Cost of living in Oman in 2024

Hi,

The living cost in Oman for an average of two adults and one kid will be:

1. Flat rent from 150 to 200 OMR (Depends on locations)

2. Grocery shopping 110 to 150 (Including everything)

3. Kid's school fees 51 OMR (Indian Schools)

4. Car Rentals from 170 to 250 OMR (As per car model)

5. Electricity and water 40 OMR, 30 for WIFI (Mostly free in rental flats)

6.60 to 100 Riyal petrol expenses, depending on your travel distance.

7. Other expenses for entertainment are 50 to 100 OMR, up to your choice.

8. Household furniture and kitchen items will cost around 400 to 1000 OMR, including everything (As per your taste.)

I hope this will help calculate the average living cost, you may try OLX to do some research about property rentals in your preferred area and car prices as well.

I can share my personal expense (per month):

1. Rent: 200 OMR (Al-Khuwair- one bedroom flat with furnished Kitchen and 2 washrooms and main lounge)
2. Grocery: 60 OMR (I cook three meals a day (non-veg) and hardly eat out due to health concerns)
3. Fuel: 50 OMR (Home to work (Bausher) and back plus weekend hanging out in the city)
4. Electricity and water: 50 OMR (AC is turned on for about 8 hours everyday plus showering twice a day plus daily dishwashing)
5. Entertainment: Cinema, infrequent eating out, shisha etc would count to approximately 30 OMR.
6. Furnishing: I mostly buy when deals are around. 50 OMR max.
