April 17th, Muscat, Oman
After sailing on the Arabian Sea we arrived around 07:30. As Sandra and I will be returning to Oman when we start our second cruise out of Dubai we decided to wander around Muscat on our own as we have a tour booked on the return journey.
Muscat is very interesting it is a wealthy city, very clean and orderly but very religious. The ruler is well respected even though he is a King with complete power. He however is very considerate of his people and spends a lot of money ensuring his people are happy. No one
pays income tax and schooling, hospitals etc. are free to all.
