Where is Samail? It says Samail, Muscat... but how far is that from the capital?

Samail is about 50 minutes drive from Muscat on the expressway to Nizwa. It is a spread out town with about 10 football fields, and not far from Samail is located the first ever mosque constructed in Oman. |

It is a mountainous little town. There is a big wadi closeby and the town is surrounded by mountains, close to Jabali Akhdar (Green Mountain). I doubt if there is any life for an expat out there. |

Sumail is a very pleaseant little town, and it has very good connections to the Capital Area.
There are links to the expressway that goes from the Capital to Nizwa, and to the road that goes from the Capital to Sur (which itself links to the same expressway).
If you were living in the Al Khod area near the Sultan Qaboos University, or in Seeb, it would be peffectly possible to commute to Sumai, and the trip would be unlikely to take more than 35 minutes - particularly as, in the mornings and evenings, you would be driving in the opposite direction to most of the traffic.
For an expatriate, Sumail would be no more difficult than Rustaq, Ibra or Ibri - and it could have advantages in terms of its proximity to the City Centre Complex and in terms of the climate. |

Does anyone have the telephone number for this center in Sohar? (Otherwise, I'll take the one in Muscat.) |

My advice would be to avoid them. From what I saw in Sohar, they are a small-time institute struggling to stay afloat by teaching anything they can. The owner was very unreliable and always breaking promises. |

The sad thing about this is that students will have paid money in good faith that they were receiving certificates with some value.
I hope the Ministry of Manpower investigate and close them (and do something about the two scam artists named in the reports). |
