Oman today_ With the Muscat Nights 2026 Festival approaching and only about half a month remaining until it begins, Muscat Municipality has stepped up preparations by issuing tenders and awarding contracts for various activities to be held across the capital.
According to the planned schedule, Muscat Nights 2026 will be held by Muscat Municipality from January 1 to January 31, 2026. The festival will feature concerts, musical performances, and theatrical shows from the Gulf region and the Arab world, as well as concerts targeting popular artistic communities. It will provide numerous opportunities to attract singers, artists, performers, and theater groups to showcase their talents at the various venues associated with the festival.
In this context, contracts have been awarded for organizing and operating beach activities in Sur Al Hadid, marketing and promoting Muscat Nights, and hosting an e-gaming event at Al Amerat Park. One of the main venues for these events is Al Qurum Natural Park, which spans 1.7 million square meters, making it the largest park in Oman. The park is well-known for its winding paths, fountains, a theater, and a playground.
Meanwhile, Muscat continues to be among the most popular travel destinations. According to the 2026 Ticket to Travel EMEA Report by Marriott Bonvoy, four out of five travelers (79%) from Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) who plan to travel the same amount or more in 2026 compared to 2025 have included Muscat in their list of preferred destinations.
