Hi Aderaz

Is your college taking care of your accomodation as well? If not, 600 might be a little too much to save (it will depend on how you plan to live here). Generally 1100 is considered a good salary in Muscat.

As I said 1100 is considered a good salary here on an average. More will depend on your age, experience, qualification, your standard of living and how big your family is. You should be looking at some of the threads on cost of living.

Thanks
Faisal
