It depends on the school. School fees will come to about 3000-4000 rials a year per child at the British School in Muscat. The Sultan School is a bit cheaper - about 2000-3000 per child. The PDO school is free for Shell employees.
Whether your salary is enough depends on your lifestyle. You're looking at about 400 OMR a month for rent on a 3-bedroomed flat and 500 to 700 OMR a month for school fees. (Although in reality you will need to pay these fees in advance as a lump sum).
