There are a number of cafés, quick-service and sit-down restaurants available in the passenger areas at Muscat Airport.
Those who seek a coffee will find both Starbucks and Costa Coffee available, with coffee, pastries and light snacks. A great place to get coffee and fast food is Tim Hortons.
If you're looking for a more substantial meal, Noor has Middle Eastern and international food in the departures area. Then there's Food Village, which is really a group of various food options, and it's handy for groups seeking various meals.
While it's familiar fast food chains, try KFC or McDonald's, and if you're looking for lighter fare, sandwiches and snacks will be offered by Camden Food Co.
If passengers are planning a meal, they should ask if there is an outlet before or after security. If you get a short connection, prefer to take a taxi to a local restaurant, instead of walking back to the main commercial area.
The duty-free items, Omani gifts, international brands and travel essentials are all included in shopping at MCT.
Muscat Duty Free is the airport shopping brand of choice for foreign travellers. It is also equipped with shops that sell fragrances, cosmetic products, skin care products, candy, tobacco, and more (as per customs regulations) for travellers to purchase.
Visitors can look for local gifts while travelling to Oman, such as dates, frankincense, sweets (packaged) and perfumes. Amouage, the luxury perfumes brand from Oman, has a stall at the airport, and can be considered a special gift for those who want to gift something Omani.
Good for last-minute travel, books, or magazines: WHSmith. Jewellery, fashion accessories and other speciality retail are available at the point of departure too.
Do critical shopping before approaching a faraway gate. There is more choice available in the main retail area than in the smaller areas next to individual boarding gates.
There are several designated lounge areas for appropriate passengers at Muscat Airport.
Oman Air First and Business Class Lounge is situated in the international departures section and is available for Oman Air qualifying passengers' use. Seating for eating, sleeping and working.
The Primeclass Lounge is also an important consideration for international travel. May be provided to eligible travellers and may also be available for hire to travellers in certain circumstances.
The Majan Lounge will be an additional luxury waiting experience for qualifying passengers. Availability may be limited by the facilities of the airline, membership in the lounges or other requirements.
Be sure to check access details thoroughly prior to travelling. If you have a short time to connect, select a lounge where you have sufficient time to get to your departure gate.
The design of the terminal at Muscat Airport is modern and was inspired by the Omani design. The central space is for passengers to disembark, shop, and dine before they exit via separate gates.
If you have a longer layover, you can use the airport lounges, visit the duty-free shops at Muscat or eat in the departures area.
The Aerotel Muscat is located in the airport terminal and is extremely useful for travellers who need to get the right amount of rest in a few hours without leaving the airport.
Remain inside the airport. You will need to perform these transfers first, eat or drink a coffee, shop at Muscat Duty Free and stay near your departure gate.
Have a proper meal, purchase Omani goods and use a qualified lounge. Those passengers in need of rest seeking can find out about the availability at Aerotel Muscat.
Depending on the time, it may be possible to visit Muscat on the way home. Only leave if immigration requirements, baggage requirements, and your flight schedule provide you with a sufficient return buffer.
