The third season of Oman’s annual food festival will be its biggest ever, introducing brand new themes and events that are sure to attract a record number of local and international visitors. Running on three weekends over November and December in the gardens of Al Mouj Golf, festival-goers will be spoilt for choice with a line-up of the best eateries on Oman’s up-and-coming food scene.

With a particular focus on promoting Oman’s burgeoning SoHo and SME food businesses, visitors will also be able to meet several incubators from Ooredoo’s CSR programme.

Feras bin Abdullah Al Shaikh, Consumer Director at Ooredoo said, “Apart from being one of the most fun and most anticipated events on Oman’s winter calendar, Muscat Eat is playing a really important role for the community by supporting SME’s and entrepreneurs. It serves as an ideal opportunity to build on our CSR work with entrepreneurs, as our incubators gain increased exposure, interact face-to-face with customers, and come across potential new opportunities.”

The inaugural weekend, from the 14 – 16 November, is themed “Flavour Oman” and alongside Oman’s most mouthwatering delicacies, will showcase the best of Omani culture with a range of traditional performances and activities.
