No I just not rank Oman with Australia etc. Besides, I'd love to visit Oman, swim in their waters, but am a bit afraid that my Israeli passport will raise many a cop's eyebrow, and if them guys see my binocluars, it's jail direct! (and some torture. Nothing unacceptable, but nothing to look for either)

Now if they see my French passport, but have word of the another one, it's just as bad.

ie:
A couple of years ago an Israeli/French tourist guide was tipped off to the Egyptian border police for having two passports by some mean colleague of his. At his first attempt to cross the border with a bus load of Euro/US tourists on their way to the Pyramides, the whole bus was stopped for three hours, just to check on the guy.
Hassling only.

So these years, I feel that Palestinian terror attacks and/or Mister Saddam loaded missiles are good enough; but those risks are much smaller than myself "confronting head on" the police authorities anywhere in the arabian continent. But I don't feel it's my fault (g+ng).

>>>>Sultan Qaboos of Oman has been a long time supporter of the British & American governments. Thats how he has survived this long. If u get a chance, try visiting the royal palaces in Muscat and Sallallah - you will see what I mean.<<<

I guess we've taken a leaf from Saddam's book, hiding our invasion troops and equipment in the Sultan's palaces. Brilliant.
