Why European buyers compare Oman property

Many European buyers first compare familiar international property markets such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Spain or Portugal. Oman offers a different proposition: quieter coastal communities, selected off-plan projects, resort-style locations and a more personal buying process.
