Do they mean Sohar? This is 2 hours drive norht west of Muscat. Not good news as the company I work for are providing technical assistance in the utility operations at the port.

Hope this doesn't spread as I am spending most of my time in Oman looking at the water supply system and I have some very tight deadlines over the next 5 months. Still, beats being in Riyadh....

Getting closer...

Although I cannot see it ever kicking off here, what do they have to complain about, being Emirati must be about the easiest gig going!

Quite. Inless the powers that be decided that everyone MUST work....then there'd be riots on every street (desert) corner!!!

It's called Emiratisation!

Sit in the corner, get paid twice as much as anybody else, but ffs don't touch or do ANYTHING!

Oh and we can never fire you either!

job satisfaction much??
