I recently visited Oman and was very impressed by the warm and friendly welcome we received. The Omani peple are very proud of their country and eager to show it off to visitors. One of my colleagues from Salford University was travelling home to Oman the same weekend I travelled out there and offered to show me round Muscat. A safe and beautiful country - it is well worth a visit. I just hope the cyclone didn't leave too much destruction.
