The eight-million people who throng the mall every year is proof enough of Muscat City Centre's impeccable repute. "Muscat City Centre believes in the principle that people want a total shopping experience under one roof. The more you provide, the more you get," said Ibrahim Qasmi, general manager, Muscat City Centre.
The mall has certainly reinforced this vision. The mall offers a seamless blend of a host of premium international retail brands alongside unique family entertainment and leisure options.
Now with expansion plan in progress, Muscat City Centre is ensuring that not only does the shopping mall attract even more customers, but they have enough reason to visit the hub of fashion, food and fun.
