2000 omani rials is a damn good salary and you can save a lot of money each month. Housing will cost you around 300 RO per month in Muscat for a 2 bed-roomed apartment. Transportation should cost you around 30 RO and food articles will not cost you must. The entire budgeted expenses with a family of two children should not cost you more than 600 to 700 RO if you choose to live lavishly. So you may safely save around 1300 to 1400 Omani rials which is quite massive.
