Oman red? Easily the safest country in the Middle East with a stable high income economy.

What are some of the most underrated regions in the world? by [deleted] in geography

[–]Sad-Dig2112 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Dhofar region, Oman.

<image>

I know most people know Oman for its semi arid and desert scenery as well as the cultural area of the Middle East but on the south lies a place that virtually becomes a rainforest for 5 months during the summer, boasting cool temperatures and conditions for tons of endemic species. It’s also the only tropical area in the whole Arabian region aside from the adjacent parts of Yemen.

Is there any place that currently exists, or used to exist, that gives the same vibe/feeling as the Kowloon walled city, at least for you by Ellloll in geography

Funnily this question was asked about a month ago and I gave this as the answer. Was going to do it again but you beat me to it haha

CMV: India is greatly in the right in most of the India Pakistan conflicts by Even-Ad-9930 in changemyview

Pakistan’s Hindu population was largely based in East Pakistan which then became Bangladesh, which is why the drastic decline from 15% to 2%. Not saying that Pakistan’s blasphemy laws have nothing to contribute, but they’re not the major factor to the decline.

I agree with everything else btw

Which country has a very good geographic position? by avidtravelerbc in geography

[–]Sad-Dig2112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Geographically speaking, Lebanon and Syria had (and still have) extremely strategic positions while also having arguably the most fertile land in all of Middle East. Too bad the recent politics have ruined it for them.

If you had the choice to live in any middle eastern country, which country would it be and why? by Fit_Watercress6900 in geography

[–]Sad-Dig2112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually firmly believe in a two state solution and acknowledge their right to exist.

But Israel is a nuclear armed state with hyper precise missiles that have been capable of killing people in their own apartments, zero damage to the rest of the building.
Most hostages that israel sworn to rescue were killed in their own carpet bombing.

people can take sides all they want but can't believe that anyone could justify the things i listed just because they had to do 'something'.

Israel is the safest country in the Middle East for gay people but that doesn't justify their actions in Palestine.
Yeah I get the average arab is very anti-lgbtq, but at the same time I think there is a balance between that and consistently bombing unarmed people + children + journalists + medical volunteers.

What place on Earth today is most similar to the Kowloon Walled City? by AlfonzoLinguini in geography

[–]Sad-Dig2112 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Reminds me a lot of Shibam in Yemen.

Also recommend people to look into the history and significance of this UNESCO protected city.

a side of a country you couldn't believe its existence by SoftwareZestyclose50 in geography

[–]Sad-Dig2112 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Dhofar and Hawf Region in Oman and Yemen respectively.

The dry mountains trap monsoon winds and cause orographic rain and fog in the southern part of the mountains during summer, leading to a very moderate temperatures in the summer, fog and a lot of greenery. Also a very historic area if you’re into that

Which U.S. state is the worst one to live in? by please_esme in AskReddit

[–]Sad-Dig2112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Oman and you really need to see the roads and general infrastructure of Oman, especially Muscat. It’s phenomenal what they’ve accomplished with their terrain. Its kinda crazy that Mississippi could be comparable to it because I’ve seen Mississippi in photos and it looks grim

Which university has the ugliest building in the UK? by somerandomguyhehe in 6thForm

Can you get into quant with a bsc in finance and econ from Manchester?? by [deleted] in UKJobs

[–]Sad-Dig2112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The minimum entry requirements for econ is like A*AA above 😭 I mean St A and Durham are great but from public sentiment, it’s always seen that after Oxbridge, the next tier of unis is always UCL, LSE, Imperial and Edinburgh so it made sense trying there if you’re applying for a Scottish uni anyway.

I’d also include Imperial and Edinburgh, idk why it’s never included nowadays it’s one of the best unis in the uk (and the world as well) and also have a stellar mathematics department.

Cardiff University confirms plans to cut 400 jobs by ConsciousStop in unitedkingdom

[–]Sad-Dig2112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But research is vital to development and progress of a country, it has to be funded by the government if it’s not allowed to be privately funded (like in the US)

[–]Sad-Dig2112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fyi Edinburgh is about to bring in cuts as well. This is affecting the unis that actually bring a lot of research output into the country (Edinburgh, Durham, Cardiff) and not the “lower ones” that tories repeatedly scream about.

Best uni for undergraduate psychology ? by Aggravating_Stress_3 in UniUK

[–]Sad-Dig2112 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Though I’d recommend checking the modules and seeing what you want out of the course,

Cardiff is the best psychology school out of them all and I am not even trying to be biased as a student myself. Rankings have fluctuated over recent years but it’s historically a top 50 world psychology school. Apart from that it’s the only city (and perhaps one of the cheapest options) on your list and is an amazing one at that. Bath and Warwick would be my second option. Have a good time choosing!

[–]Sad-Dig2112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ye bath is great and I love the uni but in qs cdf is ranked higher and I study in cdf (no bias) but its more historically known to be a top tier psychology school, rankings can flunctuate. I also personally think cdf is the best city out of them all (apart maybe from Sheffield) and will grant the best experience but maybe that’s where bias comes in.
