His Highness Sayyid Shihab bin Tariq welcomed him at the airport, alongside other senior Omani officials.

Pezeshkian is scheduled to meet privately with Sultan Haitham bin Tarik at Al Alam Palace. This will be followed by a high-level joint session between Iranian and Omani delegations, focusing on cooperation across trade, maritime affairs, infrastructure, and regional diplomacy.
An official reception ceremony was held at Al Alam Palace on Tuesday in honour of President Dr Masoud Pezeshkian of the Islamic Republic of Iran, on the occasion of his official visit to the Sultanate of Oman.

President Pezeshkian has called on regional nations to unite in confronting Israel's ongoing military operations in Gaza, which he condemned as "criminal behavior." The visit underscores Iran's diplomatic push for a coordinated regional response.
So far, Oman has already facilitated five rounds of backchannel talks between Iran and the United States to revive a nuclear agreement to replace the 2015 deal that U.S. President Donald Trump abandoned.
