Overview

Muscat City Centre

The guide was updated: 2025-11-07

Shopping malls in the Middle East are not just about retail therapy, many families spend the entire day there, enjoying the entertainment options and seeking refuge from the heat. Muscat’s malls compete to attract visitors, and Muscat City Centre ranks as the second largest in the city. Inside, you’ll find perfume shops, a cinema, a Carrefour hypermarket, international brands, cafés, and restaurants, among many other businesses. Although the mall is located near the airport rather than in the city centre, it’s still well worth the trip.

Muttrah Souq

Muttrah Souq

As one of the oldest marketplaces in Oman, this bustling bazaar invites travellers to immerse themselves in a kaleidoscope of scents and colours. From exotic spices to intricate jewellery and rare antiques, every corner offers a sensory delight. Browse through the endless colourful stalls and venture away from the souq's main artery into the smaller side streets for even better deals. Do not be afraid to haggle, as prices can often be brought down to a fraction of the initial amount.

Souq Al Madina

Souq Al Madina

Souq Al Madina might not feel like a traditional Middle Eastern souq, but rather a modern shopping centre. However, it offers a smaller and quieter experience, ideal if you prefer to avoid the large, crowded malls. Located about 3 kilometres from Shati Al Qurum Beach, its facilities are modern, clean, and air-conditioned, complete with escalators for convenience. The outdoor area features water fountains that light up at night. One of the highlights of Souq Al Madina is its selection of local sweets, cafés, and restaurants.

Muscat Grand Mall

Muscat Grand Mall

The mall's impressive size lives up to the 'grand' part in its name. Local and international brands, a large variety of eateries, a cinema, and an international chain supermarket are all contained under one roof here. The top floor boasts a cosy shisha bar perfect for the after-hours.

Bateel

Bateel

Bateel creates edible masterpieces with dates, elevating them from an everyday local snack to an exquisite dessert fit for a king. A visit to Bateel is guaranteed to help with gift ideas for loved ones back home.

Oman Avenues Mall

Oman Avenues Mall

Located right across the road from the Muscat Gran Mall, the Avenues is home to middle and upmarket brands. The mall features an impressive food court with everything from pizza to sushi on offer. There is a hypermarket inside with one of the widest selections of groceries in the city, and children's entertainment areas are available as well.
