Is this salary good for a couple with a toddler in Muscat??

Hi Guys! Looking for some guidance. My husband is in talks with a school in Muscat regarding a teaching position. They're offering $30,000usd a year (works out about OMR962 a month I believe.) Furnished accommodation is provided, health insirance for my husband (they've yet to specify if me and baby are included in that) and 75% of child tuition fees (my baby is 14 months so not school age, but I don't know if this offer includes nursery/daycare for him.)

We're also planning to have another baby in the next year or two so really want to ensure we're financially ok.

Is this salary decent/good for our situation? Our goal is to be able to save some of it each month and live comfortably. We're in no way extravagant spenders or drinkers :)

Also, what's standard in a contract? Should we expect end of contract bonus/flights etc as standard? Is it worth negotiating dependents health insurance? Or anything else we should reasonably expect/ask about?

Thanks so much for any help!
