      Oman is generally considered a family-friendly destination for expats, offering a safe environment and a range of educational options for children. The presence of numerous international schools is one of the key factors that make it attractive for expat families.

    We live in Oman and have done so for over 5 years. We have Permanent Residency via investment. I have a couple of businesses here and clients from all over the world. It's safe 24/7, the cost of living is superb. We live at the beach with great restaurants, a marina, golf course, swimming pools etc. And the sun shines every day. Oman is a very special place, a well kept secret.....

      ​@@sanderrecommendsMost choose either MSQ, Qurm or ITC complexes such as Dolphin Village or Al Mouj. Commute times to work and school locations are key drivers of choice for many as the peak traffic conditions can be somewhat challenging!

    Regarding medical care in Oman, it is true that there is a weakness and shortage in the government and private medical staff, but I must also say that the emergency centers in government hospitals are excellent and their performance is excellent in emergency cases. Also, the new cancer center, their care for patients is excellent. Personally, I prefer to do periodic checkups every year in Thailand, tourism with medical treatment. Thailand is definitely the best, although prices have tripled over the past ten years.

    15:00 min mark: Americans can open a company in Oman in a day, without a local partner. You need to have capital to open the business. You can export and import from the U.S. duty-free. 16:42 min mark: Oman's Future Fund targets investments likely to generate 12% returns.

    "Where else can you go in the GCC and it's like 15 degrees colder"?
    Saudi Arabia - one of the most beautiful, most wonderful and most breathtaking countries in the world. The Kingdom has cold places all year round - there is the delightful, tidy city of Taif, and there is Al Baha close by. And down south, there are: Aseer, Abha, Al Namas, Turaif etc. All these are cool and extraordinarily stunning. Not to forget, up north, there is Tabouk and areas around it that are cool, all year round, too.
    As for Oman: what a country it is - dazzling, spectacular and with such traditional, kind, very welcoming people... 🇴🇲 🇸🇦 ♥

      Expats can live anywhere anyone else can live. They can only BUY a property at this time in ITCs such as Al Mouj, Muscat Hills, Jebel Sifa, Barr AlJissah (Shangrila), etc (can't remember the names of others) and a few more being developed right now. Most of the ITCs are gated communities, FYI.
