DUBAI: Expats working as tour guides in Oman have been told they can continue for now, as long as they are using languages other than English and Arabic, national daily Times of Oman reported.
The Oman Ministry of Tourism said that expats in Oman could continue to apply for a tour guide license for global languages.
But the ministry spokesman said the English language guided tours were now 100 percent Omanized and that other languages would follow.
Oman has placed a visa ban on a number of industries and professions in the country as it works to slash the level of unemployment among its local population.
