Muscat

The people of Oman are very friendly and socialites, but that becomes a downfall when it comes to servicing and customer relations simply because everybody would look at you as a friend!

I had fun going up and down the dunes, the African culture there is apparent, which is a plus.. A good place to chill and take life on a slower pace..

Whatever you do, DO NOT stay at the Golden Tulip hotels!

I used to live here, this place is so great. The only thing that bothered me was the temperature and humidity. I got used to it after a while. It was so great to live there though, great nightlife. Everyone was so incredibly friendly and welcoming. Don’t come here with preconceived notions of terrorists or anything of the such. The locals are all too accommodating and friendly, if you get a chance go to my favorite restaurant I AM ZAMAN’s. The coolest cars too, everyone had like total tuner cars there. Twin turbo’d supras, sylvias, muscle cars. It was really a great experience I hope to go back someday.

Negotiate the taxi fare upfront..If you dare take the van taxi where the fare is only Bz200

you know what’s home is? it’s that place you feel safe and beloved, this how i felt once in oman.. when i was there!
dear oman,
i love you and miss you so much, ‘cause you are the home!!
thank you for raising me up, i shall never forget those great times i had with you< ‘cause you are, in my heart, my love!!!

beautiful place, very westernized… Best beaches!

Beautiful harbor. Impressive cliffs.

would like to travel through here again with out an M-16

Wicked lil city at the end of the arabian gulf. Compared to Dubai and Abu Dhabi there isnt much to do around the city ( that might have changed since its been a while since i’ve been there ).

Lots of historic forts etc around the country. Nizwa Fort, Bustan Palace . Another city to visit is the southern city of Salalah. The temperature is perfect. Have to check out the natural wonders and caves..also the ruins of Queen Sheba’s fort

If you’re ever lucky enough to go to Oman, then make the trek. You’ll find the culture a facinating mix of old and modern. the Suk is a must do. The “Carpark” restaurant at the International hotel is a must do. stay at the albustan if you can. Don’t hesitate to take the adventure to Salalah, to drive across the desert is amazing.

My best tip is go to Razal Haj on the coast just south west of Muscat. Go camping on the beach and watch the turtles doing their thing laying eggs, and hundreds of tiny turtles making their way into the surf. It’s an amazing spectical of nature that is a once in a life time experience. this is one of two places in the world these turtle go to lay their eggs.

PS. A game of golf at the Expat course just behind the airport near the beach is an entertaining experience to say the least as the wild camel roam the course.
