Why is the number 13 unlucky for some, lucky for others
By: Times News Service
Muscat: Travel to some apartment complexes in Muscat, and you might find flat number 13 missing.
With the number 13 considered unlucky for many, property developers in some parts of the capital, especially those populated by large numbers of expats, have done away with it on the main doors of homes rented to them.
The reason for this, said a manager of such a residential complex in Bausher, is because expatriates do not want to invite the bad luck associated with this number, with many of them categorically refusing to move into this particular flat, despite it being a very good one in a nice neighbourhood.
