Oman - a country rarely spoken about. What's happening there?

[u/Necessary_Wing799]

Oman is located in a area we heat about a lot for an array of reasons - there are many famous and newsworthy spots close by from dubai to Doha to Iran and Yemen...... what goes on in Oman? Let us know how life is here and any relevant info on its current state....

You two are friends and have never touched each other and will not do so in the future.

Also, would research other women's experiences traveling there. It's probably safe, especially in tourist areas, but they have some similarities to their neighbors in this regard.

I've just looked through the disability section on the travel advisory, as well.

I'm feeling a bit anti social, so I think I'm going to go back to lurking now, because this has been asked and answered about 10 times in the space of 2 minutes.

Sorry if my comment was overly intense or anything. Just wanted to be clear on how careful some people need to be (unfortunately).

It's not that.

I'm actually seriously unwell right now, and when I got something like 10 replies in quick succession, my brain locked up.

I should have checked on the disability situation anyway, as well, so I'm glad to have the advisories.

I'm a part time wheelchair user, so while something like the Parthenon can be made more accessible at a cost to historical authenticity, I do expect to have to get creative if I get to go anywhere, especially since I know the struggle with any sort of narrow spaces, because of my home town.
