The Sage of Santa Fe is having a senior moment

The British Council is not what the OP asked about. He wanted the CONSULATE.

Ask any taxi driver. It is quite far from the centre on the coastal road to Obhur.

Try "Al Konsuliya Al Britanniya" or "Al Sifara Al Britanniya". Of course it is the first but some taxi drivers are not too smart. If the first driver does not know ask another. the British Community Library is in the Consulate. It is near that hotel that sperailises in diving breaks. Oftenm used by airlines. Can't rfememebr the name.

But I don't have "senior moments, scot47 - senior days/weeks/months, rather.

I did find this:

Thanks John. The maps reminded me - the hotel is Al Bilad. I used to combine a visit to the Library with morning coffee and/or lunch ! Ah, the joys of Youth !

FUNDOK AL BILAD, Tarikh Obhur. If the taxidriver does not understand that, get another one !!!!!

Interesting that the lending libraries were at the British Council in Egypt and Oman, but I hear that they are all gone now. (the one in Egypt was fabulous... lots of books that should have been in a museum... very old tomes on Egypt... along with the usual newish novels)

Britsih Council Management decided some time ago that Libraries should be closed. Vandals,
