How Oman works as a nomad base
The nomad score leans hardest on affordability (45%) because cost is the lever remote workers feel monthly, then climate comfort (30%) and safety (25%). In Oman, Rustaq leads at 65/100 — cost 53, climate 71, safety 78; warmest-month highs around 29.8°C and coldest-month lows near 14.5°C give you a feel for the seasons. Rustaq is the pure-budget play at cost 53/100. Two practical factors sit outside the score — connectivity and visa/tax rules — so shortlist by these numbers, then verify internet quality and the current remote-work visa terms for Oman before booking anything long-term.
