Oman's hotel industry is enjoying a boost in business, as a flow of travelers from across the Gulf region stream to the Sultanate for the recently launched Muscat Festival.
Organized by the Muscat Municipality for the third time this year, the five-week event features a variety of cultural activities and aims to boost Oman's image as a key tourist attraction in the Gulf region.
Just 20 minutes away by car from Seeb International Airport, the Crowne Plaza Muscat is in the vicinity of Al-Qurum Natural Park, one of the festival's four official locations.
Festival attractions include a children's village at Al-Naseem park, and an international folklore festival and trade exhibition at Festival Plaza, while popular Middle East singers will be performing at the site at Al-Athaiba Beach. — (menareport.com)
