congratulations of ur offer...answers to ur quest..

1. a 3 bedroom villa u will get for 250 to 350.. if u expect a good compounded facility the palm gardens enclave is good.. but it may be in range of 300-400. if u wish cheaper there are plenty of 2bhk villas or flats.(150-250) range.

2. Car is totally ur wish. if u are gonna rent they may cost 150-200 per month.. if u gonna buy u will have to find out here ur self or online.. try oman.yallamotor.com may b a good source.

3. sorry i have no info abt Schools. there are few international schools and hope anybody else can guide u..

4.i think u get monthly packages worth 25 rials for net wifi.. anyway it depends on ur use and it may b max 30 OMR.

5. if ur saudi license is valid i guess u can change it to Oman Driving Licence... not advisable to drive oman registered cars with ur saudi license. i think thats nt allowed.

Hope u have ur answers
