I was in Muscat in oman - now there's urban sprawl for you damn thing is 30 miles long with barely any identifiable centre - just strip malls - and apartment blocks - bit like parts of blanchardstown
public transport consists of minibuses and shared taxis - once you get the hang of them they're not bad and if you put on a scowl they don't even try to rip you off
all in all though I would have to say it was worse than dublin - although with rising oil and gas prices i forsee a maglev running from kuwait all the way to muscat!
