The Sultanate of Oman has achieved a remarkable milestone by ranking 4th globally in the 2026 Numbeo Quality of Life Index, placing it among the world’s most desirable countries to live, work, and invest in. 

This prestigious ranking — alongside countries such as the Netherlands, Denmark, and Luxembourg — reflects Oman’s outstanding performance across a wide range of quality?of?life indicators, including safety, healthcare, living costs relative to income, environmental conditions, infrastructure, and overall resident satisfaction. 

In addition to its global standing, Oman continues to excel regionally, maintaining its position as one of the top nations in Asia and the Middle East for quality of life. These accolades underscore the effectiveness of national development strategies and ongoing efforts to enhance social well?being throughout the Sultanate. 

The Numbeo Quality of Life Index is a widely referenced global benchmark that compiles crowd?sourced data and statistical measures to evaluate living conditions across countries. Oman’s strong showing this year highlights its commitment to sustainable progress, social stability, and economic resilience, which together contribute to a high standard of living for both citizens and expatriates. 

Muscat Hills International Development (MHID) celebrates this achievement as a testament to the Sultanate’s vision and the collective efforts of public and private sectors in fostering an environment where people and businesses can thrive.
