The event showcased exciting developments, solidifying the mall's status as a premier shopping destination in Oman.
Muscat Grand Mall opened its doors in March 2012 with its Phase 1 zone, which included the MGM shopping mall, Tilal offices, and Tilal residences. Since then, the establishment has expanded its assets through the addition of more retail shops, offices, and residential flats in its Phase 3 zone in 2017. Today, MGM boasts approximately 150+ brands, multiple offices, and 379 residential units. Conveniently located in the heart of the capital, Muscat Grand Mall is the largest mixed-use property in the city, featuring easy access from all corners of the city. The mall is surrounded by vibrant attractions, including the luxurious Millennium Hotel, the Tilal Residential Area, and Tilal Office Spaces.
The press event was attended by key stakeholders, partners, and media representatives, who were introduced to the mall's innovative upgrades and new retail arrivals. Among the highlights was the partnership with 'Seraj,' which introduced state-of-the-art LED screens that enhance outdoor advertising. This upgrade not only modernizes the visual landscape of the mall but also provides dynamic advertising opportunities, ensuring that visitors are engaged and informed.
Additionally, attendees were introduced to a new parking management system developed in collaboration with 'Hayak.' This cutting-edge solution is designed to improve traffic flow and create a seamless parking experience for all our visitors, making visits to Muscat Grand Mall more convenient than ever.
The event also celebrated the arrival of several new tenants that will enrich the mall's diverse offerings. Visitors can explore soon Bint Meknes, which offers exquisite Moroccan perfumes and soaps; Mambo Zanzibar, featuring Zanzibar cuisine in a vibrant food court setting; and authentic Bukhari, a delightful spot for Afghani culinary experiences. The Pottery Workshop invites visitors to engage in pottery crafting sessions while browsing handcrafted pottery items.
Fashion enthusiasts will be pleased to find Miniso, known for its diverse range of lifestyle products, alongside Tahani for High-end Brands, which offers luxury fashion tailored for discerning shoppers. For those seeking quick bites, Crunch and Munch Café provides a trendy atmosphere, while Culinary Delights presents a selection of Arabic and Italian cuisines at our casual dining section on the M floor at Muscat Grand Mall.
Additionally, anchor tenants such as Apparel Group, Vox Cinema, Sharaf DG, and Faby Land continue to play a significant role in enhancing the shopping experience at Muscat Grand Mall. Their presence not only attracts more visitors but also ensures that the mall remains a vibrant hub for entertainment and retail therapy.
Furthermore, we are excited to announce that our Mazaya Grand Advantage Card Program will soon be digitalized into a mobile application, transitioning from the physical card format. Mazaya Grand is an automated gift and discount program for the entire Tilal properties (Muscat Grand Mall, Al Madina Real Estate, Al Madina Takaful, and Grand Millennium Hotel), making it easier for customers to enjoy exclusive rewards and benefits at their fingertips.
These new additions not only diversify the mall retail landscape but also reflect Muscat Grand Mall's commitment to providing an unmatched shopping experience.
'We are thrilled to unveil these exciting updates,' said Ali Al Hosni, Acting CEO of Tilal Development Company SAOC. 'Our goal is to continually enhance the visitor experience while attracting diverse brands that cater to all tastes and preferences.'

Directive reinforces Arabic for official communications in Oman
Muscat – Government Communication Centre has confirmed that the Council of Ministers has issued a directive mandating proper use of Arabic across all sectors in a move aimed at preserving the language as a cornerstone of national identity. The decision applies to all units of the state's administrative apparatus, state-owned enterprises, public and private legal entities, civil institutions and associations. 'In response to what has been circulated on social media concerning the document regulating the use of Arabic, Government Communication Centre affirms that Council of Ministers has recently issued a directive requiring all relevant bodies – governmental and non-governmental – to comply with this regulation. This directive underscores the sultanate's ongoing efforts to preserve the Arabic language as a vital element of Oman's national identity,' the statement said. The directive requires accurate Arabic to be used in naming government projects including streets, neighbourhoods, squares and parks, with names in other languages permitted in parentheses where necessary. It also mandates the use of proper Arabic in official communications such as meetings, events, agreements, MoUs, contracts, decisions, regulations and media advertisements. Translations or simultaneous interpretation may be provided in the public interest. The directive extends to the education sector, covering both public and private schools and higher education institutions, unless otherwise exempted by competent authorities. Correct Arabic must also be used in medical reports, prescriptions, academic certificates, degree equivalency decisions, and on official documents such as banknotes, stamps and medals. The use of other languages is permitted alongside Arabic when needed. The Council of Ministers has also urged private sector entities including banks, insurance companies, telecom firms and utility providers to ensure Arabic is used correctly in all public communications and documentation. The move is part of a wider national initiative to preserve the Arabic language and ensure its consistent use across all institutional and societal levels. The directive has received strong public support, with many seeing it as a reaffirmation of Oman's cultural and linguistic heritage. 'This is a declaration of loyalty to our identity and a covenant with the Arabic tongue. The statement restores Arabic to its rightful place in the national system,' Hilal al Zaidi posted on social media. Citizen Aisha al Riyami said, 'Language is the soul of a nation. By reinforcing the use of Arabic, Oman is ensuring that future generations remain connected to their heritage and roots. This decision reflects the significance of language in shaping identity and unity.'

Oman reaffirms Arabic language use across public and private sectors
Muscat: The Government Communication Centre clarifies that the Council of Ministers has recently directed all units of the State's administrative apparatus, and other relevant public and private legal entities, institutions, and civil associations, to adhere to the mentioned guidelines. The clarification comes in response to a formal directive by the Council of Ministers emphasizing the importance of upholding Arabic as a key element of national identity and a pillar of Oman's Vision 2040. According to a document released by the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers, the use of Arabic is now mandatory in several key areas, including: Naming of Public Projects: New government-related projects such as streets, neighborhoods, and public spaces must be named in Arabic. A secondary name in another language may be added in parentheses if needed, but priority is given to Arabic terminology. Official Government Operations: All official business — including meetings, contracts, agreements, circulars, publications, and advertisements — must be conducted and documented in Arabic. The use of other languages is permitted only in urgent cases where public interest is at stake. Language of Instruction: Arabic remains the primary language of instruction in all government and higher education institutions unless otherwise specified by relevant regulations. Medical and Legal Documentation: Medical prescriptions, scientific certificates, legal decisions, and commercial contracts must be issued in Arabic. Other languages may be added alongside Arabic for clarity or international purposes. In addition, the Council urged private sector entities — including telecom companies, banks, utility providers, and insurers — to adopt the proper use of Arabic in their public communications and reports. The Government Communication Center stressed that these efforts aim to reinforce the Arabic language's standing in Omani society, highlighting it as one of the core components of the nation's cultural identity and strategic vision for the future.

Oman court fines furniture business RO 1,000 for Consumer Law violations
Muscat – The Primary Court in Barka has fined a furniture sales and customization business RO1,000 for breaching Oman's Consumer Protection Law under Royal Decree No. (66/2014) and its executive regulations. The case began when a customer filed a complaint with the Consumer Protection Department in Barka after the business failed to deliver five customised bedframes on time. The customer had paid an advance of RO 450 towards a total contract value of RO 870, with an agreement that the products would be ready within three weeks. Despite repeated delays, the establishment did not meet the deadline, prompting the consumer to escalate the matter. After efforts to resolve the dispute amicably failed, the case was handed to the Public Prosecution, which referred it to the court. The court convicted the business representatives of two offences: failing to provide the agreed service properly and not issuing a clear invoice in Arabic as proof of the transaction. Each representative was fined RO 500 for the first offence and RO 400 for the second. The penalties were merged, with the higher fine enforced, and the defendants were ordered to bear legal costs. The Consumer Protection Authority reiterated the importance of compliance with consumer laws and regulations. It said it would take legal action against violators to protect consumer rights and maintain the integrity of commercial transactions.
