What should I pack when moving to Muscat?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Muscat to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Muscat, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Pack light, breathable clothing that will keep you cool in the hot, dry climate. Bring a hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun. Bring comfortable shoes for walking and exploring the city. Pack a few items of traditional clothing to show respect for the local culture. Bring any necessary medications and toiletries. Don't forget to bring a few items to make your new home feel like home, such as pictures, books, and other personal items," remarked another expat who made the move to Muscat, Oman.

"Three things I would have bought are culture, respect and nature. Three things I would have left are infrastructure development, events and happenings and traffic accidents," explained one expat living in Muscat, Oman.
