T1’s main Electronics Store sits in the central duty-free zone
This is the go-to tech stop in Muscat International Airport’s Terminal T1, right in the main post-security shopping area. You’ll see it as you move from passport control toward the international gates. It leans heavily on travel basics: power banks, universal adapters, charging cables, headphones and small Bluetooth speakers that fit cabin baggage rules.
Prices track typical Gulf airport duty-free levels; expect to pay a premium of around 10–25% over downtown Muscat for branded items. The store usually stocks major phone brands’ official cables and chargers, plus a cheaper house-brand option on the same rack. It’s better for last‑minute needs than big-ticket buys like laptops or high-end cameras.
Opening hours generally mirror T1’s long-haul bank, with lights on for the overnight waves to Europe and Asia. If your flight leaves after 23:00, you’ll still see staff behind the counter, though certain locked cases of higher-value gear may stay closed later at night. Card payments work fine, and OMR, USD and other major currencies are accepted, with change typically given in Omani rials.
Stock skews to practical travel gear: 2‑pin and 3‑pin adapters, extra Type‑C cables, over-ear noise-cancelling headphones, plus smaller in‑ear sets around the 5–15 OMR mark. You’ll also find SD cards and USB sticks for cameras in the 32–128 GB range. Skip buying phones here unless you truly have to; selection is limited and airport pricing isn’t kind.
Tip: if you need a charger or adapter in T1, check your device’s plug type at the gate first, then walk back once with a clear list; it saves you a second lap through the duty‑free ring.
