Moving to Muscat

23 years ago
Hi,
I am a 31 year old single female and was wondering if anyone could give me any advise with regards to my possible upcoming move to Oman. I grew up in the UAE and have lived and worked there as well as Lebanon and Syria so I am quite familiar with this part of the world and its culture however I've never been to Muscat. I don't feel any need to live in a big metropolitan city. However after living in Damascus, I don't think I could handle another really sleepy place either. From what I've seen and read, Muscat is fairly quiet but it does have some mod-cons like cinemas, shopping centers etc...
If there's a decent sized expat community which is not too difficult to break into and one can spend one's evening dining out with friends in nice restaurants or going to a bar or catching a movie and if I can spend my weekend days reading on the beach then I'm quite happy.
So can anyone tell me if I have the right idea re life in Muscat???
Also, can anyone give me an idea of what a decent salary would be in order to live as above and still be able to save a bit?
Much appreciated.
