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....

Nah it's a very friendly place. LOTS of English speakers. Definitely see if you can get a guide so you don't get swindled or anything. But the downtown areas of Amman are so cool. Roman amphitheater is really neat there.

Oh shit yeah! actually was playing geoguesser yesterday and got the Roman Amphitheater as a location! I’d love to visit in person! What would you say is the best time of year to go?

Hmm during early spring like March I imagine? I was there from November through May and it was real nice basically the whole time. It gets kinda lush in the spring.
