The official language is Arabic though English is widely spoken. Hindi and Swahili are also spoken within the country. While Islam is the official religion, other religions are peacefully tolerated in moderate Oman.
A private hired car with driver is by far the most reliable way to explore Muscat or travel between business meetings. If you would like to use private transport, please contact our Concierge Team to make all the necessary arrangements for you.
The best time to travel to Muscat is from October through April when daytime temperatures fall to relatively low 30s or below while the summer’s sunniest days between June and August can see temperatures rise into the 50s.

We remove any confusing cultural guesswork in the hotel by including a service charge in the room rates. Guests may wish to recognise our fine staff, however, it is entirely at your discretion. Outside the resort, a 5-10% tip, although not expected, is sincerely appreciated in most restaurants and services.

As per Omani law, restrictions apply to the service of alcohol at certain times of the day.

During the fasting month of Ramadan, alcohol will only be served via in-room service throughout the day, and after sunset at The Restaurant and The Club Lounge.
