Is OMR 3500 a fair salary that will allow me to support my small family in Oman?

Hi, It's a very decent amount, Rent agreement thing is attached with most flats. You've to sign a Rent agreement for one year. They would cost around 500-1000 in Al Khuwair area. you may also get separate rooms easily, with probably no rent agreement at all, but this option is best for individuals. Owning a flat is pretty hard here, and they won't cost you much,but rent agreement is the only problem.

Hi I'd consider that a very decent salary. Yes, the accommodation cost is high and you may usually find a decent place around Ruwi or Wadi Kabir area for about 600 OMR which should suffice for your small family. Usually, the employers deals with such matters in Oman. Car expenses are nil in comparison to what we have in UK.

Hi Chadi,

Will you be receiving OMR 3500 on top of your accommodation and transport allowance?

OMR 3500 per month is a decent salary but do remember that the cost of accommodation is high in Oman. You will spend around OMR 2,000 on a 2 bedroom apartment. Furthermore, remember that in Oman landlords ask for a years rent up front, so you might need to discuss having this covered by your employer. 

Much of an expats cost of living will depend on their personal tastes and lifestyle. You can use the Cost of Living in Oman page as a guide.
