Muscat - 1

I really dont have much to write about this city. Muscat today is like Dubai 15 years ago. I feel I have seen this kind of city in the past.

People should be credited for being down to earth and original - very unlike Dubai.

All in all, Muscat is quite boring. Not because I live in Dubai and Muscat can't be my cup of tea, but I feel everything is laid back and slow.

- the HIGH SPEED INTERNET is not higher than 512K.
- buildings cannot be taller than 7 stories (or 8 maybe?)
- men wear two sperate head coverings; an Omani cap casually and a traditional turban for work and formal outings. An Omani colleague mentioned that his head feels naked without one.

Those are the only facts I could gather. I still have two more days here, maybe, just maybe there would be something worth mentioning.
