When questioned by citizens about Omanising the profession and whether only Oman residents should qualify to become tour guides, the ministry said, “Good day, expats in Oman are allowed to apply for a tour guide license for global languages only. However, becoming a tour guide in the English language has been 100% Omanised.”
“In time, other languages will be Omanised in turn,” the ministry added.
Also, the ministry decalred in a statement that at present, Omanis can be tour guides when they turn 18 years old, while expats have to be at least 25 years old to qualify.
