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.
