Salalah
Oman · UTC+4
The eight criteria
6 working hours shared with Western Europe.
0 with the US east coast.
Climatically workable months: January, February, March, April, October, November, December.
Salalah has no hand-written dossier: we measure neither its real speeds, nor its coworking spaces, nor its community on the ground. The figures above are computed — the label under each says where it comes from. What is certain: the entry right, the shared working hours and the season.
Where Salalah stands
70/100 — rank 565 of the 834 cities scored, and 119 of the 251 in Asia. A score on its own says nothing; its position explains it.
What carries it: Sécurité (95/100, rank 3), Climat (75/100, rank 41). What holds it back: Facilité visa (60/100, rank 642), Timezone (EU+US) (50/100, rank 605).
The six closest profiles
Closeness is computed across all eight scores, not the overall one: two cities at 80 may have nothing in common — one expensive and safe, the other cheap and loud. It is the shape of the profile that matches.
Salalah, beyond the score
What the score leaves out and the city file already knows: where to sleep, where to eat, what to see after work, when to come, how to get there.
