Muscat: Four Asian women are facing trial in Oman on charges of possessing and using amphetamine pills.
They were caught when anti-drug squads raided their hotel room in Sohar.
An official source from the Royal Police of Oman said that the women had arrived in the country as tourists.
A few days ago, the police arrested another group of female tourists of the same nationality, in connection with human trafficking, prostitution and drug dealing.
Meanwhile, customs authorities have announced a new set of terms and conditions on issuing tourist visas to women visitors of certain nationalities.
