Living in Sohar

Hi
My husband and I live in Dawood complex which is just up the road from palm gardens. Although not as busy as Muscat, sohar is a nice place to live. When I was looking at palm gardens, I was informed that the rent was 850 riyals for FF.

Hi how much is the Dawood Complex for a ff?

For a 4 bedroom you are looking at 650 (unfurnished) and 3 bed furnished its about 550

Hi, thanks for the reply. How about a two?

They don't have 2 bedroom villas, you would then be in a flat and I have no idea how much they are sorry.

Well u can try Sohar Residence Complex which is same like palm gardens but about 15 km far from palm gardens towards sohar port.

Thanks for the reply.

Hi friends
Are luxury flats (2 BHK) available near Al Batinah International School/ Sohar Royal Hospital? How much do they cost?

Hi, I just received an salary offer to move to Sohar, It´s 1234.500 OR as basic salary plus 575.500 OR for fixed allowance per month.
I´ll be taking my family with me, so what I really need to know is if that ammount of money is good enough to live in Sohar, Oman with my familly.
Can anyone give me an idea on how much do I need to have a decent life in Sohar and be able to save money for the future? I'm needing real examples of the costs because I have friends that live in Muscat and comparing with that city they tell me that´s really low. I´m trying to set up a budget example on monthly expenses but it´s kind of difficult because most of the pages refer to Muscat.
I have two children and eventhough the company is giving a school benefit at the end I'll have to put down from my own salary around 300 OMR per child. We are not looking for a luxurious lifestyle, but at least We´d like have a confortable life and as mentioned before be able to save money. A family of 4 how much money needs to spend per month on grocery shopping? also most of the apartments or houses for rent come unfurnished, So We'd have to make a major expense just to furnished the place to live. I need to have the most real scenario in order to evaluate the real costs and if it's profitable to move so far.
Thank you very much to anyone who can help me out.

I've been living in Sohar for nearly 5mths.

Well, i may not list down all the expenses in detail as cost of living may very much varies from individual lifestyle. However, for a decent living, my monthly expenses including house & car rental, food, utilities and entertainment is around OMR900/mth.
