There's no time like the present while in lockdown to begin planning trips around the world from Europe to the Middle East and what you will be doing once you get there. In the meantime, while you are still at home you can make your packing easier with some modern essentials.
A modern invention that makes everything easy is packing cubes. They come in all shapes and sizes and you can use them to divide your luggage. One of the advantages of this would be that you would be able to put different kinds of clothes in different compartments which will help you organise and let you know exactly where a certain item is so you will not be wasting time upending your luggage looking for it. This is especially an advantage when you're going through customs or immigration. It will also help you pack your things back into your bag without losing your head when you are about to check out of Oman Hotels or whatever chain of hotels you'll be patronising while travelling.
You should also have a backup portable power source for all your electronic devices so that in the case of you being stuck somewhere without electricity you will not be at the mercy of a dwindling battery. Once you arrive at your hotel you can use the electric sockets to recharge all your devices and your backup power packs. This will also be an important choice if your activities in Oman will involve being somewhere overnight or if you are planning to camp out in the desert.
Sometimes the charging ports of your devices will not be able to directly plug into the sockets available in a different country as they tend to vary. As such it is always advisable to carry a world adapter with you which has a plugin for every kind of socket which will enable you to use whatever electric sockets available. This means you will also be prepared for whichever country you are planning to travel to.
Earplugs are a lifesaver if you aren't exactly comfortable with take-off and landing on an aeroplane but they also have a host of other advantages. Like helping you block out your snoring significant other or any other sort of background noise that might keep you awake as you can become quite sensitive trying to sleep in an unfamiliar place. A guaranteed good night's rest means you will have plenty of energy to run around during the day and be alert enough to enjoy exploring this new country.
While you will be given plenty of towels at your hotel or you could buy some towels at a local store. But today, especially during the pandemic, make sure that you have a small travel towel with you that is made up of a lightweight material that dries quickly.
