Dag Oddy,
Inderdaad, heel jammer. Ik ben bezig om te kijken waar ik de boel weer ga opzetten. Dus, ja, het komt weer terug, maar nee, het staat nu nergens. Veel plezier in Oman, maar dat zal toch wel lukken denk ik zo.
Groet
Jan
Thanks for your kind words and the update. Wish I could check it out.
Greetings

Dag Frans, ik geef het door aan Lilian. We wonen overigens in Limburg, en als het heet is in Bretagne :-). Groet. Jan
Hi Tom, I have not maintained the google maps set-up because that requires regular updating the system. Google has recently killed its google sites and I have not looked at what consequences are. I can send you the relevant files
Hi Thomas,
Sounds like we should like to meet-up in Brittany as I am on another quest that needs local geological eyes and foremost also old Breton stories, particularly those that refer to ‘lights’ along the rock outcrops along the coast. There is a surprising reason why I am interesed. If you are living in Brittany we should surely meet and talk about that. Meanwhile indeed take care and stay healthy. Jan
Hi Ahmed,
Thanks for the nice words. Oman still has a special place in our hearts. I know you are in lockdown because of corona and that must be difficult. Take care. Jan
The area that you refer to is protected and sensitive and therefore needs permissions from the authorities. It is also a trip that has significant risks and needs to be well prepared. People have been in trouble. So as a rule I do not provide tracks unless I am sure permissions, safety and sensitivities are taken care of. I don't know a jebel called Kobra. I guess the trip goes along the coast southwards through the eastern edge of the Wahiba sands, so the jebel may be at the northeastern edge of the Wahiba sands.
Hi Jens,
You may have noticed we left Oman in 2010, so I am not up to date. There are plenty of normal rental companies, also at the airport. You can find them on the internet. The normal gang of rental companies. They also rent 4x4. Do not off-road on your own. You have seen my warnings (I hope). Always with at least a second car, well prepared. Jan
Hi Hugo. Have fun. We indeed left and particularly now in the Dutch wet winter days miss the Omani sun a lot. Whenever I am told about big changes I update the site, but can't check myself anymore. Greetings / groeten Jan
All tracks are available on http://home.kpn.nl/~lilian_jan_schreurs/mapoman/OmanGoogiline.htm
as Google Earth kmz files (zipped) via the Oman link map and that includes Ras Sudrah. We could not track down the identity of the ship itself. Not sure whether the boiler will be still there.
Hi Berni
Will contact you by mail. Jan
Hi Berni,
Yes Shuram is still in business and I would surely recommend them. You can find their details on the web https://www.instagram.com/shuram.tourism/ and e-mail : [email protected]
Yes, most of what you describe as having seen by helicopter has limited access and needs permissions. For good reasons as this area is environmentally very sensitive. Accessibility has improved a lot since your helicopter days. Shuram may be able to help you with that.
Regards, Jan
All tracks that I can release are available on the site in the oman travel map: http://home.kpn.nl/~lilian_jan_schreurs/mapoman/OmanGoogiline.htm
Those that I have not included are in protected areas that require permissions.
I hope this explains
Jan
