I was researching where the tomb of the prophets were and saw that the tomb of Iyov is claimed to be in Oman. Do we know if he's buried there?

That location is not recognized by Judaism. It is a Muslim site. There are Jewish opinions that day Iyov never even existed, but is instead a moshol.

along with Ezra's opinion, are various opinions that Iyov lived at different times and in different places.

@ezra The only difference between a Jewish and a Muslim biblical gravesite is usually who lives nearby to make a big deal about it.
