The Times of Oman has out since the day after Gonu had hit Muscat. I am guessing that it's got something to do with their power failure or probably water.

Give it some time to come back and it will.

Times of Oman started publication yesterday, though their website www.timesofoman.com is not operational.

The paper's e-version, www.etimesofoman.com is working. Visit that instead.
