Hello Javagm and welcome on board Expat.com :cheers:

I invite you to drop an advert in the Activies&Leisure field of the Muscat classifieds so as to better spread the word to find out photography clubs out there.

Hi javagm,

Just to set the records straight, Barka is not a city, but rather a distant suburb of Muscat, (which is of course a city).

You'll be happy to note that Muscat has many very enthusiastic groups of amateur, semi-professional as well as professional photographers.

Most take it more as a hobby, while for many others photography is a serious full-time profession, occupation and passion.

There is an Photographic Society of Oman (for Omanis, obviously), but there are also many active groups like the Omani Photographic Club (which you can find by searching in facebook) and others.

Through one group you can extend your contacts to the many others available.

Happy clicking !

Hi javagm,

There is a very active facebook group known as 'FSO Muscat ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/FSOMuscat/  ). There are lots of experienced / amateur photographers (based in Oman) registered on that group whom you can connect with.

Post this query there and you will find someone to go on photowalks.

Peace
