‘Freedom and adventure in a unique location’

Beautiful nature

The untouched nature is extremely accessible, camping is possible nearly everywhere. Oman offers challenging cycling routes through a mountain range without equal. Freedom and adventure, all-inclusive.

Tour guide Barteld

Aimed at small groups with an eye for personal attention and a warm atmosphere. Barteld rides along, for a fully catered and safe experience. On low-traffic roads and tracks, away from the crowds,
you will discover Oman from the inside.

Perfect cycling weather

The mild climate between October and March is ideal. When the roads back home are slippery and wet, Oman’s winter offers perfect cycling weather. With temperatures between 20 and 30 degrees and hardly any precipitation.

Surprising world

Enjoy each day on the bike and find yourself in a whole new world. Afterwards you can rest and reminisce at a cafe or by the pool. Hotels and resorts in the most beautiful places provide us with the necessary luxury to recover.

A love for the country, culture and Arabic language in combination with his passion for cycling has resulted in Untravelled Roads. He can often be found in the workshop where he likes to work on bikes, but he prefers to get out and about himself. On his road bike, but if possible also on the gravel bike / mountain bike packed and loaded for a new adventure. The ideal way to fully experience freedom in the nature and mountains of Oman. Oman is therefore at its most beautiful by bike. For Barteld, nothing beats being able to share this experience with others.

What others say

On the MTB high into the mountains of Oman, an unforgettable experience. Barteld knows the area well and took us on a spectacular ride. Incredible views. Cared for down to the last detail. BBQ by the campfire under the stars, we spend the night in a local guesthouse. Great experience.

Jouke

Cycled through Oman for three days and got to taste the beautiful nature and culture there. Perfectly cared for and unburdened by Barteld. An experience to never forget.

Eline

Barteld guided us over the most beautiful roads of 'his' Oman. Food, drinks, camping gear, tourist highlights and even a portable toilet seat; everything was taken care of. We only had to cycle and enjoy this undiscovered paradise.

Lucia

Untravelled Roads was of great importance during our world record attempt in Oman. The logistical support and cycling expertise were essential on the way to the finish line. I don't know who could have supported us better than them.

Bruno

The team worked tirelessly to organize a bespoke cycling experience. They really took care of everything – including things we hadn't thought of. Barteld's enthusiasm and love for the outdoors contributed to an experience we will never forget.
