It is slower paced with less mass tourist infrastructure, and there certainly aren't 20 things to do before lunch.

I can't remember many other places where I've had a laugh with an immigration officer (about my comedy attempts at Arabic

Oman can be intoxicating - the pace is slow, the historical architecture is lovely, and the weather in February would be lovely!
I think there would be plenty to do for four days, no question. For what it's worth, I found Dubai even less appealing than Vegas.
