My husband has been offered a job in Oman, and we're weighing the pros and cons before he accepts. We've never lived in a Middle Eastern country, though we have travelled extensively. Can anybody comment on the restrictive nature of the culture? Is it difficult to live in Oman according to liberal western habits? Do women need to wear headscarves all the time?
