Digital Nomad Life in Muscat, Oman

"Expats in Muscat can join a variety of clubs and activities, such as sports clubs, book clubs, and language exchange groups. Expats can also meet people by attending events hosted by the British Embassy, the American Embassy, or other international organizations. Additionally, many expats find it helpful to join online forums and social media groups related to their interests, such as expat forums, or groups related to their hobbies. Finally, expats can also meet people by attending local events, such as concerts, festivals, and art exhibitions," said one expat who made the move to Muscat.

"If there is an American Women's Group (AWG), or other English-speaking group of women, join them, even if it doesn't sound like your thing. You will find a vast amount of knowledge, experience and advice, as well as new friends there. Although it sounds exclusive, our AWG has members from all over the world, including our host country, so you will make new contacts from a variety of locations. Also, if you have school-age children, immediately get involved in the school's parent volunteer or PTA program and volunteer for a committee...you will make friends faster, and that will be your saving grace on those days you feel homesick," explained one foreigner living in Muscat, Oman.
