New Year’s Eve Celebration in the Desert is a verbatim account of the travel oddities that happened to me in Oman. Specifically I went in December 2022 for 9 days, solo and rented a car. Three of those days, however, I spent in the United Arab Emirates, and for those there is already this podcast episode: Spartan Accommodations in the Emirates
