One of the more fully equipped airport lounges in the Gulf region, the Primeclass Lounge at Muscat International Airport spans multiple distinct zones and includes a cinema room, a spa, a gaming area, kids' play area, prayer rooms and showers. The lounge even has 8 hotel-style private bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, which are available on a first-come, first-served basis. This combination of amenities is rarely found in a single airport lounge.
The buffet draws on Middle Eastern, South Asian and other international cooking. The line-up typically includes Omani coffee and dates, hummus, labneh, mutabal, and fattoush. Hot dishes rotate and might include beef kofta, chicken curry, biryani, tandoori fish, and butter chicken, with umm ali among the dessert options. A secondary buffet in a separate zone serves lighter items such as chicken nuggets and fries. Two staffed bars - one near the entrance and a second further into the lounge - serve wine, beer, and spirits, plus soft drinks and barista-made espresso drinks.
The design draws on traditional Omani architecture, with geometric patterned wall panels, arched corridors, and large slanted windows. Electric massage chairs are available in the main lounge area at no extra charge. The on-site spa offers paid treatments.
This lounge is well suited to travelers with a long connection in Muscat who want to eat, rest, or be entertained without leaving the terminal.
