Oman is a beautiful country located on the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. Known for its stunning landscapes, Oman features both rugged mountains and vast deserts, as well as a long coastline along the Arabian Sea. The capital city, Muscat, is famous for its charming architecture, including the grand Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque and the colorful Mutrah Souq, where visitors can shop for traditional crafts and spices.

How we calculate these numbers

When local data is missing (e.g. salary for a smaller city), we estimate from peer cities in the same country using a median ratio.
