About Muscat
Oman’s largest city is a far cry from near-ish neighbour, Dubai. Almost all the action – dining, drinking, dancing, music – goes on in the International 5-star hotels. Oman is a very traditional Muslim country, so don’t expect strip clubs or escorts. There are some hookers but they’re mainly Chinese and thin on the ground. If you have to try and find one, ask a taxi driver!
