I had the most wonderful time in Oman with Mansoors team. Having never been to the Middle East before, it was an amazing experience to be able to be introduced to this beautiful country by a team that was more welcoming that I could have ever expected.

I got more than I could ever ask for volunteering with Mansoor and his team Hamed and Waleed. They took such good care of us; they went out of their way to make sure we felt welcome in Oman and they were funny. They made my trip!

I was very nervous about visiting Oman as it was my first time travelling in the middle east and in a country not… read more known for its public transport. Volunteering with Mansoor and the team provided the perfect introduction to the country; to the culture, its many different landscapes and how to get around.

As Mansoor says, it’s a family business. From the start he was very relaxed and kept things very simple. He was easy to get hold of, patient answering my many questions before I arrived and flexible when I had to change my dates. He also checked in to see that I had everything I needed and that I was having a good time.

His team gave me a really warm welcome which started with a big smile from Hamed, despite having to collect me late at night from the airport. I knew then that I was going to be in good hands.

Our 13 day camp hosted 14 Dutch geologists. There were four of us running the camping side of things; two from Mansoor’s team, myself and another volunteer (who I first met through the ‘friends’ chat function on the Workaway website). Having two volunteers worked really well and it was a good way to be with someone else also exploring the country for the first time.

Each day we went to a new site which was a great way to see the different types of landscape; rocks, sand dunes, coast. As volunteers we helped with packing down the camp, going shopping for food, setting up the next camp, cooking and preparing food. There was a lot of driving (mostly by the team) but that’s because Oman is a big country. I was a bit nervous before about not being a great cook but the team accommodated this and we all played to our strengths.

I enjoyed the volunteering because there was lots to do but it was all very relaxed, with simple routines and a lot of laughter. When there was time in the day the team sometimes took us to see a few sites too. The tourists were really friendly and a lot of fun. It was a great opportunity to learn a bit about geology and Dutch culture which was a complete bonus.

Thank you Mansoor, to you and your team for making my trip so memorable. I won’t forget Omani hospitality.

There is no better way to explore Oman than with Mansoor and his company. Everyone was very kind and accomodation was more than adequate.
