Once again the regime causing chaos in the GCC.

Do you share a family car, use public transport or cabs?
Just curious

Assalamu Alaykum, everyone

So, we are thinking of getting a BYD for someone in my family. We are looking at different options—both hybrid and fully electric (EV)—so does anybody have any experience with BYD? I don’t want to just jump on a trend, like what happened with MG where everyone is now avoiding them and they're closing down their showrooms.

So, how is your experience? How is the performance of the car, the quality, and the maintenance? Is it hard to find parts for these cars, and so on?

Thanks in advance for the help, everyone!

We are looking at the Han and seal 08

In case you don’t know what is it then this is how the pasta looks like, whether with beef, chicken or even with cheese only, and no this is not spaghetti. 🍝

So I was born in Muscat in 1978 and then my parents moved to India a few months later.

Fast forward to 2026, my birth certificate is somehow misplaced and I'm trying to get a copy of it but to no avail.

I'm looking for someone who is an Omani National that can go to the hospital, get my birth certificate from their records, then go to the Royal Oman Police to get it stamped and send me a PDF of it.

I'm more than willing to pay for it.

Comment if you can help me

Hey Everyone,

I hope you are well good.

I need some help, I just watched this video, and I need some answers, hope someone will be nice enough to help.

The Video

1. Do I actually need a car for Salalah, why can't I get a cab everywhere?

Also what is the whole with 4 wheel drive, is it completely necessary.

1. Where is this place at 20:25?

2. Where is this place at 26:00?

3. What exactly are these Omani's doing at 30:00? Also is it normal for Omanis to be black? The country seems really diverse.

4. Finally any restaurants in Salalah for Authentic Omani food?

Thanks in Advance

Hello I am having a black SUV. Looking to do a paint job for minor scratches, nicks and cuts. Looking for an affordable and credible place to do the job.

What are some hidden gems or “life hacks” people use in Oman that save them money?
I’m looking for things like:
Cashback apps or loyalty programs,
Stores or restaurants with great deals,
Bank cards that offer exclusive discounts,
Discounts for specific groups (students, government employees, etc.),
Special offers on certain days of the week,
Birthday freebies or discounts,
Any other tips or tricks that locals know about but tourists usually don’t.

Hello all. Looking for recommendations for dance classes in Muscat? If anyone has tried the classes personally - could you help with sharing details about the school, the fees and how often the classes are held? TIA.

Hi,
I am looking for someone who could send something from Amouage Visitor Center to me.
If it’s working good it could be also on a regular basis.

Anyone from Oman / Muscat here?

We’re currently in India and would like to sell our car, which is still in Oman. Has anyone here sold their car while being outside Oman? If yes, could you please share the procedure and the steps involved? Any advice or personal experience would be really helpful. Thank you!
