What is life like as an expat in your area?

When we asked people living abroad what life is like in their areas and how people spend their time, they said...

"The Omani citizens appear to be very family oriented, with God (Allah) playing a major role in their lives. Although Islam is the main religion, there are other houses of worship in this country, including Protestant, Catholic, Hindi and others. We are asked to respect the Muslim holidays. However, we are not expected to fast during Ramadan, just to be respectful of their culture and eat in private, etc. The country has moved into the modern age, with cell phones, email and other modern technology and services," remarked another expat who made the move to Muscat, Oman.

"Life for expats and digital nomads in Muscat is generally quite pleasant. The city is modern and well-developed, with plenty of amenities and services to make life comfortable. The cost of living is relatively low, and the climate is warm and sunny year-round. The people are friendly and welcoming, and the culture is diverse and interesting. There are plenty of activities to enjoy, from exploring the city's many historical sites to taking part in outdoor activities like hiking and camping. With its excellent infrastructure and strong internet connectivity, Muscat is an ideal destination for digital nomads looking to work remotely," explained one expat living in Muscat, Oman.
