I think it depends on your lifestyle... Oman is a much more diverse and beautiful country with lots to see and do... However, only if you are into NATURE. Muscat is not anymore exciting than Doha.. In fact, I think Doha may be more "cosmopolitan," of course I mean that in the loosest meaning possible -- Doha has more shopping malls, hotels, facilities, etc.
In terms of culture, Oman is more liberal -- the locals are more tolerant of things like alcohol (in fact locals are allowed to purchase alcohol, unlike here in Qatar). They are more down to earth. You will find an Omani laborer, whereas in Qatar, there's no such thing.
Qatar, on the other hand, has more to offer if you are into luxurious things like spas, fine dining, designer brand shopping, etc. You may also get a better package in Qatar -- keep in mind though, that living expenses are much higher here.
If it was me, I would pick Oman. I have traveled all over the world and Oman remains one of the most beautiful I've ever visited. It is truely a hidden gem, with gorgeous mountains, wadis, deserts, beaches and seas... The road infrastructure there is a million times more developed than Qatar, so you don't even need a 4X4 to explore the country! The grand canyon forever, has smooth paving all the way to the peak! Imagine that! And the ocean is so nice there -- you can watch the turtles and snorkel... in Qatar, the best you'll see is maybe a few crabs and a few lame fish.
First of all congrats on your new offers!
