The International Schools Review Forum

Hi All
just trying to gather information so that I can make an informed decision. Wondering if anyone out there lives or has lived in Muscat. Looking to accept a position and move there this coming school year.
What is the social scene like for a single?
Any info on the major schools there- TAISM or ABA?
Cost of living? Ability to save?

Any comments, feedback most appreciated.

Me too. I posted earleir and no reply.

Hopefully someone can fill us both in!

If you would like to get in touch we can compare notes!

I have not lived or worked in Oman. My wife and I have been there several times on holiday, so maybe this is helpful.

Prices in Oman are a bit higher than in the UAE (where we are at the moment). There is a sales tax [u]and[/u] a tourist tax on some things, so you are hit twice. Salaries tend to be lower, I think, so it is not a place to go if you want to make loads of money. Friends of mine who have taught in Oman say that Omani students are absolutely delightful.
