This definitely is one of the best beaches in Muscat and having a long walk there feels therapeutic. Anytime of the day is suitable to visit this place and is also lined with fine cafes which makes it even better.

If you come to Oman and haven't been to Qurum beach, your visit has not been justified..Qurum is the most favorite beach in Oman for everyone as it has a very happening and energetic feel, at the same time it has a vibe which calms you. You are allowed to bathe/swim in the beach and there are changing rooms provided at the beach itself. Also, for tourists, it is the perfect beach to go, as it is surrounded by some good hotels like crowne plaza, intercontinental and ramada.

Can get very busy but mostly with walkers, joggers and families, all moving. Few folks sunbathe. Police have been patrolling regularly since March 2020 but rules over what is being enforced are vague. Parking is always a challenge in teh late afternoons.
Quietest place for a walk, or yoga is past the British Embassy up toward the private jetty near the Diplomats Club - but don't tell anyone!

Not my first visit. Having breakfast with a sea view can never be boring. Various cafes and restaurants are around the area, and few other shops. We used to walk along the beach or on the sidewalk which is hugged by trees. Few benches scattered here and there to rest. People can sit under trees for picnics and enjoy beach games, but barbecue is not allowed (you can bring your food). Relaxing place to do yoga.

Can we walk from the cruise ship to a beach thanks for any help

No. I think it's too mountainous. A short taxi ride to Aint beach or Darsait beach possibly the best bet. Having said that I didn't go to either. It is not like a Bali beach. Not many swimmers. Some beaches you can't swim. QURUM beach is a public beach and is very nice but not many swimmers then of course females must cover up.
Does anyone know where good fishing area in muscat ? which beach ? or is there a jetty where locals fish ? and what do they catch
How far is the beach from the center of Muscat.

Are there any public facilities anywhere on the 4 km strand of the beach? Public washroom, change room, shower?
We are checking out of our hotel in the city at noon and would like to spend the afternoon at the beach before catching our airplane in the evening. So changing in and out of a swimming suit is a must + shower.
Thank you in advance for any advice.

Hello there are public toilet booths but unfortunately there are no showers. If you want to enjoy a day at the beach then freshen up i recommend you can visit Grand Hyatt Hotel directly on Qurum beach where you can get a pool access for 10 Omr per person and a free access to the whole beach that way you can keep your clothing in the lockers enjoy a day at the beach and pool then freshen up and catch your flight

How long ist the distance between the cruise harbour and the beach. What’s the price to drive to the beach with the taxi? Thanks

Aucune idée pour la distance entre le port et la plage. Nous y sommes allés en taxi. Les prix de taxis ne sont pas si bas. Il faut négocier.

how do you get to qurum beach from cruise port

It's extremely easy to tour around Muscat and therefore from cruise port to most beautiful beaches "Qurum Beach" you can either go by taxi or open tour buses like the one in London. If you time is limited, I strongly suggest that you catch taxi which is not expensive and taxi drivers are extremely friendly and most of them speak decent English...Wishing you pleasant stay in Oman and please do don't hesitate to ask any further questions....

I don't think a 15 seater bus could park there. They would have to drop people and go park further away maybe a mile or so down the road.
Is there showers over there and is it allowed to camp?

Do not think you can go camping there. Not sure about showers but probably not.

Привет.
Извините за поздний ответ.
Я два раза с семьей посещал Маскат в январе. Купаться на этом пляже можно в купальниках без проблем. Топлесс лучше не загорать. Но , если вы будете загорать не рядом с каким-нибудь отелем, вы будете там в одиночестве. Вечером пляж заполняют футболисты .Способ передвижения такси ( можно поторговаться). Есть еще микроавтобусы , в которых перемещаются в основном индусы. Они дешевле, но мы не пользовались. В январе в море часто были мелкие зеленые водоросли ( может случайность). Порт находится в другом заливе.
