Muscat Oman, how we should build our cities

[Abaq]

They want to larp as arabs and copy their shit style.

The architecture of old Xamar, Baraawe etc was Islamic architecture.

*Arabian architecture. Nothing to do with the deen.

More like Persian architecture. Arabs like the Omanis; got most of their culture from them.

No shame in building on someone else's style as long as we avoid building subpar versions of it like China does.

Muscat is nice. But salalah is a lot more beautiful and the mountains and coast is about the same as Sanaag.

This shouldnt be the goal for every city tho, I wish for the major port cities and the capital to be massive metro areas with high rises and what not. As it stands its impossible since there are no zoning ordinances or regulations among other major issues.
