40 things I love about Oman #16 The Gold Doors
How is this for a Bank!? We would pass this everyday on our way to school. This is the Oman International Bank. Not only is it an amazing building from a distance, but if you ever get the chance to see it up close, this is what you will see!
Not all Omani Banks are this lavish. This is the headquarters of the bank, so a unique place.
The doors to the bank are famous due to the fact that they are Gold Plated!
It is said that they are polished each day.
Oman takes pride in keeping its roads, cars and even road signs clean, so it's not surprising that these doors are required to shine too.
The bank is gated and I am not sure if non-Omanis can enter-but it's great to see, especially when the sun shines on it.
