Hello,

I will be moving to Muscat by end Feb 2011.

I would like to know if the expat community in Muscat is big and if the atmosphere there is good, are there any expat gatherings...?

Thanks

hello, Muscat is big but not that big - the expat community soon know who is in town. It a very beautiful country and the omanis are friendly - slightly too friendly if you are female!! nightlife is good and the diving is second to none - i have yet to even snorkel and not see a turtle. there are loads of clubs and parties if that is your thing. quite a few bands to see. as with all places it is what you make of it - the summer is a killer though - over 50 but you just jump from shade to shade and ac to ac - good time to go to the movies as the ac in there is dam freezing - ice rink good too tee hee

rent prices are tumbling - my flat has two bedrooms, three bathroom, livingroom and diningroom and kitchen - really nice place and it is 500 a month but that is cos they are getting paid by my work - should be much cheaper if you rent on your own - i live in a really nice area too
