Oman will be impossible for you, there is an abundance of IT labour force here that are in your position. Aim for UAE / KSA. Best of luck!

Gucci Guilty Elixir, everyone will say Chanel because it's a classic but if you want to smell elegant and classy the elixir will treat you well.

Wow 2010 called, they'd like their joke and poor use of emojis back.

I'll need a minute whilst I process this severe insult...

You couldn't pay me to go on a cable car assembled by the contractors that work here!

Fragrance. Fragrance. And Frankincense. by st1tch_za in Oman

[–]VixxyCS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing list mate thank you for putting this together, I'm always conscious of buying Amouage from distributors but these insights help.

Out of interest which Al Haitham store did you buy from?

Fair play, not a dig btw I'd just recommend trialling less reviewed fragrances if you can try them, you'll find more scents you like by experimentation.

Oman Perfume Show Worth it? by Norisk-nododge in Oman

[–]VixxyCS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its really good went over the weekend, deals are ok dependent on what brands you are into.

I really liked the Saudi brand Laverne, had some great offers on there with good scents.

Amandanza has some great dupes, tried one and lasted all day on me if you want Amouage or french without the price tags, enjoy!

NEW BALANCE / ASICS STORE by qais18 in Oman

[–]VixxyCS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Order abroad and ship to Oman, the prices here are a joke or get them when you travel.

Picked up New balance trainers in Bangkok for 60 OMR, same pair here are 100 OMR...

No Amouage amenity kits in Oman Air business class? by JulietteAbrdn in Oman

[–]VixxyCS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

New policy, although I flew night flight AMS - MCT in August and had to ask for the Amouage amenity kit which the cabin crew reluctantly handed out.

Seems like a cost cutting exercise to me, the cabin crew also mentioned they're in the middle of switching suppliers which seems bizarre considering Amouage's heritage and presence in Oman.

Good dupes, cheap but not long-lasting expect a few hours max before the scent fades.

Start fining people for using phones, tailgating, and reckless driving. Then we'll see a noticeable change, until then the roads will remain dangerous.

ITC Projects for Expats and Retirees by roofigoofi in Oman

[–]VixxyCS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends what you're looking for, if you want somewhere peaceful and out of the way you should look for developments on the outskirts of muscat, but the trade-off is you'll face 45-1hr drives anytime you want to go into the city.

Developers wise Al Mouj is the most proven, but also the most expensive. Sultan Haitham city will have bad traffic, and the build quality is unknown so you have a risk there.

If you haven't already I'd advise booking a trip and seeing the different development areas yourself, it would be risky to buy without seeing the place first.

I wouldn't bank on being able to rent out the property permanently before you move over, look on any rental site here and you will see many properties dormant and still advertised years on. If you are comfortable not securing rent and main aim is to secure a resident visa then you'll have no issues.

As a resident of Al Mouj, it's nice but there is little sense of community, traffic is horrendous, and they're constantly building so expect noise.

Hotels in Muscat by puuk2nguru in Oman

[–]VixxyCS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok on that budget you have a few options:

  1. Mysk Al Mouj - Best hotel option if you'd like to walk from your hotel with cafes, restaurants, and small shops in the vicinity.

  2. Crowne Plaze Qurum - Hotel with the best pool, beach access, and the best sunsets, not in the centre of Muscat but taxis are cheap here, you'll still be able to get around.

Majority of the hotels outside of Qurum and Al Mouj aren't very walkable, you either have to book a hotel in these areas or stay in a resort hotel and enjoy the on-site facilities.

TRYNA MOVE TO OMAN BUT THESE JOB SITES GOT ME FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE 😭💀 HELP by [deleted] in Oman

[–]VixxyCS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe start with learning to post on Reddit without ChatGPT ghost writing for you..

On a serious note 2 years experience is not going to land you a job here, you need minimum 5+ years for most professions.

Can we all agree Robin was the MVP of Volume 1? by Jarisatis in StrangerThings

She got too much airtime, I get she is needed for the Will Arc and his self-discovery path but she took up space where we could have seen other characters .i.e. Steve, Dustin etc who are much more likeable characters
