Egypt has fantastic beaches. The Sinai is beautiful... Ras Mohamed National Park by Sharm El Sheikh is amazing and has some of the best snorkeling in the world. So does Marsa Alam and Al Quesir. That's the one thing I love most about Egypt- beaches. I have been hoping to visit Oman as I also heard they have great beaches.

Thank you for the responses about the Oman visas. That is good news, as like you said, if I know upfront I can negotiate with the school for a part-time or support position for my husband. He is highly qualified (he has a masters) to do plenty of things at a school (he's just not interested in being a full-time teacher). He is also going to start looking for positions (non-teaching) as well, as if he obtains one then it's not a problem. Knowing that, I'll still apply to a few places in Oman when I start looking for a new position a couple years down the road. Thanks for the help!

Hello,

I'm looking into Oman as a future location to teach in a couple years. I am a female teacher and I'd need a resident visa for my husband (who is not a teacher, but would accompany me). I read some things that lead me to wonder if it is only men that obtain work in Oman who can bring their accompanying wives and that women who obtain a position cannot obtain visas for their husbands. Anyone know for sure? Obviously if the school hired me and I couldn't get a visa for my husband, it's not worth me looking here. Thanks in advance.
