oman is the most exciting place i have

ever been. after reading the lonely planet version

of Oman i was left with NO IMPRESSION.

I arrived to find it exciting, stunning and

full of activities. The books prices for hotels and

taxis, juice etc were ALL WAY OFF. All too high.

For instance a fresh made juice in front of you

cost one hundred omani basas...

a coke one hundred basa

a dinner one riyal

a hotel varied.

a taxi ride 200 basa for a few kilometers..

and the book gave no feeling or emotion to the

country at all... i browse thru it, and after arriving never openned it again. in fact i left it behind in oman as i

found it to be a heavy wieght with no signifigance.

perhaps the AUTHOR was fearful of Muslim countries and did

not like Omanis...too bad. I will never buy lonley planet

products again...
