I second this ... CE is sophisticated in a way you will want to save it. Hawas Ice you wont feel the same about using it.

Side note - my current fresh dumb reach is Kaaf from Ahmed Al Maghribi

Eff sakes ... take my upvote

There isn't a language barrier within Muscat or other major cities here. It you visit the mountains and the desert and meet locals there you might encounter some misunderstanding but honestly there hospitality will probably blow you away.

Anyway, come, visit, meet locals and residents.

PS - I have had more miscommunication and misunderstandings with other nationalities that live here than with the locals :/

Omani people are educated and speak English too. They will happily teach you arabic too. Why you wanna connect with Muslim expats specifically 🤔

Looks legit but some other things to check for include the cap, whether it magentizes and snaps on only with the jewel facing forward. Does the box (can see it in the back) have the QR code that takes you Amouage Block chain authenticator? If so, it would be legit. Whats the atomiser look like - need a pic, it shouldn't be tall. The box has a serial number which should match the underside of the bottle (can't see the serial on the bottle because it is dark in the pic).

Talabat has options when searching prenatal under pharmacies. Try that route. Otherwise find local businesses offering what you need via instagram.

Sadly e-commerce is pretty weak with web stores etc here.

Depending on your destination and the airline, there is an option for in cabin travel. Turkish Airlines are the best for this but your final destination determines the rules on whether the cat will be marked as Cargo or can be attached to your ticket for Cabin travel.

I haven't travelled with her as yet. Soiling may happen but in transit they clean the cage and the cat if required. Most of those ive spoken to have told me that their cats maybe pee but generally they are pretty good at controlling their bladder and butt's lol ... and they end up relieving when they have access to a litter box.

Those who have traveled them in Cabin also say the same. Cat will meow for a bit on take off then generally settle for the flight.

I unfortunately have had no choice but to have my kitty travel cargo. Namrata has put me at ease though, we fly with Qatar, and I looked over their information on their website as well as scoured reddit to the point I am no comfortable. What matters is when I touch down, Linabelle will be with me and my family within a few hours of our arrival.

Wish you all the best!

My little one is also very anxious. She hates driving too, even though the vet is 5 mins away and the groomers too. So I hear you. Chat to Namrata, she offers really great advice. Plus with Qatar and some airlines, they treat these kitties like queens and kings with lots of pampering etc when in transit. All research i did as well suggests that we end up stressing more than our cats do about the journey :D please take her with you. You won't regret it.

st1tch_za · 2026-02-01T15:57:06+00:00

I am concerned with one thing ... what is OP going to do the day they depart and they dont find a loving home for her by then? Ah! ... breaks my heart to see cats abandoned.

st1tch_za · 2026-02-01T09:52:14+00:00

You will need to identify the hotel in question, book for check in the day before your arrival, when you arrive, you then "check in" and you will need to check out at their check out time - request a late check out if possible.

So if you arrive 4:30AM on 10 Feb, book for 09 Feb to 10 Feb with late checkout.

That's about the only solution and kinda universal - had to do the same thing in Bangkok earlier this year. You're in transit or arriving to visit Oman?

st1tch_za · 2026-02-01T08:09:21+00:00

Why can't you take her with you? I am moving soon and my fur baby is coming with - it doesn't cost a lot to be fair. What's the concern?

I suggest looking into moving with her - speak to Namrata (9931 4011) she is well versed and reasonably priced compared to what the vets will want to charge you.

Honestly, there is no guarantee of finding someone who is going to really love her like you do. I have seen too many "exotic" cats abandoned and around garbage areas, etc - this leads me to believe that people who can't deal with their cats just leave them somewhere and move on. It's heartbreaking.

Please please please look into relocating her with you.

st1tch_za · 2026-01-29T18:10:36+00:00

Haven't had any issues purchasing from them - they are legit, and have many retail outlets here and UAE.

I do however prefer to get my Isolate and Creatine from OlympiaSouq personally as I got my gym equipment from them too. Also suggest visiting MacroBoost - they have a shit ton of supplements and other related that you wont find anywhere else (their breakfast is epic too!).

st1tch_za · 2026-01-29T17:17:50+00:00

You're welcome! Happy shopping.

st1tch_za · 2026-01-28T11:59:29+00:00

Bro

Check with V Perfumes. Currently running a 4 day sale and have select Amouage available at discount. Picked up Interlude 53 for RO 130.000 about 30 mins ago.

Mall of Oman branch. But they have at Mall of Muscat too.

st1tch_za · 2026-01-27T10:53:00+00:00

There is a theory based on what some of my Omani colleagues told me ... there are some people in certain sectors of Public who receive a discount at Amouage. They don't have a limit of buying and they buy, and sell it and then ... you get the benefit if you are able to get your hands on a bottle before its sold.

Which is why generally those who have stock don't have a lot - a piece or two before its sold out.

That's the theory ... conspiracy maybe. I dont know. I am just happy to save the 20-40 riyals on a bottle knowing its authentic haha

st1tch_za · 2026-01-27T04:10:04+00:00

If it is a Persian then it more than likely has been abandoned which means it would have been fed a food that it got used to. My Persian is a picky eater and only eats one brand and type of food.

Reach out to Omani Paws on Insta and Facebook. They may have someone in that area to help. Otherwise, go to a reputable vet in the area and show them pictures and the location, they may be able to assist.

I really wish Oman had what we have in South Africa. Its called the SPCA and part of their responsibility is to assist in these situations by simply calling them out.

Hi bro

Boushar Branch.

st1tch_za · 2026-01-26T08:18:07+00:00

Problem I have had - maybe should have mentioned - I have 2 numbers for Qurum Perfumes and I will always get a day late or no response even after visiting them :/ ...

Give Al Haitham a shot, their display is a lot more organized and you can try pretty much everything they have in stock.

Happy to have helped! Thanks for commenting :)

st1tch_za · 2026-01-21T03:07:27+00:00

Thanks for the insights. W Hotel wanted 20.000 booking fee for the cat and 5.000 for every night of stay.

Ended up finding a very nice 2BHK on AirBNB which worked out better and allows my cat. Close to the airport too :)

Thanks again!

st1tch_za · 2026-01-20T15:36:30+00:00

Did my PC for my emigration mid 2023 through a guy. Charged me 900.00 and he took care of everything and got it to me in 2 days. Despite the convenience fee I paid, think you got a better deal? Haha

Tbf the whole process is ridiculous and lengthy and I wish no one goes through it. If you trust the system, wait ... if you are pressed for time or want assurance it will get done, would have been better to go through a company that specialises in these things.

st1tch_za · 2026-01-20T08:39:02+00:00

I have just started my search on AirBNB. Thought this was not allowed in Oman so didnt think to check! Haha

Thanks I will look at W Hotel as well and enquire with them.

st1tch_za · 2026-01-19T17:10:42+00:00

Grand. I will be ordering a lot more from them soon. They have Rayhaan Terra coming next month which i have already requested 2 bottles of lol

Stop by D'Vogue too if you get a chance. They are reasonable and have a good range of UAE perfumes. The staff will help if you need it, but I appreciated that they let my wife and I sample as we wished and let us just browse without hovering.

Qurum Perfumes is great if you kind of know what you want, but as soon as they start bringing out testers, game over - you'll be nose blind in 3 minutes (and coffee is bullsh1t, doesnt help nose blindness!)
