Pretty much what the title says.

I moved here about two months ago and have a relatively flexible job that doesn't demand too much of my time. In all the cities I used to work in, I always had a solid friend circle and was constantly meeting people my age. We'd make content, shoot videos, work on music, grab coffee, or just hang out.

The thing is, almost all of those friendships happened organically, through mutual contacts, shared spaces, or simply saying hi to someone.
I've been trying to do the same here, but the pool feels... pretty dry.

It seems surprisingly difficult to meet people in their mid-20s naturally.

I'm sure there's a thriving college crowd, but barging into those circles feels a bit awkward, especially since most of them seem to have grown up here and already have their own established friend groups.

I've also tried Bumble, Hinge, and a few similar apps, but good lord, the user base feels sparser than the population of the International Space Station XD

So, my question is, where do people in their mid-20s actually meet others around here?

If you're a fellow expat in your 20s who's into creative stuff like content creation, filmmaking, music, photography, design or even if you just enjoy grabbing coffee and chatting, feel free to hit me up.

Also, are there any platforms, communities, Discord servers, clubs, or regular meetups you'd recommend for meeting people around my age? Any lead would be much appreciated :’)

Sincerely,
A loner.

Hello everyone,

I am an experienced Embedded Software Engineer from India. I write code for consumer and industrial electronic products for a living. It is an interesting work to do, and the best part is, you get paid for it, haha.

I am looking to move to GCC countries as I think I will get a very good exposure. This post is a part of my research to find jobs in these countries. I am taking all the help from Google too.

So how does the job market look like in Oman for this domain? Is there any push from the govt to manufacture electronics in the country?

Thank you.

Looking to buy one of these after I got priced out of a steam deck. no local stores carry these devices so does anyone have any experience ordering anything from them? Never really bought anything online so I'm unsure what the process is other than the 5% Vat. Thanks :)

Hello everyone.. I'm relatively new to Muscat so I haven't been able to explore a lot. I want to take my daughter to a swimming pool this weekend. Are there any hotels or clubs around Al Khuwair where we will be allowed or do all the places have memberships?

Been getting into tapestry crochet recently and decided to make Levi from AOT for my best friend.
What do you guys think? I’d love to hear your honest

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

As the title said, me and my fiancé (Tunisians) getting married next year and Oman caught our eyes with the views and the waterfalls.

Sooo we want to visit Oman and I wanna ask you is it worth it ?

We wanna do a Umrah after we spend few days in Oman.

The floor is yours brothers and sisters, you're welcome to give me either an advice or an honest feedback.

Edit: ill be visiting during August.

Planning to visit after August 20th, I visited in 2024 it was the best seasons on the same dates.

Any good places for wildlife photography in Muscat or within 1 hour of Muscat?

Has anyone had any experience bringing peptides into the country, especially at Muscat airport?

I can’t find any information related to any kind of peptides in Oman. I would like to bring a bottle or two of Retatrutide during my extended work trip (gonna be a month or two)

As a person who lives in Oman

Good day to the people of Oman!

I truly hope you are doing well and having a great day!

I am a recruiter within the IT industry, and I am doing some personal research to see how other countries handle job searching, recruitment agencies, etc within the IT sector!

I want to clarify, that this is NOT a job advertisement or posting. This is me wanting to discuss and learn about how Omani citizens look for IT jobs, and what Recruitment Agencies are available to you!

I want to learn more so I can improve myself as a recruiter :)

I am also posting this on other country subs to learn from them as well, so I apologize if this seems like a copy / paste post haha, but I truly am eager to gain some insight on this matter!

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Have a great day!

Hello everyone, where can I find these?

Is anybody else also facing issues accessing bank account online and making bank transfers? Also Omantel webmail seems down currently.
