Muscat — 24 December 2025
The Muscat Nights Festival will take place from 1 to 31 January 2026 across the Muscat Governorate, delivering a comprehensive urban winter season that brings together entertainment, culture, sports, arts, and the economy within a single, integrated citywide experience.

The festival will be held at multiple locations throughout Muscat, including Qurum Natural Park, Amerat Park, the Royal Opera House, Seeb Beach, Qurayyat, Wadi Al-Khoudh, shopping malls, and the Oman Automobile Association circuit, transforming the city into an open and vibrant stage.

The festival’s main mascot is “Siraj,” a luminous and symbolic child character that shapes the visual and storytelling identity of Muscat Nights, with particular appeal to families and children.

Key highlights include:

• A symphony of fountains, light, and music at Qurum Park Lake
• Nighttime drone shows featuring dynamic illuminated formations
• The Muscat Nights International Circus, with global performers and hologram technology
• Educational and recreational programs for children
• Carnivals, daily parades, concerts, and cultural evenings

On the sports front, a wide range of events will be staged, including cycling, endurance sports, shooting, martial arts, friendly football matches, bowling, billiards, and international 3×3 basketball tournaments. Adventure and youth-focused activities such as car drifting, zip-lining, and outdoor experiences are also part of the program.

The heritage and culture section will feature traditional Omani villages, handicrafts, local cuisine, and folk arts, re-presenting Oman’s cultural identity in a contemporary format.

In parallel, Oman Design Week will be held at Al-Khoudh Square, while Fashion Week at the Royal Opera House Muscat, with the participation of international designers, will further enhance the creative, artistic, and global dimension of Muscat Nights.
