Tips and Advice on Oman from Your Fellow South African Expats
Obviously, expat life in Oman goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. Socializing with fellow South Africans is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Omani mentality and way of life. South Africans in Oman are a part of our community, calling cities such as Sohar, Haima, Muscat, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow South Africans in Muscat, for example.
Wondering where to shop for South African delicatessen, want to discuss your national team's latest match, or simply talk to someone in your native language? Become a member of the Omani InterNations Community!

I will never forget the great support provided the InterNations Ambassador in Muscat when I came to Oman as an expat woman on my own.
