oman

• hi rachel!
  I'm an expat woman working here in Oman. Its not safe to go by your own. I've been here for quite a while.
  
  Don't go out alone, and make sure you rent your own car.
  NEVER ride a taxi on your own!
  NEVER trust anyone.
  
  thats all I can say. But Oman is a very nice place. its so peaceful. in general, people are nice.
  
  but there is a "but" :
  You will experienced cars stopping by you, asking you where you wanna go. You might say its okay...its just a ride. but the other girls who did, were not able to go back home.
  
  just travel with a companion.
  rent your own vehicle. then you'll be safe.
  better yet, look for someone from ireland as well that can show you around muscat.
  
  like one girl was asked to get a ride on her way home from work,(hotel) since its just a few blocks away she said yes. and the next day she was found dead and was thrown in the cliff.
  
  so better think again.
  we only lived once so better take care.
  
  
  if you have some questions i would love to help.
