Shopping Experience in Muscat

There are many shopping malls in Muscat, but three malls are renowned.

  1. Oman Avenues Mall
  2. Muscat Grand Mall (MGM)
  3. City Center Muscat

Other options are shopping from stores located on various streets and Souks (Muttrah Souk).

1. Oman Avenues Mall:

The mall opened in Q2 of 2015 and is probably the biggest mall in Oman. When I visited in June 2015, the mall was partially open. This mall is on Sultan Qaboos Road and is besides the well known mall – Muscat Grand Mall. The mall has a huge Lulu Hypermart besides other branded stores. The food courts is on the top floor, but some coffee shops are in the other floors of the mall also, like Starbucks. Many stores were not inaugurated.

Other notable points on the mall are Funtazmo and The Arena Walk, both of which didn’t open when I was there.
