Why do Eastern Province residents move to Oman?
The Eastern Province is home to thousands of families working in oil, petrochemicals and ports, and many of them move to similar projects in Sohar, Duqm and Muscat. Omani families who spent years in Khobar and Dhahran also return home. Since the Empty Quarter road opened, the move from the east to Oman is a direct road trip with no need to cross the UAE.
