Hi,

What would be a good salary for an expat teacher
in a primary or secondary international school ?

What else should the package include ?

I hear Muscat is much more expensive these days.
True or false ?

Hi SaharaDesert

I'm not sure about international or secondary schools as I've never worked in them. However, if you're single in Muscat, I'd say don't settle for anything less than a base salary of 1000 OMR. This means that flights, accommodation, medical, transport allowance, etc must be provided on top of that amount.

Hope this helps. Smile

Does this mean housing should be furnished and have air conditioning already installed as well ?

Essential questions! Yes! Yes! Yes! (My accommodation in Oman, as well as friends' and colleagues' accommodation, always came with furniture and A/C. Some employers provide a list along with the contract stating what will be provided. Request one if they don't volunteer one.)
