Ghala Gentlemen's Club (Arabic: نادي غلا للرجال) is a private gentlemen's club located on the grounds of the Ghala Golf Course in Muscat, Oman. It was established in 2034 by the Ghala Gaming Corporation to offer high-end adult entertainment services to wealthy patrons who visited the area to play golf. Services are available daily from 9.30 am to 11.30 pm.
The club employs indentured Inmate Prostitutes leased from Bawshar Heights Women's Dormitory, a private custodial facility operated by Altar Group. As part of the partnership agreement between the companies, Altar is responsible for the custody, security, training and transportation of the Inmate Prostitutes.
The club's facilities include a large Main Lounge, a smaller private lounge, 4 private showrooms, a cigar lounge, and 24 well-appointed guest rooms. Each room contains a king-sized bed, a steam room and a modern spa shower. There are also secure facilities for holding, detention and transportation in the basement floor of the clubhouse building.
"One of the best things about Ghala Gentlemen's Club is that the girls come up to you to compete for your business. Spend just one hour in the lounge and you are almost guaranteed to have 4 or 5 girls trying to chat you up.
Experienced patrons know that patience is always rewarded. The best way to enjoy this club is to sit back and listen to them make their pitch to you. "

Ghala Gentlemen's Club offers a comprehensive 60-minute service package (starting at $1,600) which includes a hammam-style steam, scrub and shower, a sensual body-to-body massage, oral service, light rimming, classic full service and anal full service. All services are performed fully natural, and Attendants are not allowed to suggest the use of condoms. Although no tailor-made packages are available, Attendants are generally happy to accommodate personal requests whenever possible.
Management of Attendants
Compensation and Quota System
Ghala Gentlemen's Club operates a strict quota system. Each Attendant is required to be booked for a minimum of 6 hours per day. An overnight booking counts as 3 hours.
On days where an Attendant meets or exceeds this quota, she receives 4.5% of the total revenue she brings in for the day (called her "earnings"), with the remainder going to the club. However, if an Attendant fails to make quota, she receives no earnings at all for the day.
Attendants' earnings are all applied towards their outstanding debt balances, except for a small amount (starting at 9 cents per hour, capped at $0.54 per day) which is deposited into their personal amanat accounts, and may be used to make commissary purchases.
Attendants who fail to make quota face disciplinary action. This may include meal penalties, beatings, sleep deprivation, and loss of privileges. If an Attendant fails to make quota more than 10 times within a period of 30 days, she may be assessed to be unviable - which usually leads to termination and a transfer to another place of work.
According to the club's partnership agreement with Altar Group, there is a 60-40 revenue share structure in place, with Altar receiving 40% of all revenue generated by each Attendant.
Altar charges annual interest of 18% (capped at $75,000) on Attendants' outstanding balances. In addition, Bawshar Heights Women's Dormitory charges an annual custody fee of $28,000.
Effects on Culture
Competition and Solicitation
The quota system incentivizes Attendants to proactively compete with each other in order to solicit business from prospective clients in the main lounge area.
To endear themselves to prospective clients, Attendants can flirt, dance, or engage in intimate touch with them. It is also commonplace for Attendants to engage in mutual masturbation with clients; the club encourages this practice by placing bottles of Argan oil inside each booth for Attendants to use.
According to Rachel Mallory, a former Attendant at Ghala Gentlemen's Club:
"Every day was a flesh parade, and we were the ones who had to sell our own bodies. We had to tease, cajole, shake our butts, squeeze our own tits. At times, we had to beg the men to give us a chance. It was thoroughly humiliating - and this, more than anything, is what absolutely crushes your spirit."
The club does not permit any oral and classic/anal full service in public areas, and Attendants who engage in such activities to solicit clients are liable for disciplinary action. In addition, the club also strictly prohibits Attendants from making clients cum before they have booked a service package.
Formation of Stables
Additionally, the system also encourages Attendants to collaborate and form stables. In practice, whenever one Attendant is booked for full service, she typically seeks to convince the client to also book another member of her stable (for a duo session). In this way,
According to Natalie Grover, a former Attendant at Ghala Gentlemen's Club:
"It's almost impossible to get ahead in Ghala unless you are part of a stable. It's a small club, and the 'whales' already have their preferred girls. The only way to break in is to get recommended by one of the more experienced girls.
Of course, there are always new girls who are naive, and don't quite understand how things work. You can be sitting next to a client and stroking his cock for an hour, only to have him pick someone else. All of a sudden, you're panicking because you're not going to make quota for the day - which means you are going to get a meal penalty and probably also a beating."
