We just came back(31.05-1.06 was very busy and miss you all guys, can't wait when will see you all again) from a magical one-day/one-night mini-trip to Snake Gorge Canyon in Oman, and I can’t wait to share it with Carnity community! 🚗 The Journey Begins We set out early on Saturday morning with my boys, and after about 8 hours, we crossed the border into Oman. Traffic was nearly non-existent—maybe because it was early, or because Eid was a week away. 🛣️ On the Road The highway after the border was a bit monotonous, but once we turned toward the mountains, the real adventure began. We passed Al Hazm Fort and an Omani local even suggested we check it out—unfortunately that was on Day 2 and time was tight. ⛰️ Into the Wadi The last 30–40 minutes to our destination was pure Wadi and mountain switchbacks. My Expedition was cruising in 4A without a hitch, while the Pajero and LC pickup shifted into 4L more than once. This was my first tough-road experience, and wow—the views were breathtaking. On the way back, I made a few stops just to soak it all in. Looking down? Terrifying! XD 🏠 Arrival & Exploration We reached our guest house, had a hearty lunch, and prepped for the hike. Since my younger son is only six, we chose the shorter 6 km trail—and it was absolutely perfect. 💧 Canyon Fun Given that it hadn’t rained in over six months, there were tons of deep, clear pools in the canyon. The kids were ecstatic, and so was I—especially in the sweltering 40 °C heat, the cool water felt incredible. 👶 Father–Son Bonding For the final kilometer out of the canyon, I carried my younger boy on my back whenever rocks allowed. He’d been so excited—stayed up late, woke up early, and didn’t nap a single second during the drive Leaving The next morning, we woke up, stretched lazily, had breakfast, and set off to explore an village site—more like a charming little town, really. After our stroll through narrow streets and old walls, we decided it was time to head back. But first, we swung by a car wash—our black SUV came out looking more like ash-gray than black! Then we grabbed lunch at a nearby pizzeria and struck up a conversation with a friendly local. This short trip didn’t give us the full luxury of a slow-paced mountain retreat in Oman, but escaping the hustle and bustle of Dubai—especially with my sons—has quickly become one of my favorite recent memories! ✅ Final Thoughts I definitely recommend visiting Snake Gorge Canyon. If you’re up for more action, try the full canyon route—it’s even more exhilarating, with 40 m rope descents and pools deep enough to swim for 15–30 minutes depending on rainfall. If you’re into a quick but unforgettable outdoor escape, Snake Gorge in Oman is an absolute must! https://maps.app.goo.gl/6DJ2JEUTBLnh4oDo8 PS. preparing kids for Salalah trip XD

@Ishak Expedition is more for overland, it's too low for dune bashing. Yukon which raised is good for dune bashing))

First I fought it's my expedition,but looks like generated))) but yes, I like this! Next week will finally join "pokatushki" 😀😀😀 as my wife calls it

Hahaha)) to be honest I cant now to put myself somewhere, I definitely like the roar of engine, adrenaline etc etc of Dune basher, but my soul wish to do overland(which I never did) or outdoorsman(several times camping not in count) that's the only reason I hadn't voted... yet 😃

Man! I have goosebumps when I read this part!

@Mike M. you've nailed it! 100% support!

Find people who are littering in desert and dig them there.. I believe there will be time, and I think not so far away when we will be exploring not only desert withouth carbon footprint.. maybe they will make soon with help of AI new compact power generator, AKA Iron Man

Yes, I think there's a lot of video with speed tests and temperature of compressor

It's with me now, so it's with us

My Vote goes for @Zed car @Gaurav so He has now 2 votes from me and Fredi

From here more details please 😀

I have 2 favorite cars, which are giving similar emotions which @Frederic mentioned in post above. 1) @Srikumar 2) @Zed

@Frederic will remove myself, car twice get stalled, voltage dropping, need to check alternator Have a nice drive!

Amazing! 😂😂😂

@Hanan With my experience with my dream car (Expedition 2024) I had same faults 😃 and on 4-5th drive I realized 2 options : either I leave my bumper in desert, or I'll remove it. After 15th drive with already modified bumpers I realize that either I need to lift car(which I don't want) or I have stop driving(which I also don't want) or find new car. Thanks to @Islam Soliman for black beast yukon I chose the 3rd option.

@LucasMatt very nice video, but you should add how we were shoveling you and how you made it !)))

Yeap)))

Vey fast sale! =(

@Aadi Congratulations! Enjoy new level with your beast!
