Lately a few stray incidents have bothered me and I'm starting to think how friendly is the tourism in Oman. So the troubles started when I invited my girlfriend of European descent to Oman. We were treated with beady eyes and some snide remarks by some young chaps at the border on a road trip to Dubai and lately she has been subject to quite a lot of cat calls in Ghoubra in Broad Daylight..... I've been a resident of Oman for nearly 2 decades and somehow I start to think that Oman is not fully ready to accept tourism with open hands..... Strangely some of the senior officials have been cheerful on the two of us and even shared a few jokes..... What are your thoughts on Oman's policies towards the tourists. We have traveled across SE Asia and even there we were never so uneasy but this is entirely different.
