Al Mouj is an upscale residential community in the Seeb area, near the airport. There are hotels, dining, and a very international feel. It’s a nice neighborhood for running, with beautiful boulevards and landscaped walkways, a scenic marina, and a waterside linear park. It’s easy to put together a nice ~5 mile route within this area. We’ve mapped a route, but you can create your own too.

Start with a ~1 km loop around Al Mouj Island Park. Then head toward the beach, turning LEFT on Street 6 (the main road), and run for 1 km out to the marina. Then head down Al Mouj St., away from the water, and head back east for 2 km along the plam-lined paths of Al Mouj Linear Park, as far as the golf course. Return via residential streets or back through the park.
Add-Ons: Just east if Al Mouj, the waterfront promenade runs for 12 km from Al Hail North Beach to Seeb Beach.

The best running in Muscat is along one of a series of waterfront promenades. We've mapped four non-contiguous sections between from Mutra and Seeb Beach. Great views of the Gulf of Oman & interior mountains. Beaches are also runnable!
Mutrah is one of our favorite places to run in the Muscat area, with historic sites, a large park, wide boulevards, and the 4 km Mutrah Corniche waterfront promenade. Full route is 11+ km. Add-on with Riyam Park.
Great running in this upscale suburb of Muscat. Qurum Natural Park is a green oasis with nice paths making for a 3.5 km loop. Combine with the Qurum Beach path for an 11 km run. Beach and residential streets in area also runnable.
Experienced trail runners will be in their glory in Oman's rugged desert mountain landscape. For slightly gentler trail running, the roads and paths that pass through Oman's wadis make for a unique running experience. Note: rugged, exposed, and hot.
