Housing for OLNG employees:

Housing in Sur depends on the company you work for. The people who work directly for Oman LNG live in a purpose built housing complex, Hay Al Shurooq, on the outskirts of Sur town.
The houses are a beautiful mixture of Arabic and European style. They are spacious, light and have their own gardens. Hay Al Shurooq has 130 houses in five clusters, each cluster containing a mixture of three and four bedroom homes.

The houses come fully furnished with living room, dining room and bedroom fittings, the bed sizes ranging from super king to cots and toddlers. The study is also furnished with a desk, bookcase, pin board and computer table.

When you have been allocated a house, you will receive a 'personalisation allowance'. This will enable you to purchase rugs, lamps and a few other furniture items to personalise your home.

Most of the people who work directly for QLNG live in Sur town. There are a lot of very spacious houses in Sur, mainly along the beach road area that are rented by QLNG. The houses that the employees get allocated are partly furnished (kitchen and bathrooms fully equipped). An allowance is given to furnish the house. If you have your favourite decorations or/and piece of furniture, we suggest bringing it with you, especially if you are a fan of the Western/European style.
