Tips and Advice on Oman from Your Fellow Finnish Expats

Socializing with fellow Finns is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Omani mentality and way of life. Finns in Oman are a part of our community, calling cities such as Sohar, Haima, Muscat, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow Finns in Muscat, for example.

I will never forget the great support provided the InterNations Ambassador in Muscat when I came to Oman as an expat woman on my own.
