With its rotunda -shaped dome and newly opened multi-purpose facilities,
Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre, (OCEC) is a striking addition to Muscat’s skyline. The centre has emerged as a full-fledged venue that boasts state of the art architectural design which blends in seamlessly with the surrounding natural landscape, offering amazing panoramic views and a unique experience for the visitors and businesses alike.
Situated in its own purpose built fully integrated precinct for business and events OCEC
is supported by leisure and hospitality facilities, enhancing Oman’s appeal as a tourism destination. The centre is also well connected to main road networks in the capital, making it the perfect hub for hosting Oman’s most prestigious and high-profile events. These include: conferences, economic forums,cultural concerts and art shows, all of which reinforce OCEC as the venue of choice for local, regional and international events.
The national objective of establishing a convention centre has flourished over the years to become a proud legacy today. This achievement is a testament to OMRAN’s strong determination and desire to rank Oman as a hub for local
and international events, not least in terms of establishing
a world-class venue but providing the requisite support infrastructure as a destination for business travel. This vision is in line with the Sultanate’s strategy to develop a vibrant tourism industry which promotes economic diversification and evolves it into an attractive and competitive destination for local, regional and international tourism.
