How salaries in Oman compare
Oman out-earns a good share of the world but sits in the middle of the Middle East, behind the wealthier Gulf states. Its standing comes from the same source as theirs — what it draws from the ground — just on a more modest scale, which is part of why the pace and the pay both feel a notch calmer here.
