The answer to "Publicly Available" should be "No", but for some reason I got an error when I tried to do this, so I put it as "Not Sure".

Hey, sorry for not responding earlier. I am living in another country for the next three to four years, so unfortunately I won't be posting any more reviews except when I come back to Oman for holiday! :(

@ThuG_PoeT they are created by the same person, they don't serve the same menu.

Re: Said bin Taimur Mosque

Riyadh — Thu, 06 Feb 2014 07:48:04 -0000

It is a beautiful mosque, but unfortunately it is not open for non-Muslims at any time.

The one near KFC.

Re: Bahla Fort

Riyadh — Wed, 02 Oct 2013 00:44:32 -0000

Hi @Karen unlike most other forts in Oman, Bahla fort is administered by the Ministry of Heritage and Culture and not the Ministry of Tourism. This means that it does not have regular working hours, however I checked with them and it seems that they are 'likely' to be open during Eid holiday. The number to call for information about this fort is 0096825413041, they only speak Arabic though.

The way they put that pizza in the box is just not appropriate.

Re: Richoux – Opera Galleria

Hi Philip, thanks for your feedback. I agree, the standards are low in this country and not a lot of people complain about this.

A star rating system has been an idea that I would like to implement for a while, but I couldn't find a technical solution to do it yet!!

Re: Sultan Taimur bin Faisal Moque

Riyadh — Sat, 02 Mar 2013 06:15:03 -0000

Totally agree with you Vinny in how beautiful this mosque is. It is surprising how few people know about it!

Re: Retro – Shatti Al Qurum

Riyadh — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 22:32:50 -0000

@ashley is there a special dish which you liked and you can recommend to others?

Re: Retro – Shatti Al Qurum

Riyadh — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 22:32:15 -0000

It's really difficult not to compare burger places to B+F, but I have to agree the owners of Retro must've worked hard to launch this restaurant. You didn't tell us if you actually tried their food?

Re: 360 – Ghala

Riyadh — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 22:26:59 -0000

@Richard to be honest I can't think of a restaurant that is worth a drive outside Muscat, but if you plan a day trip to Musannah the restaurants in hotel Millennium are nice, also in Sohar there is an Asian restaurant called Mandarin located in Sohar Plaza (where the cinema is) which is very decent - I eat there all the time when I'm in Sohar.

Re: 360 – Ghala

Riyadh — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 12:25:31 -0000

Hey @Moosa , are you sure they didn't have any vegetarian options? I'm sure they must've had salads and vegetarian sushi (maki).

@Richard hey Richard, thanks for sharing your experience with us. I think Andy likes to keep the comments on his website positive, I don't think it was something personal against you. With that being said, be assured that the Omani Cuisine does not censor its members (except in instances of potential legal liability).

I personally had a good experience at 360, but from what I heard from people I know, and from the comments above, it seems that not a lot of people had the same experience as me.

Re: Nizwa Fort

Riyadh — Sat, 26 Jan 2013 09:08:20 -0000

Like all forts open to the public, Nizwa fort is open 9am to 4pm Saturday to Thursday, and 9am to 11am on Friday. The souq also has a special live auctions on early Friday mornings.

Re: The Indus – Opera Galleria

Riyadh — Wed, 26 Dec 2012 12:38:32 -0000

Last time I passed by the Opera House I noticed that they installed a proper sign in front the entrance to The Indus, so many they got rid of the carpet. (Not sure)

Re: Al Khairan Restaurant – Al Bustan Palace
