What struck you about Oman?

Hello everybody,

When you first settled in Oman, you might have been struck by cultural aspects of life in Oman and you might even have anecdotes about your integration here.
We would like you to share with expats-to-be what you discovered once you arrived in Oman: customs, traditions, interesting or fun facts etc.

What were the things that surprised you the most after your arrival?

Are there any practices that are particularly out of step with your culture of origin? If so, what are they?

What do you think about them?

Did you get used to these and adopt some of these traditions or norms?

Do you think you would take some of the customs of Oman with you if you were to return to your home country or move to another country?

Thank you!

Cheryl,

Absolutely , living and working in Oman I have concluded my own聽 striking anecdotal evidence:
Kindheartedness of Omani people in general, were it at official headquarters or in a shop or across the street , Omanis are聽 by nature polite, sincere, helpful , generous and caring ,distinguished聽 characteristics that you do not expect elsewhere. Such a striking civilization is not a result of contact with foreigners or western world for its roots go back to genuine cultures far back in history and origin of the social structure of Omani people.
On the other hand聽 non Omani employers in Oman (Lebanese or Sudanese holding聽 the US or UK聽 passport ) may take advantage聽 and treat their employees harshly and unjustly by depriving them of their money or recruiting them w/o making work visa for them etc聽 kind of other human trafficking ; I personally was one victim of those聽 when I worked at聽 (ASALA Almuhafizah) at ElQurm . I just warn expat- to -be聽 to take precautions when working聽 at聽 such companies run by聽 such superiors ,

My best wishes.

Excellent Mr. Karchid. I like your honesty and truthfulness in your reply. Always clouds will pass one place to another place. So no worries and we will keep calm and patient.
I highly聽 appreciate聽 your comment and your wisdom Mr. Kumar ; In the mean time being honest we must highlight such conspicuous crimes camouflaged by alleged superiority our first priority聽 is to聽 help kindhearted expats聽 avoid the traumatic聽 and disappointing suffering.
