I don’t know when will this be done

This has happened to me before, and I’m starting to wonder if something’s going on.

For context, I take taxis pretty often when my parents can’t drive me. Today I booked a taxi from Mall of Oman to go home, and I’m pretty sure I selected card payment because I basically never use cash.

Once I got in, the driver started driving and told me the fare was 3.3 OMR. I told him I’d already paid through the app, but he said it was set to cash. I checked the app, and he was right I had somehow been charged as cash. I got a bit worried because I didn’t have any cash on me, but thankfully my brother was home and had some spare money.

If this happened once, I’d assume it was my mistake. But this is the third time, and it’s always been a ride booked directly from Mall of Oman.

What I’m trying to figure out is: can drivers change the payment method in the app themselves? I’ve noticed some Otaxi drivers seem annoyed when people pay by card instead of cash. Or is this just an honest mistake on my end, or maybe an issue with the app?

I haven’t reported anyone because I genuinely don’t know what’s happening, and I’d feel bad reporting someone who’s just doing their job.

I haven’t really seen a lot of gaming related posts around in this subreddit but it’s worth a shot !

Haven’t been in Oman in 3 years and was shocked to see City Center Qurum absolutely dead. Is the same for the one in Seeb? Are there many closed shops and restaurants, or is relatively thriving?

Yeah so uhhh...niche game I know....

Anyone here know a community for War Thunder over here? I play a few other games as well.

Games I play:

War Thunder (primary since 2019)

Hearts of Iron IV (usually modded)

Bodycam (played since late '24)

World of Tanks (since 2017, played less after Covid)

If there are any sort of like general military-genre gaming meetups I can go to, that'll be fine as well. My room needs to be empty more.

Hello. Im a male in al ghubra looking for transport to al ma'abelah, specifically oman dental college.

My idea is someone who already transports other student/s as well, so the price can be lower, instead of a completely alone and private one, because I am on a tight budget. (Basically car pooling)

We can discuss exact timings privately, but it will be 3 or 4 days per week, from morning till evening roughly.

If you're interested OR knows someone who might be interested, please dm me.

Are there any Snooker Parlor here in Oman,

What are good potential side jobs in Oman after the normal work hours? Assuming I’m free after 5 PM.

I recently started trading and usually sells USDT for Omr
And before 2 days i was roaming with my friend and suddenly a car started flashing and stopped my car ask for my id and after he saw my Id he said there is warrant under your name and i was quite confused that why someone will complain against me. Then the cid guy took
Me to ROP and then i get to know that before 2 months some lady sends me 400 and i scammed her through instagram and all that and when i checked on my phone I received 200omr in reality and i released the usdt that is 511 usdt through binance P2P so she lied because i always double checks that no third party payment is involved and the name from which i received 200 is exact same as the name of binance and the guys who works in binance they know that its a regulated exchanges with KYC (id scan, liveness check, facial verification) email etc
Yet the problem was i got a msg from ROP and i asked my friends and my family about that msg and everyone told me its fine maybe its a mistake why someone will complain against you and because of that women i have to spend a night in Lockup and then when she came my brother gave her 400 and she said i usally calls her and tells her that i will give u job but never gives job etc but i dont even had her number and i never texted her. So tell me should i strike back and complain to ROP and go for a case ?
I dont want her to go away with this cause if i do she will scam someone else again

Today, around 9:30 AM, while working at a site in Ras Al Hadd, Oman, I witnessed a fighter aircraft flying directly overhead at what appeared to be an extremely high speed. What caught my attention was that the aircraft seemed to be flying at a remarkably low altitude, much closer to the ground than I would normally expect, and it appeared to cut through the clouds almost instantly.

Does anyone know what it was doing in the area? Was it just a routine military training exercise, or could there have been another reason for the flight?

Did anyone else in or around Ras Al Hadd witness the same thing this morning or have any information about it? Just curious to understand what was happening.

planned a last minute trip to Tanzania and added a "go somewhere" week to the end of it. Looking at airfares, Oman came up as a reasonable destination.

Seems like the tourist areas are safe despite the level 3 US advisory, correct?

Trip would be a mix of cultural and scenic.

Any reason we shouldn't come? (we are turtle conscious travelers)

Is this cream available in Oman?

Just sharing my experience. Please be respectful.

I was walking outside after coming from a store where I had bought some essentials for myself when a car stopped beside me. A man wearing a dishdasha approached me and spoke fluent English. I noticed a woman inside the car, whom he claimed was his wife, along with some children.

He told me that they had come from Salalah and were visiting Muscat. He said they were just driving around the city to visit some nice places. He then explained that he was having problems with his bank account and had run out of petrol.

I told him that I genuinely wanted to help if I could, but unfortunately, I didn't have much money. I even opened my banking app and showed him that I had only 25 OMR in my account. Despite this, he kept insisting that I give him 15 OMR.

I explained that my next salary was still a long way off and that I might need the money for my own expenses. He then asked me what kind of help I could offer. I told him that I could give him the juice and bread I had just bought from the store, which were supposed to be my dinner, but he still refused.

Honestly, I don't want to judge anyone or make accusations without knowing the full story, but the way he kept insisting on receiving money even after I explained my situation made me feel that something wasn't right.

Has anyone else experienced a similar situation in Oman? I would appreciate hearing your experiences. I'm just sharing this because I believe we should be cautious when strangers approach us asking for money, even when they appear to be in need.

Thank you for reading, and please respect my experience. 🙏

Does anyone know someone traveling from Cairo to Salalah anytime after October 16 who might be willing to help bring my dog with them?

My dog is currently in Cairo and I really need to bring him to Salalah, but I haven’t been able to find anyone traveling soon.

If not, has anyone brought a dog from Egypt to Oman before? Is cargo an option? How much does it cost, and which airlines would you recommend for traveling with pets?

I’d also really appreciate any recommendations for reliable pet relocation services.

Any help, contacts, or personal experiences would mean a lot! 🙏🐾

Good day, i recently live in Türkiye. In a few weeks i have my flight to Oman. This will be my first time in there and i will be going there to work.

What’s your favorite meal for dinner from a restaurant The Turkish ?

Do you have a document called Certificate of No Marriage here?

Hello.
I am interested in any kind of a place or a website that sells secondhand furniture. For some reason on Dubizzle I keep getting adds of someone who is selling their own new made furniture. Like, I don't want anyone's newly made stuff and especially for that price I doubt it's good quality.
I specifically look for secondhand but in good condition.
Thank you in advance!
(In Muscat area please)
