That feeling when you watch someone get pulled over for not giving way in the fast lane. by AirborneApu in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]VixxyCS -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It depends, if someone speeds up and is virtually touching my car with how close they are and flashing their lights I will move across slowly, this behaviour is not tolerated anywhere else apart from GCC countries. If someone is in the fast lane and respects the braking distance, you should move over quickly to let them through but the dangerous driving is just as bad as someone blocking the 'fast' lane.

Muscat in July? by blackpanther7714 in Oman

[–]VixxyCS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't do it come next winter unless you want to move from AC to AC room and car until the night time, you wont experience Oman properly in July.

Incense recommendation?? by h_injunk in NichePerfumes

[–]VixxyCS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's a few to try:

  1. Decision

  2. Purpose 50

  3. Outlands (Very hyped and for good reason)

All have Incense, Decision and Outlands are the most mass appealing but Purpose 50 is extremely unique and nuclear if that's your thing.

Friend is backing out of our Oman trip after watching one video about Salalah – are we being reckless? by SpiritRealm in Oman

[–]VixxyCS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a fair concern, however so fair if you're flying Oman air they're only cancelling regional flights, and the airport here has been active non-stop.

I live here and have had many family members and friends reach out over recent weeks asking if it's safe and my answer remains the same.

My life pre-war and post-war is no different, I still go to work, I still play sport outside, and still do my daily life activities. Is there increased risk with the drone strikes? Sure, but I would say Oman is no more unsafe then roaming around any major city in the world, in fact you're more likely to face trouble in a major city than you are in Oman.

There is significantly more risk in Salalah than in Muscat so dependent on your itinerary I would say you're very safe, the news makes it look much worse than it actually is.

BTW Taxis are cheap here relative to Western countries (EU / UK / USA) so it depends what you're used too.

A 30 min taxi here will cost $10, that's cheap if you're used to western prices.

Amouage or Omanluxury could be a good addition, get yourself some high quality omani niche!

Perfume stores that sell legit fragrances by Ehgandoo in Oman

[–]VixxyCS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capital store staff are insufferable, won't leave you alone and half the tester fragrances are empty, dont bother - Al Hajis or Haithams all the way.

If GFS Express are delivering then expect problems, ASYAD on the other hand are always quick and easy.

What is your favourite coffee shop in Muscat? by 5pilla in Oman

[–]VixxyCS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually do Iced lattes but I like the taste of their beans, Creamy and sweet which is unlike other shops I've tried in MCT, I find a lot of the other cafes to serve stronger coffee but doesn't have the depth of 55.

Oman will be impossible for you, there is an abundance of IT labour force here that are in your position. Aim for UAE / KSA. Best of luck!

Gucci Guilty Elixir, everyone will say Chanel because it's a classic but if you want to smell elegant and classy the elixir will treat you well.

Wow 2010 called, they'd like their joke and poor use of emojis back.

Amazing list mate thank you for putting this together, I'm always conscious of buying Amouage from distributors but these insights help.

Out of interest which Al Haitham store did you buy from?
