🇴🇲 Week in Oman - 7/10

​The Bedouin transition. 🐪

​Today, less than 5% of Oman's population maintains a traditional nomadic or semi-nomadic lifestyle. Concentrated primarily in the Sharqiya Sands and the Rub' al Khali, these communities continue to rely on camel herding to survive in extreme environments where summer temperatures regularly exceed 50°C.

🇴🇲 Week in Oman 5/10

​The ancient Aflaj system. 💧

​Oman uses a 2,000-year-old water management network known as Aflaj. Driven solely by gravity, it channels water from underground mountain springs directly into villages and farms. Over 3,000 of these systems are still actively functioning today.

🇴🇲 Week in Oman - 3/10

​The liquid gold of the desert: Frankincense.

​High up in the rugged mountains grows an endemic treasure: the sacred Boswellia tree. Its precious resin is still carefully harvested by hand just as it was in ancient times.

​For centuries, this golden sap has been a powerful economic pillar for the region. Highly renowned and essential for religious ceremonies worldwide, it was once considered more valuable than gold itself.

🇴🇲 Week in Oman - 2/10

​Ever wonder how a completely dry desert canyon transforms into a lush oasis? It’s a geological survival trick. Rare, intense rainstorms create flash floods. The water gets trapped in deep rock pools and porous aquifers, creating hidden underground springs that feed these emerald waters year-round.

🇮🇸 Week in Iceland - 10/10

​Spending this week working on Iceland revealed an incredibly beautiful island with breathtaking landscapes and deep traditions. Icelanders can be truly proud of their home; shaped by such raw beauty and harsh diversity, they must be a remarkably strong and humble people. I sincerely hope this series sparked your wanderlust and made you want to explore this unique land yourself. Next week, we discover a brand new country. I am pouring all my energy into it, and I truly hope you'll love the journey.
