Oman drives on the right side of the road. In-game, the Google camera car is on the right side β so oncoming traffic comes from the left. This is the norm for most of Europe, the Americas, and continental Asia.
Oman was the centre of the ancient frankincense trade β the resin was more valuable than gold and funded a civilisation that traded with Rome, India and China. The UNESCO-listed Aflaj irrigation system has kept Oman's oases alive for 3,000 years.
