Dont know anything about the job, been past the airport and town a few times whilst on route to Dibba (northern oman) for diving. The airport is very quiet with an assortment of russian airliners and Us military, most flights bring wealthy Russians, Ukranians etc for shopping trips.
The town is quite pleasant with a promenade, beach is a bit dirty. It certainly isnt Dubai. ! Dubai is about 2 - 2 1/2 hours drive.
