Pro Tips
- 1.Visit during off-peak hours (2-4pm) to avoid the lunch and dinner rush and have plenty of seating choices for your family.
- 2.Keep small bills in Omani Rials handy as some smaller food court vendors may have limited change, though most accept cards.

Weekday afternoons (2-4pm) or earlier weekend mornings (11am-12pm) are ideal to avoid peak crowds. The air-conditioned mall is especially appealing during hot summer months (May-September) when outdoor activities are limited by heat.
What to Know
The food court accepts both cash and cards, with individual meals typically ranging from 2-5 Omani Rials per person. Parking is available at the shopping centre, and the food court is easily accessible with strollers and offers high chairs for young children.
Seasonal Notes
