Top 5 things to do at Muscat International Airport

It doesn’t matter if you are a frequent traveller or a sporadic passenger at Muscat International Airport, waiting is inevitable. So how would you spend that extra time at Muscat International Airport?

1. Enjoy the Free WiFi
The minute after you pass border control get online and make your friends jealous about your about-to-start holidays. Share your location with a pin: Muscat International Airport and wait for their comments back. You will not realise and it will be boarding time. Any last picture before boarding for your Instagram?

2. Get a Splash of Omani Perfume
Either at Muscat Duty Free shop or at its own Amouage Boutique you can try one of the most expensive perfume brands: Amouage. And it is made in Oman. You will enjoy the nice smell of its fragrances for the whole flight. Who will pick you up at your arrival? For sure (s)he will be happy.

3. Take a Coffee Break
Take a cup of coffee and choco chips cookies from Caribou Café and take a seat at the chairs facing the airport’s outdoor between Gate 16 and 23. Especially if it is dark you will have a very interesting view: The lights of
the runaway, the planes landing, and taking off.

4. Look Around
Tired of the view? Turn facing the other side and enjoy the show: Businessmen in a rush to catch their flights, tanned tourists going back home after their vacation in Oman, big families leaving on holidays with toys and trolleys and their screaming kids, lost travellers carrying big luggage and the crème de la crème: The cabin crew with their elegant dresses and bonnets. Can you spot them all?

5. Get Last Minute Souvenirs
Camel milk chocolates from Al Nassma stand are a must or why not take home a piece of art from Al Madina Gallery? It will satisfy any persnickety mother-in-law.
