Expats in Oman

OMAN STUDIES CENTRE

Expatriates in Oman:
a Directory of Personal Homepages and E-mail addresses of expats living in Oman or formerly based in Oman
This is a directory of the URLs of personal homepages and and of e-mail addresses of expatriates living in the Sultanate of Oman. We have also included URLs of some personal homepages whose owners have left Oman but who retain close links with Oman. Some of the pages contain useful information on Oman. If you wish to add or remove your homepage, correct any mistakes, or recommend further websites for inclusion in the directory, please e-mail to omandoc@pobox.com. Personal homepages of Omanis are listed on our page of Omanis on the WWW. Keep these lists growing! URLs which we have removed because they are no longer working are now here. Another useful resource to trace websurfers in Oman is the Muscat - Oman ICQ List.
