Things to do

Just next door to the hotel, you can shop til you drop or discover great fun for all ages. Check out the interactive wall or marvel at the musical fountains. High fashion, cool kids, a cinema and multiple dining options make this a great place for a day out.

The largest aquarium in the Middle East is located in Seeb, not far from the hotel. Visitors will be awed by more than 30,000 colourful marine animals and over 200 different species. Families love the African penguins that call the park home, and the turtle rehabilitation centre is fascinating.

Delve into a bazaar of wonder at Seeb Souq. See mountains of fruit and spices line the narrow laneways. Wander by colourful stalls with friendly locals selling their wares. Make sure to try a kebab and fresh fruit juice and make your way out to the harbour front.

Oman’s largest shopping centre, this vast arena houses some of fashion’s biggest names and plenty for entertaining the family with its aquarium, casual restaurants and cinema. Find gifts, perfumes and much more in this attractive destination mall.

Stroll along the corniche shaded by palm trees as you watch people jostle for space to play games on the sand. Try some typical Omani dried fish and purchase local handcrafted goods that are available from local sellers. Cool down with an iced coffee from one of the coffee shops that line the 2 kilometre path.

This magnificent architectural beauty can be reached in around 20 minutes from Avani Muscat Hotel & Suites. The only Omani mosque open to non-Muslims, its cream marble minarets and decorative features are a dazzling sight to behold.

Feeling the need to cool down? Our sleek pool is the perfect place for a dip. Glide in for a refreshing swim or do some lengths to wake up your body. With great views and room to lounge, staying poolside is a great option.
