Some jobs give you nice opportunities like travelling to places you would not go otherwise, like Oman. Oman is a small country in Middle East, ruled by a Sultan, so it is a Sultanate, and which as many other countries in the area has pretty high life standards due to the gas and oil to be found in their underground.
I did not have much time to walk around the place, but managed to get some first impression after some talks with locals, as well as a couple of short drives around a small city and the capital, Masqat.
