The Intercontinental has been at the heart of Oman’s tourism for many years, ideally located on the beachfront not far from the commercial heart of Muscat. The rooms are a reasonable size and decorated in elegant, modern style. There are several eating and drinking venues from the lively Al Ghazal Pub and Trader Vic’s to the more relaxed Musandam Café. There are two pools, a full range of sports facilities and direct access to the beach as well.
