Living cost in Oman

Hi Mannav,

As for the cost of living it varies by city, i.e Muscat, Sohar

Cost of Living In Sohar only
Based on my actual knowledge during my temp. stay at Sohar. I'll be moving to Sohar in couple of mth, may be I could advise the real figure later.

a)Accommodation
  Min OMR 50 (Single room) - Max OMR 790 (Luxury Villa)

b) Transportation (depends on the individual)
   b.1 Taxi/cab - Don't have the figure, but it is cheap
   b.2 Public Transportation (Bus)- Don't have the figure, but
       it is cheap
   b.3 Lease car Min OMR 50 - Max ??? (depends on the individual)
   b.4 Buy a car Min OMR 4000 - Max ??? and all the dealer
       provide expat buy back programme

c) Food
   c.1 1 pax ( Min OMR 50 - Max OMR 150)- i.e Fast food and
       local food will be more cheaper
   c.2 More than 1 pax kindly multiple c.1. Better to cook at
       home and plan dining once a week - much more practical

d) Groceries
      Min OMR 50 - Max ??? (depends on the individual)

Many regards
Sharu

i am hyderabadi , i would like to know , is there any worth going  to oman for such offer

Hello fred974,

maybe you should elaborate more concerning your info.

Hi Sandy ,

Sorry for the late reply.

As for cost of living in Salalah it might be more or less with Sohar ( approx 10%-15% cheaper than Sohar)

Due to the fact the accomodation will be FOC, you could buy a normal living cost.

But kindly ensure your safety all the time, as Salalah is quite near to Oman - Yemen border.
(A friend of mine used to works in all 3 cities in Oman Salaah-Muscat-Sohar and he gave a negative feedback on Salalah city interms of safety)

Interms of living cost, I will agreed with fred974 statment as the cost have went up approx 25% within the this 5 years (2007 - 2012)

Many regards
Sharu
