Comments	return to the Muscat area after ...22 years . Alas , climate change and pollution once again have taken their tolls : coral bleaching , drop in fish population . Although the isles and region around Muscat have remained deserted and lovely . Sightseeing - Unesco sites such as Bahla ; the city of Muscat etc. - to complement the underwater deception . Oman is a beautiful place Caution : although Oman on a whole is a safe place ( it is considered as the "Switzerland of the Middle East " ) women travelling alone should be warned : even in the 21st century , in Oman ,any lone woman can be considered as a prostitute .E.g. : a hostess from Shangri-La travelling by herself by taxi to Muscat - 1/2 hr's drive - has been raped .
