There is also an Oman gov. radio in English. I'm an English speaking expat.... It isn't that hard to find out.<br /><br />The ROP also were answering any questions from those who phoned (they have English lines) and the airport gave good weather references. As for the ROP website, um yeah, that SHOULD be updated with info but is not but you can write them and suggest that.<br /><br />Their current alert is orange.
