Plenty, a healthy-focused spot on Departures Level 4, is a good pick if you want something nutritious before a flight. Luna serves Latin kitchen flavors for something different, Cakes & Bakes covers desserts and baked goods, and Caffè Nero handles quality Italian coffee.
Shops & Lifestyle Stores
Duty-free shopping spans the arrivals and departures areas, well suited to last-minute souvenirs or gifts, alongside currency exchange stands and other traveler conveniences throughout the terminal.
Lounges / Relax Spots
The Primeclass Lounge is the headline act — a Skytrax-certified 5-star space with a broad range of complimentary facilities, an excellent buffet spread with food counters in two areas, and genuinely rare extras like a cinema and spa. It's exclusive to contracted airline premium passengers, but everyone else can pay at the door to experience it.
Other Activities
The Aerohotel on Level 5 essentially turns a long layover into a mini stay — a real rarity among airport transit hotels, with the buffet restaurant and power showers making it a genuinely restful option rather than just a place to nap.

Suggested Layover Itineraries
3-hour layover (airport only): Head up to Level 5, settle into the Primeclass Lounge if you have access, and grab a meal at Plenty or Luna before boarding.
5–6 hour layover: A taxi into central Muscat (about 25–35 minutes) is enough for a walk along the Corniche and a look at the Grand Mosque, with time to spare returning.
8+ hour layover: With the Aerohotel available for a proper rest, or a half-day exploring Muscat's Old Town and waterfront, this is a genuinely flexible airport for a long layover — just build in a comfortable buffer for the drive back.
