Al-Waha
Al-Waha is a hotel in Muscat that is part of a large resort complex on the coast, offering 262 rooms with modern design and traditional Omani touches. Each room features a balcony or terrace with views of the Gulf of Oman, and the resort includes multiple restaurants, pools, a lazy river, and sports facilities such as tennis courts and a gym.
The resort opened in late 2005 and was originally managed by the Shangri-La Group before management changed. The area has a long history as a trading port that developed into a modern city while respecting its heritage.
The name Al-Waha means 'the oasis' in Arabic, referencing its history as a resting place for travelers and merchants. Visitors can experience Omani hospitality through attentive staff and a welcoming atmosphere that encourages relaxation and meaningful interactions during their stay.
The hotel is about a 40-minute drive from Muscat's main airport, making it easily accessible for arriving travelers. The location provides convenient access to nearby beaches, local markets, and Omani attractions such as forts and mosques for day trips.
The hotel features a lazy river where guests can float along, an unusual feature for this area. It also has specialized areas for different age groups, including a kids' club for children up to ten years old and separate pools for toddlers.
