Lucky me (Adam ) I managed to land a business trip to Muscat, the capital of Oman for 3 days! The trip started off well with me getting upgraded to business class as I walked on to the plane. It has really put travelling in economy in to a whole new light (now that I have something to compare it to). I'm not sure I can ever travel economy ever again...
I wasnt there long enough to see a whole lot but what I did was nice. There seem to be plenty of buildings around and not a whole lot of people about. Perhaps they were all inside in the aircon. At 40 degrees with plenty of humidity, there was about 10 or 15 seconds before you break in to a full sweat outside! I went to the beach near my hotel a couple of times and there must have been about 10 or 12 soccer games in a row up and down the beach (all being played by men of course). I found it quite interesting to see a bloke running down the beach in nothing but a pair of shorts running past a woman in neck to ankle robes complete with head scarf. Not quite like your average beach at home.
