Asia Oman Muscat Shopping Souq Al Madina

Souq Al Madina

The guide was updated:
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.

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.

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.
