Hi All,
I plan to move to Muscat within the next couple months and was trying to estimate a monthly budget for myself and my family (wife and child less than 1 years old). I've posted my table below - I'd appreciate any thoughts on the numbers (whether they're too high or too low) and any suggestions on the unfilled cells in my table.
I'd plan to live in Azaibah or Qurum. Car rental would be a 4x4 SUV
