To Middle East Beast et al,

I spent a year in Ibri, and together with 3 colleagues, had no intention of buying a car. I managed to speak to a neighbour, who was a taxi driver, and with no difficulty at all, we arranged a morning/evening run. He picked us up in the morning, then collected us at the end of the day. He was 99% reliable.

At the weekends, he drove us to Nizwa (or wherever) for some R and R at the Falaj Daris Hotel, and collected us afterwards. He was reliable, punctual and polite and obviously very keen on the regular work.

So yes, it can definitely be organised. I cannot remember exactly the cost, but it was decidedly cheaper than running a car.
