I say "state of the art" because it really is one of the most beautiful airports I’ve been to; open for only five days, I had the honor, the pleasure and the chance to be one of the few to experience this fantastic structure built with style, finesse, and attention to every single detail. Muscat Airport Terminal 2 is a decor masterpiece for sure as well as a high standard establishment in respect and professionalism. Happy and excited, I took hundreds of pictures, delighted to share in google maps as well as my personal blog.
Arriving on the 26th, Six days only after the opening, I was astonished to discover the change; amazing, I said to myself, it’s simply amazing. Using the finest and most expensive material out there, the Airport speaks class, luxury and style all by being beautiful and stylish at the same time. You don’t feel the heaviness of a rich hotel but the professionalism of a country, wanting to leave a superb first and last impression.
It’s the first and the last impression when one visits a country; and Oman managed to show it in the best of ways. A beautiful airport designed like if it was the reception of a five stars hotel, brightly lit and colored to satisfy the eyes. Walk through the long corridors, tour around the duty free, and enjoy every corner which deserves a photograph. If food is “instagramable”, this Airport is, even more, Instagram friendly.
The new Passenger Terminal boasts an unrivaled service for passengers passing through it. The stylish new state of the art airport has been designed to be a shining symbol of the Sultanate of Oman. The hub offers a significant boost to Oman’s steadily flourishing travel sector.
I was reminded of the day I visited Burj el Arab; hundreds of photos taken, I was impressed by the most luxurious hotel. The same happened to me here, a marvelous Airport, a memorable experience from the minute you walk in. It’s not intended for business use like Charles de Gaulle; it’s not focused on shopping like Dubai, it’s just refined and classy.
Handled by a team of professionals, trained to amaze, you are greeted with a smile and handled with care. Everyone is happy and ready to spread that happiness.
Pass security, walk through passport control and enjoy the duty-free! The duty-free is really nice! Corners for relaxations, sofas, beds, big screens, high ceiling and design lanterns, leather chairs and fine wood; the Airport impresses!
Not only that, but wait until you see the restaurants: OMG! Amazing restaurants! Decorated with so much taste, I wished I can come again tomorrow. Lanterns pending from the ceiling, stripes of wood decorate the walls, high tables and bars, enough light to keep you awake and enough material to make you want to take pictures.
It’s clear that I was impressed and the amount of photos taken shows it. Enjoy Muscat Terminal 2 and plan your next visit to one of my favorite countries.
