In Muscat, where the mountains meet the sea and every detail whispers refinement, Mandarin Oriental invites guests to celebrate Eid Al-Adha in a way that blends tradition, elegance, and immersive cultural exploration. Perched along the tranquil shores of Shatti Al-Qurum, the city’s most coveted address, the resort offers an experience that feels as grounded in place as it is elevated in spirit—a quiet invitation to rediscover Oman, one curated moment at a time.
For those seeking a longer pause, the One More Night offer gifts guests a complimentary third night, allowing time to truly settle in. Whether spent lounging beside the pool, strolling along the shore at sunset, or delving into the architectural serenity of the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, this Eid becomes more than a break—it becomes a breath.
Cultural connoisseurs can explore the kaleidoscope of Muscat’s old-world soul: private tours through the gilded halls of the Royal Opera House, treasure hunting in Muttrah Souq, or setting off on a curated coastal dhow cruise. For the more adventurous, guided hikes reveal the rugged poetry of Oman’s terrain, while dolphin-watching excursions offer nature’s own brand of wonder. Each experience is tailored by the resort’s concierge with a focus on authenticity, discovery, and connection.
Culinary experiences during Eid are equally elevated. At Rawya, the hotel’s signature Silk Road buffet on 5 June turns dining into theatre. From locally caught seafood and live sushi stations to delicate Arabic sweets and hand-pulled noodles, the evening is a sensory celebration of both land and sea, priced at OMR 25 per person.
At Essenza, Italy is reimagined through the lens of Omani freshness. Signature dishes like Astice del Marinaio, prepared with fresh Omani lobster, and Raviolone al Tuorlo Fondente with duck ragu, transport diners to Tuscan kitchens, while the Pizza del Casaro—laced with truffle honey and gorgonzola—offers a decadent finale. The dining room opens daily from 6:30 pm, but for a lighter touch, Essenza al Banco offers a counter-style experience on 6 June. Crisp arancini, burrata, and seafood baskets create an afternoon of laid-back Italian indulgence, priced at OMR 15 per person.
Wellness at Mandarin Oriental, Muscat is more than ritual—it is storytelling. At The Spa, guests can immerse themselves in The Royal Touch by Amouage, a scent-driven experience created in collaboration with the iconic Omani perfume house. Beginning with a bespoke attar consultation—featuring rare blends like Rose Aqor and Santal Sohar—the treatment is steeped in heritage and ends with a graceful signature hand massage. Available as a spa enhancement for OMR 20, it’s a journey through scent, touch, and memory.
Throughout the long weekend, the resort becomes a stage for stillness and celebration, a place where architecture echoes Oman’s ancient grace and service feels like an unspoken rhythm. Mandarin Oriental, Muscat doesn’t just mark Eid—it honours it, with considered detail and timeless hospitality.
