Hi all, I am moving to Oman in August and have a housing allowance from my employer, however, I have to find my own accommodation. I am looking to get something in the Al Hail/Seeb region for roughly 300OMR a month. Ideally, it also needs to be furnished as well as I don't have much furniture to bring with me. Can anyone help me with how to find accommodation before I move over to Oman with this in mind? Or recommend an area to look at? Thank-you for any and all who offer information.

Hi there akaets, it would be best to try find accommodation in Oman thorugh a rental agent - although your company is not going to help you find accommodation, perhaps they can recommend a reputable agency why may be able to point you in the right direction.

Furnished accommodation is a bit more difficult to find compared to unfurnished. There are a range of options from stand aline houses to apartments, so it all depends on what you're looking for and whether you're moving there alone or with a family as you'll need to consider proximity to your kids school and also to your office. for some more general info, have a look at Accommodation in Oman.
