Hi,

it is me again!

There is a chance that my hubby would get a job in Sohar.

What about schools? I understands that there are two international schools, what are they like? Do they provide good enough education?

thanks for all replies

O.K. Not being snide this time. Although it's a longish drive (one &half hours to two hours drive) you're likely to be based in Muscat, where schooling is better, and there is a bit more to do, although 'doing' Muscat is not time consuming. If your husband gets the job though, anywhere in Oman has to beat Sordid Arabia hands down. For a start, for the most part, Omanis are not as insular as Saudis, nor as arrogant and backwards.
Doesn't really answer your question, really, just my opinion on things, but if you want any other info. I might be able to help, so P.M me.

What does the other half do for a living Helena and why the backwaters? Yanbu and now Sohar. Latter a better option though I guess.

Good luck whatever

hmmmmm

there is an International school in Sohar, and it has a good reputation, but there aren't many expats that live in Sohar. a lot live in Muscat, and poor husband has to do the 90-120 min each way commute each day, or.... drive up Saturday morning, stay somewhere grotty and drive back Wed afternoon.

Schooling is Muscat is tough as some year groups are VERY oversubscribed, others less so.
