Dear Vijay,

Sohar is one of the growing cities in Oman with a flourishing port, new airport, and city developing fast. Industrial area is also in expansion stages. There is Indian School, Social Club and every other facilities like cinema, hospitals all as per standards.
Rents are comparatively lower than muscat and you can get comfortable living spaces in and around sohar city or near indian school...

You will find the city is rather spread out, and without a driving license little difficult to manage initially, and bringing your family is possible after you come here, after you stamp your visa, company will arrange visa for them on your visa. Should finish in one or two days or a week.
