Oman needs many more small, boutique hotels. Many tourists do not want big, resort style hotels. They want more unique, rustic experience­s.

Jane Jaffer Author and founder of Dar al Atta’a’s Let’s Read Campaign

Unfortunat­ely, Oman does not have anywhere near enough entertainm­ent facilities for tourists or even the local population. We need many more indoor sports facilities, fun activities for children such as KidZania and The

Green Planet, water parks and places of interest. We also need free entertainm­ent like water fountain displays, parks, and low-cost accommodat­ion and clean bathrooms at all places of interest. The local people should benefit from tourists, not just the big internatio­nal hotels. We should also be catering for special interest group tourists like divers and mountainee­rs.

No, but there is a lot of scope, considerin­g Oman is such a beautiful country with a lot of land. As for what can be added to make the sultanate more tourist-friendly, it needs a big indoor internatio­nal-standard amusement and water park keeping in mind the theme and culture of Oman. Such a concept will make it unique from any other amusement park in the world.

Oman has scope to improve its tourism attraction­s by having more entertainm­ent facilities, including adventure and water parks.

Yes, the sultanate has extensive entertainm­ent facilities for those interested in nature, history and culture. I believe citizens, the youth in particular, can be more actively engaged in tourism activities by interactin­g with visitors and helping them understand the local culture.

We need F1 Gran Prix and Nascar circuits. If Bahrain, KSA and Qatar can have such facilities, why not Oman?

Surely people visit Oman for the unique culture and overwhelmi­ng beauty of nature... when returning home they can have the entertainm­ent choices they wish! Or maybe try an outstandin­g performanc­e at the Royal Opera House… COVID-19 rules allowing. PLEASE Oman, don't change that which doesn't need change!

I don't think there’s need for anything more. It’s

very beautiful and the people are friendly. Please don’t make it like Dubai, or anything else. But I do think Oman should have train facilities.

My only experience of Oman is limited to that of a tourist, and my belief is Oman is great... it is NOT Dubai!

Oman needs trains throughout the country, metro in the cities and more public buses to travel around the country and the cities.

Muscat is not a pedestrian friendly city... very difficult to walk around.

Oman needs to keep itself the way it is. This is why it is so unique. Maybe renting bikes to tourists, especially in Muttrah, might be a good idea. And yes, more public toilets.

More public toilets – clean toilets.

Improve street food facilities, offering different kinds of cuisine. It should be an authorised establishm­ent, like the one at Ittin Park in Salalah. We need one in Muscat, Nizwa and other places. People enjoy food while enjoying the outdoors.

Oman is beautiful and is definitely the address of beauty. Please leave it as it is - unique. We do not need another Dubai in Oman or to be compared with any other country.

Oman is beautiful. My only heartbreak is how stray dogs are treated in Oman.

Water parks and one huge amusement park with everything.

Oman needs proper amusement and water parks for entertainm­ent. Cruise dinners and safari parks/zoo will be new forms of entertainm­ent.

 ?? ?? Known for its unique tourist attraction­s, including wadis, deserts, beaches and mountains, Oman’s natural assets are popular in the GCC; it is the jewel of the region. Among the sultanate’s numerous attraction­s are Jabal Shams, the sultanate’s tallest mountain and a popular camping destinatio­n. Other popular tourist activities include sand skiing in the desert, mountainee­ring and camel racing. But does Oman have enough entertainm­ent facilities?
