What should I pack when moving to Oman?
We asked people living in Oman to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Oman, 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 you from the sun. Bring comfortable shoes for walking and exploring. Bring a few items of traditional clothing to show respect for the culture. Bring any necessary medications and toiletries. Pack a few books or magazines to keep you entertained. Bring a few items to remind you of home. Finally, make sure to bring your passport and other important documents," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to 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," commented one expat who made the move to Muscat, Oman.
