remarkable collection of musical instruments,
04:05
gifted to the Sultan, and the stunning Theatre Hall.
04:09
I can only imagine how a performance is here,
04:11
with such a huge venue and a beautiful stage.
04:16
Oman is a country full of history,
04:18
and so I am heading to the Oman Across Ages Museum,
04:22
where I am meeting with Haitham al-Hina'i,
04:25
cultural relations administrator at the museum.
04:31
Oman's history can be divided into four eras,
04:34
with the first dating back over 800 million years ago.
04:38
Can you imagine that we have dinosaurs here in Oman,
04:41
and also we have elephants.
04:43
So many and many animals do not exist anymore,
04:46
but in the old days we have it here in Oman.
04:48
So here you are going to see many evidence.
04:50
Can I walk on it?
04:51
Yes, you can walk, it's OK.
04:52
I can walk across the ages.
04:55
Moving forward to human settlements in Oman,
04:58
Haitham explains how remains found in ancient graves
05:01
reveal the daily lives of early settlers,
05:04
along with the animal species that once shared their environments.
05:08
So Lily, we are done from the stone era and we move to the bronze era.
05:14
In bronze era, we have a new civilization, they call it Majan.
05:19
And Majan, it means the land of bronze,
05:22
and it was located in different era in Oman.
05:27
Oman was famous for its rich copper resources and advanced shipbuilding skills.
05:32
The region played a vital role in trade, exporting copper and stone to Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley.
05:45
Haitham tells me more about the country's ancient dynasties,
05:49
which were dependent on Oman's maritime power,
05:52
building forts to protect its towns and trade routes.
05:56
Guided by one of the world's oldest dynasties,
05:59
the nation later modernized rapidly under Sultan Qaboos.
06:11
To experience Oman's history firsthand, I'm visiting Niswa Fort,
06:15
one of the country's most iconic landmarks,
06:18
built in the 17th century as a home for the ruler of the country, known as the Imam.
06:23
I'm meeting with engineer Hatim Ambasiadi, executive director of the fort.
06:31
Hatim leads me through the fort's entrance.
06:34
And while the walk feels effortless,
06:36
it quickly becomes clear just how carefully fortified
06:39
and strategically designed this historic stronghold really is.
06:44
This is the original and it's built with the material we call it here in Oman, Saruj.
06:50
Saruj.
06:51
Yes, it's burned mud mixed with rocks.
06:53
Very strong.
06:55
Very strong, yes.
06:56
And you have to burn it under 850 degrees
06:59
and it takes from 14 to 21 days to work as strong as a cement.
07:04
That's why this fort here took 12 years to be built.
07:08
The fort is a huge circular tower built on solid rock,
07:14
could withstand cannon fire and offered views in every direction.
07:18
Inside, narrow corridors, hidden doors and false staircases
07:23
created a clever defence system to stop intruders.
07:29
It's remarkable to imagine the skill and complexity involved in constructing
07:34
such a formidable stronghold.
07:41
At the top, sweeping views over Niswa, date palms and distant mountains
07:46
show why this vantage point was so important for defending the city.
07:58
And here you're surrounded by the mountains.
08:00
By the mountains, yes.
08:01
It's 360-degree views of mountains.
08:03
Exactly.
08:04
So you have one way in, one way out.
08:06
So easy to spot the intruders when they come.
08:10
Next, we head into the castle.
08:12
Once home to rulers and officials,
08:14
where open living quarters, meeting rooms and courtyards
08:18
reveal how governance and daily life balance defence and administration.
08:31
We also visit the imams' residents, whose simple furnishings reflect both leadership and modesty.
08:45
Niswa Fort and Castle provide a window into Omen's past,
08:49
leaving a lasting impression of the city's history, culture and enduring spirit.
08:54
Omen's natural landscapes are as dramatic as its history.
09:01
Tucked between Oman's dramatic cliffs, Wadi Shab is a hidden oasis,
09:05
brimming with turquoise pools and cascading waterfalls.
09:10
Today, I'm exploring this natural wonder with Abdullah, the Omen Roar Explorer.
09:14
Hey.
09:16
Abdullah, hello.
09:17
Nice to see you.
09:18
Welcome.
09:19
Thank you very much.
09:20
What incredible scenery behind us.
09:22
We are now in Wadi Shab, so where we will go to see the Wadi.
09:27
First, we need to take a boat from here to the other side,
09:30
and then we will do the hike to the nice pool up there.
09:36
To get across the water, we board a boat for a very short ride before joining a hike
09:41
that leads through a lush canyon with shaded paths and natural limestone pools along the way.
09:53
Here is the donkey.
09:55
The locals use the donkey here for the transportation, you know,
09:59
from here up to the old village.
10:01
They used to live there, but not anymore.
10:04
Though the village is now abandoned,
10:06
Wadi Shab remains a magnet for travelers
10:08
in search of a hidden mountain oasis.
10:12
Strolling past its crystal clear pools,
10:15
it's easy to understand why adventurers from around the world are drawn here.
10:21
Some pools are famous for adventure,
10:24
like this one which hosted a Red Bull cliff diving competition.
10:28
So they come here in 2012, they organized cliff diving,
10:31
they jump from this cliff.
10:32
Oh, not from here, but from up there.
10:34
From up there, yes.
10:36
How maybe around 27 meters high, yeah.
10:39
Hidden waterfalls, emerald pools, and towering cliffs
10:43
create a paradise in the heart of Oman.
10:46
Along this hike, countless hidden gems await,
10:49
with even more stunning Wadi's to explore in the surrounding area.
10:55
Something you really can't miss out on when you're in Oman
10:58
is getting out on their crystal clear waters.
11:01
So that's exactly what I'm doing.
11:04
I am boarding a small boat operated by GCC Tours,
11:08
which offers boat trips from Muscat Port.
11:11
The sea was beautifully calm and turquoise in color.
11:15
As we made our way into the open waters,
11:18
the captain quickly spotted the dolphins.
11:21
Soon we were surrounded by them,
11:23
their sleek bodies cutting through the water with ease.
11:28
The dolphins swam alongside the boat,
11:30
leaping and diving in smooth, controlled motions.
11:34
It was incredible to watch them up close,
11:36
moving effortlessly through the sea.
11:41
Oman is full of surprises.
11:43
It's beauty, it's peace, and it's people.
11:46
And of course, it's dolphins.
11:49
There's so much to explore here,
11:51
and I really haven't touched the surface,
11:53
but it's time for my next adventure.
