Depends on how much you pay for your accommodation in Kuwait.聽聽If with the accommodation in Oman, you save the same or more, go for it.聽聽Cost wise, Oman would be the same or even cheaper than Kuwait.聽 Plus the lifestyle and people there are much much nicer.

It's up to you in terms of priorities.聽 Personally, I would go for two days off and better lifestyle choices vs. a bit more money.

As I said, it is up to you to figure out your priorities.聽 No one can make that decision for you.聽 I just told you what my decision would be but then again, my priorities are different.

HI there buddy.
Any news about your move to Oman? Any feedback please - how is the country, and was the move worth it when you consider lifestyle, people, and how you are treated in General.

Damn your salary is really high. .so: If you have 100 or 200 Dollar more or less should聽 not consider you very much?
Take some days Off Go to Oman and have a look. Then decide ?!:-)
I would prefer more free time but everyone is different..
