Living in Duqm
Oman · desert
Duqm is a small town of roughly 12,000 people right by the sea in Oman. The climate is desert. It sits well off the usual tourist trail and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $1,200. Healthcare is strong, and the internet is generally reliable. People come here for fishing, diving, quiet days.
La sanità privata (5/5) è nettamente migliore di quella pubblica (2/5): metti in conto un’assicurazione. I prezzi degli alloggi sono rimasti fermi negli ultimi cinque anni, cosa ormai rara. Non esiste imposta sul reddito delle persone fisiche.
