The crew that have been here a while and have low-rent agreements from before the increases seem to be mainly in MSQ , Qurm and Al Khuwayr , which are near most schools and nearer to 'town' . However , getting home in the morning after a night-flight can be very slow as the highway gets busier and busier. The rest of us are in Al-Hail (North and South ) and Al Mawalyeh in the western 'suburbs' . I only need to go to town occasionally , take 8 minutes to work , and we have the major malls etc around us , so a lot of the townies come out here to shop ! Also , villas seem to be larger out here .
I do know that schooling allowance has increased , you get 75% of the 'band' that you are in . I suggested to the management that Omanair should build their own school .
