I have visited this Emirate several times although I have not worked there. It is on the Arabian sea / indian ocean side of the UAE about 2 hrs drive from Dubai. It is a resort town with loads of asian traders and promenades, definatly not in the same league as Dubai. However the scenery and sea is stunning with the mountains of north Oman just up the coast.
The airport has a single runway (ex RAF I think) and a small apron with a small terminal and freight shed. Most of the time it is quiet but has hectic moments when the CIS transports and shoppers arrive. These aircraft are usually TU154s IL18s IL76 etc. In addition there are visits from the US Navy C9s and P3s and USAF C5s C141s.
Hope this helps.
