No serious threats have been made, but we have been advised that there will be extra security during the next two weeks. Entering Dukhan on the main gate is a machine gun on the back of a ute aswell as another one in front of the QP Head Office main entrance.
I know of three friends who have been stopped and asked to show their ID.
If you had your residency permit on you or your ID card and showed that I am sure you would have had no problems. ... inshallah.
Umm Baab is not far from Dukhan, which is a main oil/gas town so around this whole area is increased security at the moment.
