Long Term Parking P2

OMR 5.300 per day gets you long‑stay pricing in walking range

P2 sits in front of Terminal T1 and runs as a hybrid “Short Term & Premium Long Stay” car park, with the same 0–30 and 30–60 minute bands as P1 but a flat OMR 5.300 for 3–24 hours. It’s about a 5‑minute walk to departures on normal days, so you keep short‑stay proximity without P1’s price creep on longer trips.

The key number: OMR 5.300 per 24‑hour period, capped the same for 3–24 hours and then again for each additional day. Compared to P1’s higher full‑day cost, P2 works better once your stay gets anywhere near overnight, and it scales sensibly for multi‑day business trips or long weekends out of Muscat.

P2 is signed on airport roads as long‑stay/short‑stay mix, not just “budget,” so don’t be thrown by the “Short Term & Premium Long Stay” wording in the official tariff table. You still pay the regular short‑term rate if you exit within 60 minutes, then drop onto the OMR 5.300 daily cap if you cross the 3‑hour mark and leave the car while you fly.

Regulars in local expat and frequent‑flyer groups usually tell people to skip P1 for any trip that runs overnight and move the car to P2 instead, purely on the math: OMR 5.300 per day, walking distance, and no need for shuttles. That pattern shows up consistently in Muscat parking comparisons for T1 departures.

Tip: If you’re only dropping someone and expect to be under 30 minutes, the cost is the same as P1, but if there’s any chance you’ll stay longer or your return runs late, drive straight to P2 and protect yourself with the cheaper 24‑hour cap.
