The Sultanate of Oman is in the Middle East, on the southeastern end of the Arabian Peninsula.
The cost of living here depends on your lifestyle, and how much you are planning on spending/saving from your income.
You should keep in mind that the prices of housing and apartments will increase as you move towards the city. Food and transportation expenses are almost constant across the country but are also on the rise.
Prices are highest in Muscat, but although costs can be lower outside of the city, you’ll also find limited choices there.
Eating out can be costly, and if you want a drink, your only option will be expensive Western-style hotels.
If you’re on a budget, you can get breakfast for about 1.30$ max.
Assuming you’re okay with Indian food since this is what’s mostly served here in cafeterias – at certain places, you’ll be able to get lunch for about 5.20$.
There is a wide range of independent establishments in Oman where the food is excellent and reasonably priced.
MARKETS
When it comes to groceries, European ex-pats will probably find the cost of food and drink in Oman cheaper, while Americans may find it more expensive.
Be that as it may, if you’re willing to consume local products, you will save money.
Lulu is the best value supermarket, Al Fair is the most expensive – but also has the highest quality products – and Carrefour is mid-range.
Buying alcohol in Oman can be complicated and costly.
TRANSPORTATION
The cost of using a car in Oman is much cheaper than in Europe.
As a result, virtually everyone drives and few people use public transportation.
If you’re going to be in the city, there are buses that you may take too and they usually cost around 1.30$ per ride.
For those who want to make every penny count or to experience the local atmosphere, there are ‘baisa’ buses operating throughout Muscat.
This mode of transit is largely used by the lowest-paid workers.
UTILITIES (MONTHLY)
Utilities aren’t costly in Oman.
If you’re living in an apartment of about 85m2 all basic utilities will cost you around 94.26$.
Utilities, such as water, gas, and electricity, are generally excluded from the quoted rental price.
Video communication is restricted, however, VPN and WiFi at most places (including buses) will get you through the day.
SPORTS & LEISURE
Indulging in sports and fitness activities will cost you a bit more, as in most countries of the world.
If you want to become a member of a fitness club or a gym, it will cost you around 50$ a month.
Cinemas usually charge about 9$ for a ticket, but here, the price varies a bit depending on your seat and the movie you want to watch (whether it’s 3D or not).
CLOTHING & SHOES
It depends on what brands you’d want to shop from, and how much you’re looking to spend.
You should count on spending, on average, around 100$ on yourself per shopping spree.
For instance, you can buy quality jeans here for about 50$ while quality running sneakers of brands like Nike cost around 83$.
RENT PER MONTH
Accommodation prices are going down in Oman – like elsewhere in the Middle East.
There are a lot of new homes being built, and ex-pats will be able to find a place that fits their budget, mood, and style.
Accommodation is normally unfurnished.
An apartment in the city center will cost you around 560.69$ and one a bit further from the center will cost you about 400$.
How Does the Average Person Spend Their Money in Oman?
Food is definitely how an average person living in Oman spends most of their money – this is the case in most countries.
The next expense for the people of Oman is definitely rent – it is generally expensive in Oman but manageable.
Apart from rent and food, restaurants take up a lot of money from people’s budgets, as well as transportation.
You will find the cost of living in Oman more reasonable than that of many of the neighboring Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, and income is tax-free.
The average monthly salary for a person living in Oman is around 2,082.76$ which, taking into consideration the prices in Oman makes it possible for the people of Oman to earn and live comfortably.
The minimum wage in Oman is around 850$ which is also a lot higher than in many countries with similar prices.
Generally speaking, Oman is a country where you can live comfortably and not have to worry too much about tomorrow if you cover your expenses wisely.
If you’re planning on traveling to Oman and spending some time there, 2000$ would be enough for you to live in Oman completely carefree.
“Me? Oh—” Did the man hesitate, Sandy wondered. It seemed to be so before he continued. “I’m Everdail.” “You did just what I wanted,” he said. “Let’s get the airplane in. Then we can talk.” Both chums read the box he thrust under their eyes. Arizona had its full share of murder and sudden death. But New Mexico had more than that. Spring passed on there, with warmth for the snow-wrapped mountains, and blistering heat for the dead plains, and her way was marked with lifeless and mutilated forms. GEORGE III. "Yes," answered Shorty. "And I was out late last night." LOST IN A MAZE OF RAILROAD TRAINS. Shorty shoved the bill into his hand, and rushed down in front of Billings. "Well, I for one am goin' through, and I'm goin' to take Pete and Sandy with me," said Shorty, in a loud, confident tone, to brace up the others. "I've always gone through every one o' them things I've struck yit, and this ain't no worse'n the others. But we ought to jump 'em at once, while they're shiverin' over the shelling' we give 'em. They must be shakin' up there yit like a dog on a January mornin'. Why don't we start, I wonder?" "I ask you if you're afraid of me and I get the beginnings of a self-analysis," Dr. Haenlingen said. She walked three steps to the desk and sat down behind it, her hands clasped on the surface, her eyes staring at the younger woman. "If I'd let you go on I suppose you could have given me a yard and a half of assorted psychiatric jargon, complete with suggestions for a change in your pattern." "Now, wait a minute," Dodd said. Norma had been brain-washed into some silly set of slogans: it was his job to break them down. "The clan can elect leaders—" The second piece of land had thriven better than the first. The hops were sturdy and promising beside the brook, and on the higher grounds the new pastures fattened. Reuben had decided to dig up a couple of his old grass meadows and prepare them for grain-sowing in the autumn. The soil was good, and it was only his father's want of enterprise which had kept so much of Odiam as mere grazing land. As for the cows, there was ample provision for them on the new pastures, which Boarzell would continue to yield, even if it refused oats—"But I'll have oats there some day, I reckon," said Reuben, "oats, and barley, and maybe wheat." Richard flushed with pleasure. After all he was not acquitting himself so badly with this fine lady. They talked together for a few more minutes, the boy trying to clip his speech like hers. He noticed how much shorter and crisper it was than his—while he said "d?an't," she could say "don't" twice. Something almost like a sob shook Reuben. Then, ashamed of his weakness, he raised his head, and saw that behind Boarzell the night had lifted, and a cowslip paleness was creeping into the sky. The great dark hump of the Moor showed clearly against it with its tuft of firs. A faint thrill stole through Reuben's tired limbs. Boarzell was always there to be loved and fought for, even if he had no heart or arm but his own. Gradually hope stirred as the dawn crept among the clouds. The wind came rustling and whiffling to him over the heather, bringing him the rich damp smell of the earth he loved. Reuben shook his head. HoME完整一级A免费看片
