The 974 Beach, Doha. More than one kilometer stretch of white, superclean beach. Yang bikin beda, ya, batu warna-warni ini. Gimana nyusunnya, ngewarnainnya, saya lama di sini karena mikirin itu. Bukan karena foto-foto. Bukan 😄

I spent my first few days in Muscat just exploring the city life. I was lucky to find some Indonesian friends in town. Had coffee & breakfast over the beach side with Saras and her Omani husband, Ayman (plus baby Zizi ❤️). Spent almost a whole day with the lovely couple Isni & Alex, who both happened to be my book readers ☺️ Had a chance to visit Alex & Isni’s house and see some of the Muscat’s gorgeous residential areas.
Masih gak habis fikri dengan alam Oman yang ajaib ini. Muscat seperti dibentengi gunung batu—aneka model dan bentuk—bahkan di dalam kompleks perumahan sekalipun, “pagar” gunung nyaris tak pernah absen.
Pengalaman ke Souq Muttrah juga gak kalah unik (slide 9). Begitu melihat muke-muke Asia yang masuk pasar, babang-babangnya tiba-tiba langsung switch dari bahasa Arab ke: “Murah, murah, satu rial, satu rial!” Alumnus Duolingo semua nih gw rasa! 😳
For me, the most fascinating part in traveling is the human connection—listening to their stories, jokes, small talks. Happy to experience a taste of it in Muscat ❤️
Thank you Isni @saraswatisaumi & Saras @saraszzle, and both of your families, for your time and hospitality 😘

In Muscat, you’ll experience that sweet spot where modernity and tradition were beautifully combined. Bangunan tidak ada yang melebihi menara masjid, cat eksterior hanya diperkenankan warna putih dan pastel, jalanan mulus dan lebar, mall megah dan luas, tetapi tradisi tetap terasa dari arsitektur, gaya busana, dan keseharian penduduknya. Omanis are known to be the friendliest people in the Middle East. Di sini pun sangat aman bagi turis. It’s relatively a tiny country in terms of size, but it has the third strongest currency in the world, stronger than USD or Euro (rupiah terasa sekali nyungsep di sini 😄). Kagum dan nyaman. That’s how Oman made me feel ❤️

My other destination in the Middle East was Oman. Sama sekali tidak punya bayangan sebelumnya tentang Oman. But, my BFF @climbingbird convinced me to go there. For her, Oman is one of the most beautiful places ever, and she is definitely someone who has seen the world.
Oman is also a very safe place for a solo female traveler. Mulai dari bandara hingga tiba di jantung kota Muscat, lalu ke Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah, everything was smooth sailing. Aku senang dipanggil “sister” di mana-mana! 😄 People were helpful, the hotel staff were super friendly, the resort ( the whole city!) was gorgeous.
Pantai Al Jissah ini pantai sunrise, jadi harus bela-belain bangun pagi-pagi buta kalau mau lihat matahari terbit. And, yes, it’s worth it! The weather was warm in this time of year, but still bearable. Clear sky everyday. I had a great and peaceful time just wandering around ❤️
Truly, this is a place that I would gladly come back to.

Hari terakhir di Doha ditutup dengan sunset indah. Taburan awan mengisi langit jingga cerah. Kunjungan perdana ke Qatar, dan intuisi saya mengatakan ini tidak akan menjadi yang terakhir. I really enjoyed my stay, impressed with what I saw, and got much happiness from my experience and friendship that I gained along the way ❤️
See you again, Doha.

Boru Simangunsong, boru Nababan, boru Sianipar, dan boru Sagala. Empat boru Batak di tanah Arab, ngobrol bahasa… Sunda. EAAA!
Hatur nuhun vizund boru-boru Batak yang sudah menemani halan-halan pada hari terakhirku di Doha, especially Marida a.k.a Idenk, sohib kakakku @keymangunsong yang sudah saya kenal dari kecil, dan sampai sekarang masih memanggil saya “I’i” (panggilan eksklusip orang-orang lama doang 😆).
Jumpa lagilah kita kalau awak ke Qatar ya 👋
