As with all motorcycle trips to a far away and mysterious land, part of the excitement is lived before the trip even starts ... all the unknowns, the planning of the route, the places to visit and the places to stay, the cellular and wifi situation, the currency and the access to ATM/credit cards, the passports and visas, the road conditions, the weather, and ultimately, what to pack to keep things light and simple.
On Tuesday, we begin our journey by flying first to Dubai and then connecting to Salalah, Oman. We have rented 4 BMW R1250GS Adventure motorcycles in Dubai and arranged for their delivery to Salalah in the south.
We will spend 2 weeks riding north from Salalah to Dubai through what promises to be a unique and pristine landscape ... best of all, we just heard that our motorcycles have been delivered and are now waiting at our hotel in Salalah. A big logistical challenge solved : )
