The "InshaAllah..." Mindset Strikes Again
After having asked my husband to clean the yard "this week" 9 weeks running now, so that HIS guests can have a safe (and clean) place for their children to play, I do not feel bad at all posting this. Anyone who has been a English teacher in USA, or anywhere in Asia, and in the Middleeast, will relate. So will loads of others, so even though MOP DOES NOT fit the "inshaAllah" stereotype, I am mad about the "inshaAllah I will clean the yard" soooooo.... here goes.JAPANESE/CHINESE/KOREAN ATTITUDE FOR WORK:"If one can do it, I can do it. If no one can do it, I must do it."MIDDLE EASTERN ATTITUDE FOR WORK:"Wallahi, if one can do it, let him do it. If no one can do it, ya habibi how can I do it?"

"Caring What People Think Too Much in Oman"
Caring what people think too much, is a village's theme in Oman. Which is why my husband, who loves his village more passionatley than many who actually reside there, does not want to live there at this point in his life. Same goes for his cousin, who has all her family and friends there, but wishes often, that she could escape to a nice cosy apartment in Muscat.Example: my sister in law recently purchased the abaya pictured below.

2 Acres GreenWood Drive Nyali, Corner Plot

These are a few pictures of a 2 acre property on Greenwood Drive. This is a highly desirable corner plot and is ideal for development as you can see in the background major developments have taken place. The area is very popular and I have inquired if there are any available flats in the surrounding buildings but all have been occupied.
This is a beautiful plot and I have been informed that if a high rise is constructed you would be able to see the sea.
Copies of the deeds for this property are available. Viewing of the plot is by appointment only as per the owners strict polices.
The asking price, which is very reasonable for its high end location, is 65M per acre. Once interested in purchasing negotiation can take place directly with the owners.

These are 3 bedroom Maisonettes located at Bombolulu… Very well built and the rental income is really good in that area with high demand… Only two units available for sale… A good investment with good returns

Beach Plot Mtwapa

7 Acre Beach Plot Mtwapa - for sale

Beautiful Seven Acre Beach Plot At Mtwapa.
This plot is located at Mtwapa. It is a seven acre plot, with almost 6 acres undeveloped. The one acre that has been built upon includes two sea facing houses with a swimming pool, store, car parks and private access to the beach.
This plot is ideal for constructing Villas, since the access to the beach already exists the only thing remaining is the construction of the Villas. A good example of such a project is the Wonder Paradise Beach Resort located at South Coast. The development could consist of a stretch of several Villas facing the swimming pool with each Villa having access to the beach. The houses that already exist could be brought down and a lounge area could be put up instead.
The owner is asking for 25M per acre but he is very keen for a quick sale it so there is lots of room for negotiation, which could bring the price down significantly.
Mtwapa is being developed at an alarming rate. This place is in huge demand hence a very good investment, prices for a 50 x 80 plot at the moment are going for 2.5M.
The pictures say the rest
