I noticed that the housing market is bottoming out in Dubai as repprted in "The Times of Oman" this morning. It concerns me that the hold up on Oman's part is due inpart to this real problem. It all comes down to supply and demand.. Every year that this project has been stalled, has pushed us behind the eight ball, and will probably take a miracle to pull this off. It's very unsettling when a country is hot to trot for a viable project, and say that they have not been bothered by the global crisis, and balk at the opportunity. I hope Omagine is not being played.
