Another Year in Oman: Between Iraq and a Hard Place

Another Year in Oman: Between Iraq and a Hard Place | Matthew Heines

The second book in the American Experiences in Arabia During the War On Terror series, puts you right back where My Year in Oman left off.

Another Year in Oman

What do you do when you’re the only American teaching in a small Omani town. And it looks like your country is about to invade nearby Iraq?

Another Year in Oman: Between Iraq and a Hard Place picks up right where My Year in Oman left off. 

Still teaching in the remote coastal town of Sur, Matthew now has no Muscat girlfriend, the freedom to travel, and a growing restlessness.

The author explores the UAE, camps on the Strait of Hormuz just miles from Iran, and dives deeper into Omani life. 

But as war tensions rise, suspicion falls on the lone American. Especially when he finds himself drawn into a secret, forbidden romance with an Arab woman.

Not a typical travel book. 

It’s a raw, personal look at expat life in Arabia during the War on Terror. It’s a clash between modern dreams and tradition, and love that defies every boundary.

If you’ve ever wanted to ride a camel, kiss a beautiful Italian under the stars in Dubai, or understand the Middle East beyond the headlines, this is your ticket. 

Experience Oman

No passport required — just a sense of adventure and a little courage.

Experience a brief flash of romance and history that has never happened before and will never happen again.
