Hi everybody

my husband has accepted a great job in Muscat and we will come to Oman by the end of April.

we have a then 1 year old girl and i'd like to know what things I should bring from Europe? we will have our stuff shipped so suggestions for bigger items are also great

We live a very organic lifestyle, and like to continue this. this means organic food, happy meat and soaps and detergents that o with this lifestyle. Will it be possible to buy these things in man/Muscat?
can we for example buy organic diapers?

Another question: what about furniture, toy's, nice clothes made of good materials that help to protect from the sun,
suncreams?

Does anyone use a bike or am I crazy asking this?

thanks a lot

Hi, no need to think too much, almost everything available in muscat, big modern city, you will enjoy, nice beaches, mountain, only hot season from June-October but you still can go cold places in Oman during this period,

sun cream what ever of beauty, cream protection available in many stores, you can ride a bike/motor bike/camel/horse/drive a car in Oman.
