    I ate at the Italian resto and it was so-so. You won't see any restaurant tips on Oman from me. Maybe next time. :-) I want to try the seafood one you described.

    Nice pics, nice comments ... I don't think Oman is over expensive ... it's like many other place in the world. If you know where to go and how to ask than is a lot cheaper (tip: ask some expats before you go)

    Nice pic but Oman is not expensive. If you know someone or where to go it is as cheap as other Arabian countries. Cheers jz
