5. Climate
When you visit me in
the daytime, you
should wear…
Short sleeve shirt
Shorts
In the nighttime…
Warm clothes in general
I’m really cold at
night but pretty hot
in the daytime. It
can get up to 95° F at
my hottest time of
the year. So pack
well!!!!
6. Sightseeing
When you travel to me, you may find one of the
most historic trees in the whole world, the
Frankincense tree.
If you’re a climber, make sure to visit Jabal Shams,
or Sun Mountain. It is the tallest mountain peak on
the Arabian peninsula.
Stop at the Royal Opera House in Muscat for a
beautiful opera as well as immaculate architecture.
14. When you do arrive you will most likely
need a hotel. My favorite is the
InterContinental Muscat because is has
tennis courts. but most of my people like
the Al Bustan Palace.
17. THERE HAVE BEEN INCIDENTS WHERE U.S.
EMBASSIES WERE ATTACKED BY
TERRORISTS. TRY NOT TO BRING
ANYTHING EXPENSIVE OR UNNECESSARY
CREDIT CARDS SO YOU DRAW NO
UNWANTED ATTENTION.
Be careful!
18. My country is lead by a Sultan. Currently Qaboos bin
Said Al- Said is Prime Minister and Sultan. He has
ruled as Sultan since July 23, 1970 and Prime
Minister since July 23, 1972. I also have an
executive, legislative, and judicial branch in my
government just like you Americans.
19. 1 US DOLLAR = .
384945 RIALS
My official currency is the
Omani Rial.
21. Oh yeah! Don’t forget that I am home
to the tallest mountain peak on the
Arabian peninsula.
22. You should visit me because I have
beautiful mountains mixed in to sandy
coasts all in one country. I’m the best of
both worlds. I also have great climbing and
awesome hotels!!!
23. By the way, in a recent survey, I
was ranked 26th
out of 156 countries
in the world in happiness
“Don’t worry, Be happy!”
