Hello Shiva,

PDO, and everything associated with it, is fantastic.

The school is great, the facilities are first class and the accommodation is excellent.

You could try the British School Muscat, American British Academy, Indian School, TAISM for other alternatives.

If you would like assistance / advise, please email me at - enquiries@alliedlogistics.co.om

Dear Shivu,

Most Indians reside in an area called Ruwi. However, expatriates are located all over the Muscat area.

With regards to temples, I am sure there are, but I don't actually know their location.

Good luck.
