Travel with Hussain

So here you are in Oman, your another stop for your very own travel diary, right? Well, of course it is your first time and you are not sure about certain things like where to buy or rent a car? Other than additional important considerations like what to eat and where to live, other questions that occur in a tourist’s mind are “How to go to all must-visit places and manage the time too?” Obviously, for this you need right form of transportation and do not want someone to misguide you for being a newbie in town.

To get the right type or best place to buy a car or rent a car you need to be wise in your searches. Are you aware of the fact that like every shopping has a particular season to consider there is also a specific time to keep into consideration when it comes to buying or renting a car in Oman? For that matter, Ramadan is considered to be the right season or time in middle-east to do such activities. Some car dealers are really pricey and they will try their best to ruin your entire budget. Watch out from them.

Among car dealers you will come across some locals as well as international companies in this business. People with knowledge always advice to perform searches in places like opensooq as they not only serve  a platform where experts join hands with those who need sincere guidelines but also keep in view the budget of visitor. Here you will find packages, each with different rates as per the services included. You can choose the right type of a car for your use. Price, mileage to cover, comfortable are all important considerations. With regards to comfortable it means that if you are a group of 6 then of course you will be needing a bigger car to roam the whole city.

For people visiting deserts and all, the car type will be different. At platforms such as opensooq, you do not have to worry much about car insurance or any other extra expenses. Just pay the rent, fill out some forms and get the keys to ride that smooth ride you have always dreamt of on the roads of Muscat or where ever you intend to go in Oman. Cost efficient cars to rent or buy are what your top most priority is. For Omani terrains and off roading, SUV is more suitable. You have choice of both buy and rent.

Like the choice of which car to prefer or from where i.e. the right platform, it is also important to have the right knowledge about renting or buying apartment in Oman. It is always better to go for apartments for sale or apartments for renting purposes in the busier areas of cities or towns. The reason is that they have more services and opportunities to offer. You will find more sport facilities, social events, education and healthcare in the main cities of Oman. All these points are important to consider while choosing to buy or rent an apartment. Even economically such areas are considered to be better and also you can find people of the same community or backgrounds, which help in bonding and adjusting to a new place real soon. For example, in an area where you know doctors are more and you yourself is a medical staff then choosing an apartment in that area will allow you to meet families of your type. This will help in getting along and provide many benefits to both the parties.

According to a recent legislation in the Omani states, the expatriates in Oman have been allowed to gain residency when they have purchased an apartment for sale in an ITC i.e. Integrated Tourism Complexes in Oman. This permission works parallel with Oman Vision 2020 where the states opts to have more revenue sources other than just oil production.

Searching apartments for rent or buy is not that difficult anymore nor hectic either. This is because of easy accessibility of internet. You can just use the search engine and go for the right platform where trust-worthy and reliable dealers are dealing with this work. Websites such as openSooq is the example of right platform. For your information, the apartments are subject to price over two main concerns-the number of rooms it has and where is the location.

To add into the knowledge of our reader, there are different famous neighborhoods in Oman that many families visiting the state prefer to live in. The important considerations such as water, electricity, the type of communities living in that particular area are all what people prefer. And when they check onto public reviews or ratings about such areas they go for availability of apartments for rent or buy whatever intention they have. If you are in Muscat then know there Al-Qurum is said to be the heart of the city and a source of major tourist attraction, that has got a lot of service facilities to help visitors with. Madinat al Sultan Qaboos which is named after Oman’s leader is considered to be one of the must-visit area. You will also find hotels around so if you have any change in plan then do not worry because Muscat is a land of facilities. The Waves in Muscat is a great choice too.
