Did you make it to Muscat? I work at ABA "An IB World School", and can say that living here is quite good. Drop me a line if you are in town, and maybe we can meet up.

I am thinking of moving to Oman some point in the next 12 months, Can any one give me some info on the standard of living and etc:

average salary in the hotel sales sector( was offered around RO 650 monthly)- how does this compare?

accomodation: the company advised that RO 100 a month is sufficient to rent a one bed apartment in decent area. Is this so?

night life?

getting around muscat: i just passed my driving test, and again they will contribute RO 40 towards the car upkeep a month.is it safe to drive? is the allowance enough?

how much a small second hand decent car will cost?

Mobile Phones: are they expensive to run, what is the average monthly contract ?

Also: I am a single woman, am I going to fit it?

Many thanks for your help in advance, Fast response is appreciated as need to make a decision!

I am an Indian, a senior Civil Engineer. Discussions are going on for a job of Resident Engineer for a construction project (I'll be the seniormost member of the team) in or around Muscat. Company will provide free accomodation, transport, and medical facilities. I shall stay alone, but at times my wife will visit.

How much salary in O. R. may I expect at the minimum (please remember i am an Indian, not an American), which should allow me stay decently and make good savings. If the company talks about "cost to the Company" (CTC), then I also need to know the costs of accomodation, car rental, food and other normal expenses.

Please advise here or in my e-mail ID: saumitraray@yahoo.com.
