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

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....

I never got the chance to visit it, so thanks for your insightss! I think Oman would be the first go-to place I'd visit in the middle east. Would totally agree on your conclusion :)

I would strongly recommend Jordan as a first go to place in the middle east!

My barbers are all Jordanian and it's recently made my list. Seems like a fun place. How easy would it be to go to some of the other countries in the region? I'm pretty sure they don't have rail connecting them.

There are some good flight inclusive tour packages where you can go to a few countries and they are relatively well priced. I used Gate 1 and it was a we’ll organized seamless trip and affordable

That sounds perfect. Yeah I want to go to 3-5 countries in 10 days. It’s easy in Europe with the trains.
