When we asked people about diversity in Oman and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...

"The Omanis are actually a small percentage of the people in this city, as labor is mostly imported from other countries such as India, the Phillipines, Sri Lanka and others. In addition, many of the technical experts here are imported from Europe and the United States. The Omanis appear to be very friendly and tolerant and even interested in the differences of the Europeans and Americans; however, the laborer tend to be looked down upon," wrote a member who made the move to Muscat, Oman.
