Help! How do I find somewhere to live?!

Hi Eflteacher55,

Feel free to drop your own "looking for' advert in the appropriate section of the website.

Hi Eflteacher55,

For the budget which you have quoted, to get a fully-furnished flat might be a bit hard to find. Most apartments come bare with just the walls around and a roof on the top; sometimes with built-in wardrobes and cupboards. Many newly built apartments also come with a semi, or fully-fitted kitchen, but not all though.

Depending on where your work location is going to be, take a tour of the neighbourhood and look around for newer properties close by. That would perhaps be the best way to locate a suitable place of residence.

The best way is to drive around muscat and look for hoardings. You will get a lot of hoardings and advertisement regarding available properties. This will give you a "live" idea of the locality and the building. Most buildings have caretakers and you can visit the building at the same time.
