Can anyone please answer me the living cost of Oman?

Question

Im working in dubai, now i've and im getting 5,000/- uae dirhams, now i've got an offer letter with higher salary, and good package for Oman (muscat), can any one tell me in detail, what is the living cost, like food, accomodatin single/family please... thanks a lot.

Answer 1

The cost is lamost like Sharjah.

Answer 2

The main problem today in  Muscat is availability of flats even if you are willing to pay a higher rent. One of my friends has just moved in there and he is paying RO 400 for a 2 bedroom apt at Darsait which is predominant indian locality.

Single rooms are available for around RO 120-150. The other cost of living would be similar to that of UAE.

Answer 3

Received from a friend who is living in Oman (Indian)

Housing : 1BHK RO150/200. 2 BHK 225/300 3 BHK 325/450 Villa 700-2000

Education: Indian Schools RO50 Fee Per Child+Shool Bus.

Car Cost: RO 5000/8000, So if you take a 4 year car loan you pay approx 150RO / month

Electricity, Water, Local Phone 30 RO Each (Approx).

International Calls Depends on You

Grocery / Household RO125 Approx Foa a Family of 2 Plus 2 Kids

Film Cost - RO1.5 Per Head

DVD Hire RO15 For 25 Movies

Satellite TV RO24 Per Month

For A Bachelor in Veg Restaurent a meal costs RO20 Per Month.

A Descent Dinner out Thali will cost RO2 While a multi course Indian Meal for Family (4) may cost RO25.

Hope This will help you if you are an Indian...
