T1’s main Toy Store sits on the departures level
You’ll find Toy Store in Muscat T1’s airside shopping strip after security, an easy stop on the way to the gates. It’s a quick option for last‑minute gifts for kids before boarding. Stock skews young: think stuffed animals, dolls, plastic cars, and simple games rather than high-end collectors’ items or electronics.
Prices run higher than Muscat city malls, with small plush toys often around 4–6 OMR and larger boxed sets pushing past 10 OMR. That’s the trade-off for airport convenience in T1. You pay in Omani rials at the counter, and most cards are accepted, including major international credit cards.
The shop keeps to standard T1 hours, typically opening for the first morning departures around 3:00–4:00 a.m. and trading through the late-night bank of flights after 23:00. If you have a tight 45‑minute connection, it’s a grab-and-go stop; with a longer layover, you can actually sift through the shelves to compare sizes and prices.
Selection leans on big global brands alongside generic toys, so you’ll spot familiar logos mixed with unbranded playsets. Don’t expect much in the way of Omani-themed souvenirs beyond the odd camel or dhow toy. If you need something small for onboard entertainment, aim for compact items that fit easily into a cabin bag and avoid the bulky boxed kits.
Tip: Check the packaging size against your hand baggage; some of the larger boxes sold in T1’s Toy Store are awkward in overhead bins on full A320 and 737 flights.
