Start near the middle of Oman and dig straight down through the centre of the Earth, and you would surface around 20.7977° S, 123.0226° W, in South Pacific Ocean 🌊. That spot is open water; the nearest coast is Pitcairn Islands 🇵🇳, roughly 670 km (416 miles) north-east.
The closest settlement of any size is Papeete, French Polynesia, about 2,808 km (1,745 miles) from the point.
