Omanis are friendly people and are very helpful to tourists. In turn, tourists should respect the ways and traditions of the Omani people.



Omanis are proud of their country's rapid progress, and locals will often point out to tourists that the road they are driving on is only 10 years old and that the journey used to take much longer.



Good roads are not the only things Omanis have to be proud of. Excellent schools and hospitals, good governance, and on-going infrastructure improvement make Oman one of the leading countries of the Arabian peninsula.
