Perhaps you folks might want to see what is happening around Salalah?? You can Google for the latest images (3 months ago) but this is an awsome project.

Not all is happening "up North"!!!!

Shoot. I'm too late to save you the trouble of going to ACT. Too bad.
Oh well. Others will read this and avoid it.
Better for teachers go to Ibra or Nizwa. Al Musannah is a career breaker in Oman. It's not worth it.
PM me for more details on ACT. |

| Thanks for this. What about transportation? To be honest, my recruiter hasn't given me much information. Pretty soon I think I'll get a motorcycle, but until then, is there any transportation in that area? Cabs? How much are they (or is it)? |
With all these great information, your location should be in Oman not Saudi Arabia |

Coiffe,
I, too, am surprised that you haven't had a reply on this.
So, for what it's worth, this is the best that I can offer.
Landlords sometimes demand as much as six months rent in advance, but there is no fixed rule on this. If you are lucky, the landlord might just want a month in advance.
In Musannah, the rent would be lower than in the Capital Area, and so you might be paying just under 200 Omani Rials a month, but obviously it depends on how big a place you are renting.
Musannah is centrally placed on the Batinah Coast, between Barka and Suwaiq. It is not in any way remote, being less than one hour from the CApital Area on a major highway. The college where you will be working is not, however, in Musannah itself. It is just off the roundabout at a junction calleed Muliddah, and Muliddah is on the road to Rustaq, so that gives you a bit more choice.
One problem. Musannah is the venue for the 2010 Asian Beach Games, and quite a lot on construction is going on there at the moment. This could have led to rent imnflation, but as I pointed out, you don't have to live in Musannah. You could try Muliddah, Hazm, Thirmid or Abu Abali - all perfectly pleasant villages with small shops and enough to keep you going during the working week. |

| Car is important epically in summer, yes taxi is there most of the time but you have to ride more than a taxi to arrive your work. |

| Or Cycling to work in style! Cycling to work in the searing Omani sun with an Aussie Outback hat is definitely a good workout in the summer months and throughout the year! Highly recommended for sports enthusiasts and a great way to experience the outdoors in Oman too! |
