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....

TFW you’re a mostly stable and successful Arab Muslim country and the world basically forgets you exist because of it.

Absolute monarchy, firing squads for capital punishment, no punishment for female genital mutilation… yeah, checks out as Arab Country

hey can you even call us arabs without it?
joking aside, there is a lot that I condemn here, but I love that its authentic unlike the rest of the souless places of the gulf

Hey, you probably meant "condemn" or "don't condone" here. Just a friendly heads up :)

[u/Which_Environment911 → u/butt_sama]

sorry my english isnt the best😭😭

[u/dumbacoont → u/Which_Environment911]

Hey, no worries, it’s getting better

[u/Illustrious-Okra-524 → u/Which_Environment911]

Even native speakers mix those up constantly. I was confused about it for a moment just last week

[u/foggygoggleman → u/Illustrious-Okra-524]

Your right

And my Arabic is non-existent aside from knowing maybe five words so you’ve got me beat lol

Don't feel bad. You'd be right at home here in America. My wife is a teacher/tutor, and since covid illiteracy has become a growing problem with the kids she's seeing. From your couple of comments, you seem to be doing better than the average high school kid these days...

EDIT: Illiterate by proper English grammar. They are all genius poets when it comes to reading and writing in a combination of emoji and internet acronym slang.
