The Sultanate Of Oman is not so talked about when it comes to some of its flamboyant neighbours in the Gulf region. This is despite the fact that the Sultanate has everything people usually crave: immense job potential, negligible crime rate, serene and marvellous locations to have a blast etc. There is a perception that Oman is too conservative and it lacks world-class facilities in comparison to some of the vibrant places across the world. This write-up is an attempt to break such myths and highlight why Oman happens to be one of the perfect places in the world to work and settle down.
Humongous Job Opportunities
Oman has plenty of job opportunities to take the career graphs of varied professionals upward. It’s a known fact that oil plays a major part in boosting the economy of the Gulf country so there is immense scope to get employed in the oil companies of the country. Then there is the natural gas sector, where as well people can find a lot of jobs. To enhance the scope of employment further, the country in its bid to diversify its economy has invested adequate funds in other sectors such as tourism, hospitality, healthcare etc.
Low Cost Of Living
Unlike some of the fancied places where everything from housing to education, is on the higher side, in Oman, the scenario is very different. Take accommodation, for example, any expat can easily get premium villas or budget flats, depending upon the requirements, on rent at a frugal rate compared to some of the richest countries in the Gulf region. Even the expenses towards your ward’s education are also very much in the realm of affordability. This ensures that the expats save enough money to send it back to their families based in their home countries.
One Of The Most Secured Place To Reside
The GCC country happens to be a peaceful place for people to stay. As per Numbeo’s, the world’s largest internet database, Crime Index by 2020 mid-year, Oman happens to be the 5th on the list of safest countries across the globe. This means the population over there can live without fearing anybody or fretting about any risk. Also, the people in Oman are very polite, well-mannered, welcoming and extremely friendly as well. Hence, visitors will never feel isolated or left out in Omani society.
Ideal Place To Holiday
In case you are in Oman and want to spend a nice time with your family during vacations then you don’t have to think twice about going elsewhere. Oman happens to be one of the best holiday destinations across the globe with several turquoise oceans, rugged mountains and tranquil beaches etc. If you intend to indulge in some adventure sports then the country offers enough options for scuba diving, snorkelling and camping among other things. So, you don’t have to go too far to let your hair down after some harsh working hours in the country.
Open-minded & Liberal
Dissimilar to some of the quasi- and ultra-conservative Arab countries, the Sultanate of Oman is very liberal and progressive. However, one needs to respect the local Omani culture, values and tradition and should not try to demean these things in any manner. Most importantly, the country places no undue restrictions on alcohol consumption or any kind of entertainment activities. People are free to move around wherever they feel like without disturbing the peace of the surroundings they are in.
