JW411 Definitely go back - to Oman!
Don't judge that part of the world by Dubai - Oman saw what happened there and determined not to let it happen to them. No high rises, limits on foreign ownership etc etc.
I did SOAF after 78 Wessex (via 72!) and have been back a few times, both with and without Milady Teeters. Hoping to go back again next year (with!).
Unlike many, the Omanis are still grateful for the help the Brits gave them all that time ago.......
