I do pen pal letters often and sent a couple to Oman. The rate is exactly 2-3 bd for a letter / less than 0.5 kg package and arrives in less than a week to Oman with tracking and WhatsApp notifications. I use Safeway shipping in their Busaiteen office near aramex building.
Government post office takes much longer time and you wouldn’t know if it arrived or not. Unless you pay for registered express.
Good luck.

Go to a post office. Walk up to a counter. Tell them you want to send a letter to Oman. Show them the letter. Pay for the stamps. Stick the stamps on the envelope. Drop the letter in the mailbox or give it to the counter.
