  • I climbed on Aconcagua on a 10-day solo expedition last year and it was absolutely one of the greatest things I’ve ever done in my life, but it requires A LOT of planning & preparation to pull off!! 😵‍💫

🏔️comment SUMMIT + I’ll DM you links to my expedition guide + packing list 🏔️

I distilled everything that I learned about solo permits, logistics services, base camp facilities, reading the weather, what to pack, and more into a MASSIVE blog post— which I just updated with new 2025/2026 permit prices and changes to service plans!!— so I’d absolutely recommend anyone planning a solo expedition to check it out:

🔗brookebeyond.com/solo-climbing-aconcagua

Before my own expedition, I had the most questions about what gear to bring, so I’ve also written a super detailed packing list with every single item that I wore/used to get me safely to 6,962m without a guide or group (plus what I would add or subtract based on my experience):

🔗brookebeyond.com/aconcagua-expedition-packing-list

And finally, I built a GPS map of the exact route, showing all base + high camps and important landmarks— so you can navigate confidently and just focus on the climb!!

  • Oman is home to hundreds of forts and castles, built between the 16th & 18th centuries to defend trade routes, protect villages, and display regional power. Dotted across desert valleys and mountain passes, they’re some of the country’s most striking reminders of its long history as a crossroads of empire and trade!

Today, you can wander through maze-like corridors of the perfectly preserved forts, climb narrow staircases to sun-drenched rooftops, and imagine what life might have been like for the soldiers, scholars, and sultans who once lived within these walls.

Exploring them became one of the absolute highlights of our road trip, especially those we had entirely to ourselves— a photographer’s paradise of interesting angles and vantage points!

  • In a land of sand and stone, Jabreen Castle feels like a secret garden 🌺

#oman #nizwa #castle #jabreencastle
  • WELCOME TO OMAN 🇴🇲✨

Nestled between the Hajar Mountains and the Arabian Sea, Oman unfolds in a tapestry of sand, stone & silence— a desert kingdom shaped by centuries of tradition.

We spent 2 weeks road-tripping between ancient forts, sparkling wadis, golden dunes, and mud-brick villages seemingly lost in time. And while the natural beauty has completely astounded us (along with the near-total lack of people!), Oman is also the most conservative country we’ve personally visited—and it’s left us with slightly mixed feelings overall.

We felt the conservatism in many ways, but it was certainly the most heartbreaking to see official signs declaring homosexuality a “crime” upon arriving to several towns. I know this isn’t unique to Oman by any means, but it’s the first time we’ve seen it so clearly and openly stated on our travels, and that was really confronting. 

It’s brought up a lot of feelings for us about the privilege that we have as a cis heterosexual couple travelling in many parts of the world— where we almost certainly wouldn’t feel safe as a trans or gay couple. 

The world is a terrible and incredible and heartbreaking and beautiful place, all at once. So perhaps the best thing we can do is share a balanced perspective— the stunning views AND the hard truths about some of the places we travel. Not to discourage you from visiting, but to consider more than just the beautiful views.

EDIT: It seems a lot of people in the comments have misinterpreted this caption as me disparaging Omani people for their customs— to be clear, we met nothing but kind local people and I’m sure there are many in the country who also do not agree with the rigid laws or hateful ideologies promoted by the government. Like any country, there is good and bad, but I don’t personally want to be the kind of traveller who refuses to reflect on that nuance just because “it’s not my place as a visitor”. This is my page, these are my thoughts and feelings, please take it or leave it— but definitely leave the hurtful comments, there’s simply no need to be unkind ❤️

  • Welcome to Siwa Oasis, a shimmering mirage at the edge of the Sahara & perhaps the most unexpected corner of Egypt ✨

The only way to reach this tiny settlement is by driving nearly 10hrs from Cairo, but the lack of airport or easy connections does come with its benefits… Siwa is rustic, uncrowded, and blissfully untouched. A world all its own.

  • Carved in the cliffs of Luxor’s West Bank lies the Valley of the Kings, the ancient necropolis where Egypt’s mighty pharaohs were entombed for eternity. From 1550–1070 BCE, more than 60 royal tombs were carved into the rock, their walls covered in vivid hieroglyphs and celestial maps to guide each ruler safely into the afterlife.

Of all the incredible ancient sites in Luxor, the Valley of the Kings struck me the deepest. The colours are just so vivid and the art still feels so alive… a time-capsule that’s perfectly preserved 3000yrs of history. The wonder of it all literally brought me to tears 🥺

TIPS FOR VISITING

🎟️ there are usually ~12 tombs open at any given time & the standard ticket will get you into any 3 of the basic lot (while a few of the most special ones require an extra ticket)

Which tombs to visit👇
🔹 Tomb of Ramses IV (KV2) — one of the best preserved, with a soaring barrel-vaulted ceiling painted deep blue and covered in golden stars
🔹 Tomb of Merneptah (KV8) — long, descending corridors lined with detailed reliefs that still show traces of their original colour
🔹 Tomb of Ramses III (KV11) — features striking battle scenes and the Book of Gates, illustrating the pharaoh’s journey through the night
🔹 Tomb of Ramses V/VI (KV9) — ($4 extra ticket) — the ceilings are covered in intricate astronomical scenes, including the Book of the Heavens.
🔹 Tomb of Seti I (KV17) — ($40 extra ticket) — the most exquisite of them all, with incredible depth, vivid paintwork, and intricate carvings that make it feel almost alive

Dotted across desert valleys and mountain passes, they’re some of the country’s most striking reminders of its long history as a crossroads of empire and trade!

Today, you can wander through maze-like corridors of the perfectly preserved forts, climb narrow staircases to sun-drenched rooftops, and imagine what life might have been like for the soldiers, scholars, and sultans who once lived within these walls.

Exploring them became one of the absolute highlights of our road trip, especially those we had entirely to ourselves— a photographer’s paradise of interesting angles and vantage points!

🏰 a few of our favourites:
* Nizwa Fort
* Samail Fort
* Bahla Fort
* Jabreen Castle

I climbed on Aconcagua on a 10-day solo expedition last year and it was absolutely one of the greatest things I’ve ever done in my life, but it requires A LOT of planning & preparation to pull off!! 😵‍💫 🚨comment SUMMIT + I’ll DM you links to my expedition guide + packing list 🚨 I distilled everything that I learned about solo permits, logistics services, base camp facilities, reading the weather, what to pack, and more into a MASSIVE blog post— which I just updated with new 2025/2026 permit prices and changes to service plans!!— so I’d absolutely recommend anyone planning a solo expedition to check it out: 🔗brookebeyond.com/solo-climbing-aconcagua Before my own expedition, I had the most questions about what gear to bring, so I’ve also written a super detailed packing list with every single item that I wore or used to get me safely to 6,963m without a guide or group (plus what I would add or subtract based on my experience): 🔗brookebeyond.com/aconcagua-expedition-packing-list And finally, I built a GPS map of the exact route, showing all base + high camps and important landmarks— so you can navigate confidently and just focus on the climb!! 🔗shop.brookebeyond.com/b/aconcagua 👉🏼 comment SUMMIT + I’ll DM you links to my expedition guide + packing list!! ——— #aconcagua #7summits #expedition #soloclimbing
