Do I need a car? can i use public transport?

Hi ak299,

Own transportation is essential to lead a hassle-free life in Muscat.

Public transportation here is a totally disorganised sector, and one that is none too safe for single woman.

Come summer, (well, it is already here), walking to the taxi stands and waiting in open spaces could be unbearable.

Plus, you must also factor in the numerous unwanted offers and attention which will be given to you to offer you a 'lift' by all and sundry on the roads.

In short, it is nothing like being on your own.

Thank you very much for your reply.

I have another question if I may. I have a British Full Driving License. Do I need to re-take a test in Oman or is my driving license enough?
