Oman Events and Festivals

1/01/2009 - 2/06/2009Muscat Festival

The biggest event in Muscat (if not Oman) is the annual Muscat Festival, held for a month from early January in several outdoor venues around the city. The festival showcases Omani and neighbouring Arabic culture with poetry recitals, traditional dancing and craft displays. The event also attracts dance and acrobatic acts from other countries and includes fireworks and shopping stalls, mainly from the subcontinent and Far East. Since its inception in February 1998, the Muscat Festival has attracted visitors from around the world and captured their imagination through eye-catching events and activities that have successfully showcased the true essence of Oman.
