Majid Al Futtaim or MAF has announced the opening of the Mall of Oman in Muscat, local reports have said.

The Mall of Oman is said to be the country’s largest complex of its kind.

It reportedly has a 9,000 sq m Carrefour Hypermarket as part of the MAF package, and apparently the largest Vox Cinemas, complete with 15 screens.

It is also said to have the only IMAX experience in the country, the first GOLD experience in Oman, and a Magic Planet facility featuring award-winning rides, games, and attractions.

Visitors may also expect brands from the Landmark and Apparel groups.

The mall will also reportedly offer outlets such as DKNY, Nespresso, G-Shock, Homes R Us, Tavola, and Al Khalili Buildex.

Dining options could include Kitchen 35, the VIP Lounge (GOLD), and Nutella.

Husam Al Mandhari, director of shopping malls in Oman at Majid Al Futtaim Properties, said the mall would be providing 3,500 new jobs in the region.

He added that the mall would soon have global cafés and restaurants which would offer more than 50 dining options.

Headquartered in Dubai, Majid Al Futtaim recently secured its first sustainability-linked loan of $1.5 billion, the largest in the Middle East and North Africa region.
