You almost spend half of your salary monthly. It depends on your family size and other expenses like car expenses

200 Rials are not enough to rent a house in Muscat ( the capital)
real estate is very costly here

@Prashantbhagat

There are a number of threads (posts) out-lining the cost of living in Muscat, have a little look and im sure you will find the answers you're looking for.

From my current research, you could find a shared accommodation in Seeb area of Muscat for around the 200RO mark, and I know that some people even advertise for actual room shares.

This website might be a good starting point: http://oman.dubizzle.com/en/home/

All the best.
