Order Up A McArabia At The McDonalds In Muscat, Oman

It's a new year and you know what that means? Time to continue discovering the world'smost shocking McDonalds locations, and with the help of a Jaunted reader, we're heading back into the Middle East.

Last time we hit up a shocking golden arches, it was in the middle of Israel's Negev Desert, and this time it's in Muscat, Oman. Accompanying this photo, the reader shared her shock:

I snapped this picture while touring through Muscat, Oman in the Middle East. Strange sight indeed!

We just hope she opted to try the McArabia sandwich! Apparently this McDonalds was the third McDs to open in the Middle East, way back in 1994 after Ronald stepped into Riyadh and Jeddah first.

Got another shocking McDonald's location we should know about? This is going to be a running series, so email us your suggestions!

More Muscat, Please

Didn't we promise you some Omani blog action? We're too good to you folks. If you got interested in the country (which is on the southern tip of the Arabian peninsula, between Yemen and the UAE) like we did because of the Amazing Race's pit stop there, this post is for you. Of course, Tony Wheeler of Lonely Planet thinks Oman's going to be next big thing, as well. It's probably one of the few things that he and Phil from the Amazing Race agree upon.  

The Muscatis covers the vagaries of life in Oman. It's perfect entryway into the world of Muscat, (the capital) and the daily life of a resident there. The blog is pretty in-depth; there's stuff about the higher education system and zoning, for example, but don't let that scare you off. There are posts about iPods and toothpaste, too. Anyway, check it out, so that when you get to Oman, you'll know a lot more about it than the Amazing Racers did.
