Hi ! Iwent out to duqm Yesterday . Its a 5 hour drive from rusayl via sinaab . We had to stop the car for a lot of camels . There are shell pumps on the way at regular intervals . The best part about the route we took was that there were no radars so it was a free way . There were many toyota pickups loaded with people and day to day things, on the road . They were heading to the interior deserts. Some of the drivers of the pickups were veiled women and i tell you " They can drive really fast and well " . About duqum there is a ship repair facility comin up
( daewoo engineering ) and the land filling for the airport is also going on . The rental scene in Duqm is now extremely hot with rent for a villa going up to a 1000
(come on its really out in the middle of nowhere) .
I would like to give a link to an article about al-duqm i found on the net .
