What happens when a random Alaska Airlines mileage deal takes you halfway around the world to the Omani capital Muscat, a city you’ve never heard of? Brooke Ivy knows! Expect tales of swimming through wadis, solo desert drives, villages tucked deep into the mountains, famous hospitality, and the dramatic landscapes that make Oman *almost* feel like home. Doors at 5:00 p.m. Donations to the Gold Town gladly accepted.
