What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Oman?
We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Oman is like. They answered...
"Detached villa - this is typical. We have lots of space, marble floors. We like our landlord. But, we have an old-fashioned kitchen. The landlord won't refurbish it because he doesn't understand the British tradition for using the kitchen as the hub of family life. In Omani culture, the kitchen is for servants and the family would never set foot in it. So it's dark, with a small window, 70's tiling, grimy grout and an old wallbanger AC," said another expat in Muscat, Oman.
"Expat homes and apartments in Oman tend to be modern and luxurious, with many featuring high-end amenities such as swimming pools, gyms, and private gardens. Expats can also expect to find spacious living areas, fully-equipped kitchens, and comfortable bedrooms. Many expat homes and apartments also come with access to a variety of services, such as housekeeping, laundry, and security," wrote a member who made the move to Oman.
