What do I need to know before moving to Salalah?

Answer this Question

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Salalah, they said...

"Salalah is a city in the Dhofar region of Oman, known for its lush greenery and tropical climate. Expats should be aware that the city is very conservative and traditional, and that they should respect local customs and dress modestly. English is not widely spoken, so it is important to learn some basic Arabic phrases. Expats should also be aware that the city is very hot and humid during the summer months, and that the monsoon season brings heavy rains. Finally, expats should be aware that the cost of living in Salalah is relatively low, making it an attractive destination for those looking to save money," remarked another expat in Salalah, Oman.
